Inside the mysterious collapse of dark matter halos

For nearly 100 years, dark matter has remained one of the biggest unanswered questions in cosmology. Although it cannot be seen directly, its gravitational influence shapes galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. At the Perimeter Institute, two physicists are investigating how a particular form of dark matter, known…

This tiny power module could change how the world uses energy

Global demand for electricity is rising fast. Energy-hungry data centers that support artificial intelligence, along with expanding manufacturing, are putting unprecedented pressure on power systems worldwide. Meeting that demand will require more than simply generating additional electricity. One promising solution is to use existing energy supplies far more efficiently and…

How the frog meat trade helped spread a deadly fungus worldwide

The chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis), commonly called Bd, is widely recognized as a major factor behind the worldwide decline of amphibians. Scientists have identified multiple genetic variants of this disease causing fungus across different regions. Together, these strains have already contributed to population crashes in at least 500 species of…

Scientists trace fertilizer microplastics from fields to beaches

Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University set out to understand how polymer-coated fertilizer (PCF) used on farmland eventually reaches beaches and ocean waters. By examining PCF debris collected from shorelines across Japan, they found that very little fertilizer plastic returns to land through rivers. Only about 0.2% of the PCFs applied…

New research shows emotional expressions work differently in autism

A new study suggests that autistic and non-autistic people use their faces to show emotions in different ways. These differences may help explain why emotional expressions are sometimes misunderstood between the two groups. Researchers at the University of Birmingham carried out a large-scale project to map facial expressions linked to…

Fmi: ‘Escalation sui dazi rischio rilevante per la crescita’ – Notizie – Ansa.it

“E’ evidente che i rischi geopolitici e l’ulteriore aumento delle tensioni commerciali rappresentano uno dei rischi principali – tra i più pressanti – per l’economia globale”. Lo ha detto il capo economista del Fmi, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, in conferenza stampa a Bruxelles, precisando che le proiezioni nel nuovo World Economic Outlook…

Cannabis was touted for nerve pain. The evidence falls short

An updated Cochrane review reports that there is still no clear proof that cannabis-based medicines effectively relieve chronic neuropathic pain. Despite growing interest in these treatments, the latest evidence does not show reliable pain reduction compared with placebo. Chronic neuropathic pain develops when nerves are damaged, often leading to persistent…

How cancer disrupts the brain and triggers anxiety and insomnia

“The brain is an exquisite sensor of what’s going on in your body,” says Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Assistant Professor Jeremy Borniger. “But it requires balance. Neurons need to be active or inactive at the right times. If that rhythm goes out of sync even a little bit, it can…

Silver just solved a major solid-state battery problem

Using a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one inside a battery could enable rechargeable lithium metal batteries that are safer, store much more energy, and recharge far faster than today’s lithium-ion batteries. This idea has attracted scientists and engineers for decades. However, progress has been limited by a critical…
