Science
Phys.org reports that the ruled-out region extends five Earth–sun distances from 70 Oph A and half an Earth–sun distance from 70 Oph B. Smaller planets remain possible.
Science
Phys.org reports a snow-and-ice cooling effect of −14.4 watts per square meter for Northern Hemisphere lakes, versus −8.2 for nearby land. The gap is especially important in late spring.
Science
Phys.org reports that both birds' calls exceed 120 peak decibels, louder than chainsaws. Why they call so loudly remains unclear.
Science
Phys.org reports that the platform moved sideways twice a second. How the bees sense their own turns remains unclear.
Science
Medical Xpress reports that valerate improved CAR T-cell function in models, while indole metabolites reduced their efficacy.
Science
Tech Xplore reports that this can happen across Windows, Linux, Android and macOS, even without administrator rights.
Science
Phys.org reports that the herring stock did not disappear when the fishery collapsed. Herring from the Sound, a strait between Denmark and Sweden, had been a major northern European trade good.
Science
Phys.org reports that a Physical Review Letters study found magnetic order can persist in disordered magnets that lack an energy gap.
Science
Phys.org reports that species boundaries largely held after the 2011 tsunami, but major reproductive barriers alone could not explain the shift in stickleback ancestry.
Science
Phys.org describes a tool for mutating phages—viruses that infect bacteria—and investigating genes whose functions remain unknown.
Science
Phys.org reports that the particles outperformed both smaller and larger ones. The process converts CO₂ into CO, a raw material for products such as fuels.
Science
Phys.org reports that bacteria on coral reef fish gills have the genes needed for chemosynthesis, a potential not previously documented in fish. What the bacteria do there remains unclear.
Science
Phys.org reports measurements from two devices in a rare quantum Hall state. The quasiparticles’ predicted non-Abelian properties remain unconfirmed.
Science
SciOpen, sharing a Phys.org science update, describes the evidence as one of the highest-energy confirmations of quantum entanglement.
