Switching gravity on and off leaves particles behind, mathematical model finds
Hawking radiation causes black holes to eventually evaporate. This is because particle pairs are spontaneously created near the event horizon (the position of t...
Exposure to forever chemicals through sea spray may be overblown
Coastal residents may be worried about exposure to forever chemicals from sea spray during hot summer months, but York University researchers found little evide...
Study: Reservoir management system could save California $150 million every year
A new study from the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego finds that improved weather and...
First measurement of low-energy solar neutrinos scattering off electrons
Every second, tens of billions of neutrinos produced by nuclear fusion in the sun pass through every square centimeter of Earth—and through our bodies—almost wi...
MeerKAT directly detects faint hydrogen signal from the distant universe
Astronomers from the University of Manchester and the University of the Western Cape have directly detected an extremely faint radio signal from hydrogen gas bi...
Remote work offers flexibility, but at the cost of learning opportunities for young workers
Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to remote work, hybrid and remote arrangements have become an established part of the labor market....
New AI approaches to help understand complex biological data
Researchers at Cardiff University have presented two studies at the 2026 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026) that address fundamental chall...
Environmental, social and governance investor pressure sometimes causes firms to shift pollution to suppliers
Investors who evaluate companies using environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are increasingly expected to act as private regulators, using their i...
New AI model maps the ion binding sites that control how proteins work
Researchers at Constructor University and Constructor Labs have developed BiteNetI, a deep-learning model that locates the binding sites of 14 biologically impo...
Next-gen sensors: Catching water pollution in real time
Extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts and torrential rains, affect water quality in lakes, rivers and coastal areas. This creates significant challen...
Forest floor to treetops, cameras reveal Congo Basin's hidden wildlife
The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) tropical forests stretch across an extraordinary landscape of rivers, wetlands, savannas and towering trees. But in a f...
Ten-channel photonic interface links neutral-atom qubits in parallel
A research group in Japan has demonstrated a world-record 10-channel multiplexed quantum photonic interface based on an integrated waveguide array, a key techno...
