For years, cities have been taking on efforts to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Yet little has been done to verify if such work has the intended outcome.
New research from the University of Kansas found that…

New computer code could lead to simpler, less costly stellarators for fusion power
Physicists have created a new computer code that could speed up the design of the complicated magnets that shape the plasma in stellarators, making the systems simpler and more affordable to build.
Like engineers who design high-performance…

Promising new research shows potential to cure recurrent urinary tract infections
Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically gentamicin, directly into the bladder tissue to better treat UTIs. They did this by creating nanogels combined with a…

How the brain uses ‘building blocks’ to navigate social interactions
Our brains use basic ‘building blocks’ of information to keep track of how people interact, enabling us to navigate complex social interactions, finds a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers.
For the study, published in…

Fragment of a human face aged over one million years discovered
The discovery of a human facial fragment aged over one million years represents the oldest known face in western Europe and confirms the region was inhabited by two species of human during the early Pleistocene, finds a new study involving a UCL…

Want to preserve biodiversity? Go big
Large, undisturbed forests are better for harboring biodiversity than fragmented landscapes, according to recent research. Ecologists agree that habitat loss and the fragmentation of forests reduces biodiversity in the remaining fragments. But…

How climate change affects rain and floods
Climate change may lead to more precipitation and more intense floods. A new study shows that to understand the details of this relationship, it is important to distinguish between different types of rainfall and flood events — namely, between…

Exciting moments on the edge
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature. The research, led by the University of Cambridge with international colleagues,…

‘Odd’ objects that adapt and move without a brain (w/video)
Mar 12, 2025 Inspired by how brainless lifeforms such as starfish and slime moulds move around, physicists have constructed ‘odd’ objects that autonomously roll, crawl and wiggle over unpredictable terrain,…
