Global warming is disrupting the connection between two major oceans

Climatology, Earth Science /

Changes in one ocean can have effects far beyond its own waters. For centuries, climate shifts in the tropical Pacific have been carried through the atmosphere, affecting temperatures in the Indian Ocean thousands of kilometers away. It is like a long-distance climate exchange between two vast ocean systems. The Indian Ocean’s Influence on Global Weather […]

Human-Aware Robots Reduce Back Strain During Team Lifting

Robotics, Tech /

When people collaborate in pairs or groups, they can tackle a broader range of challenges and often complete tasks more quickly and efficiently than they could alone. To provide similar support, robots need to quickly understand human actions and instructions, anticipate what their partners will do, and use those predictions to plan and carry out

Does Sharing a Room With a Sibling Build Patience?

Psychology, Science, Social /

Growing up in the same room as a brother or sister can turn everyday disagreements into regular opportunities to practice living with someone else. Sibling relationships can help children learn to negotiate, share, listen, compromise and understand different points of view. However, research does not show that sharing a bedroom alone creates these skills, nor

Earth’s oceans hit record-high temperatures, and it’s getting worse

Climatology, Earth Science /

Average ocean temperatures reached a record 21.10°C (69.98°F) on August 22, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). While that temperature is far below that of a warm bath, it marks the highest global ocean temperature recorded since C3S began collecting data in 1979.

The Backpack That Makes Every Step Feel Like Walking on the Moon

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Rekimoto Lab have developed a backpack that transforms ordinary jumps into moon-like leaps. Known as Lunavity—or Augmented Jump in the research paper—the device mounts a multi-rotor aircraft on the wearer’s back and generates continuous upward thrust. By reducing the user’s effective weight, it enables higher jumps, longer airtime, and

The world’s fastest-warming continent bakes beneath a record-breaking heat dome

Climatology, Earth Science /

Europe, gripped by a record-breaking heatwave, is warming faster than any other continent and extends into the rapidly heating Arctic. Britain, Ireland, and France have already set new May temperature records, with even more extreme heat expected in the days ahead. A heat dome is driving the scorching conditions, trapping a mass of hot air

Your Teeth Might Reveal a Hidden Sign of Pancreatic Cancer Survival

Dentistry, Healthcare /

A person’s teeth could offer an unexpected indicator of survival after pancreatic cancer surgery. Patients who had at least 21 natural teeth lived nearly two years longer on average than those with fewer teeth. Researchers believe oral health may reflect long-term exposure to inflammation, poor nutrition, frailty, and other health challenges. Researchers at Hiroshima University
