Rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelves may cause global sea levels to rise far faster than expected
Global sea levels may rise faster than previously expected, suggests a new study in Nature Communications. The reason is that warming oceans appear to be meltin...
These monster black holes did not form the usual way—their history of violence is written into spacetime ripples
The most massive black holes in the universe detected by the ripples they make in spacetime were not born directly from collapsing stars, according to a new stu...
Troubled waters: Jakarta battles deadly, invasive suckerfish
Mounds of slimy carcasses pile up on a riverbank in Jakarta where authorities are fighting an uphill battle against a fast-breeding invasive fish flourishing in...
Magnetic 'super lenses' open new window on high-temperature superconductors
An international research team, including scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), has achieved a methodological breakthrough in the stu...
Hourglass nanographenes unlock strong, robust multi-spin entanglement
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and collaborators have developed a predictive design strategy for creating graphene-like molecules w...
Antimalarial drug hunt uncovers enzyme target with potent new inhibitors
Researchers from the Universities of Bath and Leeds (UK) have made a significant advance in the fight against malaria by uncovering a promising new potential ta...
Sound waves create mist that can act like 'plant sunscreen'
RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using high‑frequency sound waves to create a fine...
Researchers discover a new pathway to building energy-efficient computing chips
The growing popularity of electronic devices—from fitness trackers and laptops to smartphones—is driving demand for more energy-efficient computing chips. Now,...
Rare footage of elusive sea-floor creatures and backward-swimming fish captured by compact video-acoustic system
Arctic glacial fjords are hotspots of marine life, yet their seafloor environments remain some of the least explored regions on Earth. Their extreme remoteness...
Clean energy's nickel rush is heading straight for some of Earth's richest ecosystems
Meeting future nickel demand for stainless steel and clean energy technologies will require tough decisions with potential environmental trade-offs, a new study...
Selling yourself short: New research shows how sexualized dating profiles can undermine long-term appeal
New research led by Prof. Gurit Birnbaum, a researcher of sexuality in close relationships at Reichman University's Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology, and cond...
Cold-triggered ion channel in bacteria may point to broader temperature-sensing mechanism
All lifeforms need to continuously adapt to temperature changes to survive. Now, Weill Cornell Medicine investigators studying a bacterial protein have identifi...
