Phys.org / Oregano, rosemary and 'time': Long-term swine study shows natural-compound benefits
In the search to replace antibiotic growth promoters with effective alternatives in modern swine production, plant-based essential oils are showing potential to provide lasting benefits. In a rare long-term public study that ...
Phys.org / Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow
A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea-level rise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to ...
Phys.org / Reducing aircraft soot might not actually reduce the climate effects of contrails
Reducing aircraft soot emissions may not reduce contrail clouds, according to in-flight observations of emissions from a passenger jet with modern "lean-burn" engines, reported in Nature. Contrails from aircraft contribute ...
Phys.org / Stretching metals can tune catalysis: A new method predicts energy shifts
Heterogeneous catalysis—in which catalysts and reactants are of different phases, e.g., solid and gas—is important to many industrial processes and often involves solid metal as the catalyst. Ammonia synthesis, catalytic ...
Phys.org / Thirty previously unpublished verses by Empedocles discovered on a papyrus from Cairo
A 2,000-year-old papyrus fragment, discovered in the archives of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo, reveals 30 previously unpublished verses by Empedocles, a pre-Socratic philosopher of the fifth century ...
Phys.org / Researchers present first fossilized 'emperor' butterfly
Butterfly fossils are rare, and finds that preserve fine anatomical details and wing patterns are an absolute exception. An international research team from Sweden, the U.S., and Germany, led by Dr. Hossein Rajaei, lepidopterist ...
Phys.org / World's largest quantum circuit simulation for quantum chemistry achieved on 1,024 GPUs
A joint research team between the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) at The University of Osaka and Fixstars Corporation has demonstrated one of the world's largest classical simulations of iterative ...
Medical Xpress / Will medicinal cannabis help my mental health? Here are the evidence and the risks
Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are among the most common mental health conditions for which Australians are prescribed medicinal cannabis.
Medical Xpress / Long COVID is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease
People with long COVID are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in eClinicalMedicine. The results show that the risk of conditions such as cardiac ...
Medical Xpress / ACC: Expanding eligibility for low-income subsidies can improve CVD medication adherence
Expanding eligibility for full low-income subsidies (LIS) to include those with incomes between 135% and 150% of the federal poverty level (FPL) is associated with a reduction in cost-related medication nonadherence in Medicare ...
Medical Xpress / Inequalities in childhood pneumococcal vaccine uptake persist in England despite schedule change
Vaccine uptake data have been examined to assess the impact of moving from a "2+1" to a "1+1" Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) dose schedule on vaccine coverage and health inequalities among infants in England. Persistent ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-class radio-theranostic utilizes novel antibody to target B7-H3 proteins in cancer cells
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a first-in-class antibody that targets a protein overexpressed in many cancer types, allowing for the creation of a new radio-theranostic treatment ...
