How winter conditions shape future jellyfish blooms

Marine scientists at the University of Chester have discovered that environmental conditions experienced by jellyfish before winter can have lasting effects on the size and intensity of jellyfish blooms many months later. The study focused on the moon jellyfish, Aurelia aurita, o

Simulation reveals how glaciers transported rocks across the Alps 24,000 years ago

Many of the boulders scattered across the Swiss landscape did not originate where they now stand. Instead, they were carried by ice nearly 24,000 years ago. For the first time, researchers at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have reconstructed the journeys of these giant rocks a

Nanozymes map nanoparticle routes inside live cells without genetic engineering

Nanoparticles are widely used in medicine to deliver drugs, genes or imaging agents to specific parts of the body. Once a nanoparticle reaches a cell, however, many things can happen—it can reach its target, be degraded, interact with proteins that help transport it, or interact

Bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic Sea seem to be heavily reliant on trawlers for food

Bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic Sea are spending much of their time following trawlers to scavenge for food, scientists say. The Adriatic seabed has been plowed by bottom trawlers for decades, resulting in ecosystem damage. Many apex predators are no longer present there. Onl

AI must be built with Indigenous Knowledges, not against them

As Australia marks 50 years of NAIDOC Week, honoring the world's oldest living culture, humanity's newest technology has yet to reckon with a simple principle: "nothing about us, without us." The concern is that artificial intelligence (AI), like so many technologies before it, w

Astronomers may have caught an early galaxy in the process of dying

Astronomers have spotted many "red and dead" galaxies in the early universe. These are massive systems that stopped forming stars surprisingly early in cosmic history. Now, they may have found evidence of one in the act of becoming dead: a massive galaxy being stripped of its sta

Deuterium in comets tells interesting tales

Comets have played an interesting role in the history of astronomy. Since antiquity, many cultures saw them as omens or spirits, portending good or bad news for kings, queens and emperors. Over the past few hundred years, however, astronomers have studied them intently to underst

Did Israel's 'basket' initiative lower grocery bills?

Researchers from the Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University examined the Ministry of Economy's flagship "Israel's Basket" initiative and found that although it substantially reduced the prices of the 100 products included in the program, these reductions were accompan

Discrepancies in AI lunar crater catalogs discovered

A new Southwest Research Institute-led study compared eight AI-generated lunar crater catalogs, discovering that many of their published performance metrics drop sharply when the databases are evaluated using the same scientific standards humans are held to. Crater catalogs provi

Astronomers spot an extremely rare galaxy mega-merger

Scale in the universe is hard to understand from a purely human perspective. Many times, the math just doesn't sit well with our brains, which evolved to capture and process data about the world around us rather than grok the complexities of stellar dynamics and galaxy mergers. B
