Phys.org / Coastal and estuarine carbon removal technique may backfire when pushed too far
Scientists investigating a proposed way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using seawater have found that adding too much alkalinity to neutralize acids can trigger chemical reactions that undermine the process.
Medical Xpress / Hospital AI tool predicts low blood sugar in patients up to 24 hours in advance
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) ...
Phys.org / Research team cuts cost of building reconstituted cell-free systems by 95%
A research team led by Professor Joongoo Lee in the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed an automated, modular method for assembling reconstituted cell-free ...
Phys.org / The bond between humans and dogs remains remarkably consistent across societies, cross-cultural study reveals
A new study by an international research team led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig) has revealed striking similarities in the way humans and dogs interact ...
Phys.org / Primate evolution kept aging rates stable for 25 million years despite lifespan gaps
Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifespans.
Phys.org / Lamprey brain atlas reveals 450-million-year blueprint of vertebrate brains
What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the lamprey, a jawless, eel-like fish whose body plan has barely changed in roughly 360 million years.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Predicting earthquakes; two types of water; observing event horizons
Howdy, pards, here's a quick roundup of the week's science news: Moose, previously thought to be a transplanted species, are actually native to Colorado. A digital twin of a two-year-old child's brain revealed neural signatures ...
Medical Xpress / Intracellular mechanisms promote tumor survival during hypoxia
Northwestern Medicine scientists have, for the first time, described the underlying mechanisms that regulate how cells rapidly change gene expression in response to hypoxia, a key feature of many treatment-resistant tumors, ...
Phys.org / A large, harmless asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend
A large asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend, but don't worry: It poses no danger.
Phys.org / Swiss glaciers facing drastic loss from heat wave: Expert
Swiss glaciers are set to lose an enormous amount of ice due to the heat wave battering Europe, the head of Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) told AFP.
Phys.org / New driving model predicts split-second crash avoidance with humanlike accuracy
Scientists at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Waymo, have developed a new model that predicts with high accuracy how human drivers respond to dangerous traffic situations. For the first time, different ...
Tech Xplore / Swiss nuclear plant shut down due to heat wave
The reactors at Europe's oldest nuclear plant were shut down Friday, its Swiss operator said, after the heat wave roasting Europe sent temperatures soaring in the river used for cooling.
