Phys.org / Tides can be mapped much more locally using a new method based on satellite images
When high or low tide occurs, the water does not necessarily rise and fall uniformly along the entire coastline. In fact, the height of the tide in a bay can vary by up to one meter (3 feet) from one location to another just ...
Medical Xpress / Fractional exhaled nitric oxide elevated in pediatric chest tightness-variant asthma
Children with chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) have higher fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels and lower measures of small airway function, according to a study published online Aug. 10 in Frontiers in Pediatrics.
Phys.org / Infection kills gut cells, while diet reshapes existing ones, fruit fly study finds
The intestines rely on different strategies to rebuild themselves in response to diet changes versus infections, according to a new Cornell study—a finding that can shed light on how gut health adapts to harsh conditions, ...
Phys.org / As super El Nino strengthens, study suggests that climate change is intensifying El Ninos
A new study suggests that El Ninos—the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures—are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.
Medical Xpress / New global definition of myocardial infarction aims to improve diagnosis, treatment and patient understanding
When a myocardial infarction, such as a heart attack, occurs, being able to classify its type can improve diagnosis and treatment. For the first time, a universal definition of myocardial infarction has been developed and ...
Phys.org / Aboriginal artists painted giant ancestral beings as colonization arrived, study finds
Slithering across the ceiling of an Australian rock shelter is a giant snake with a crocodile-like head, razor-sharp teeth and a long tongue. It's more than 6 meters (20 feet) long, making it one of the largest Rainbow Serpent ...
Tech Xplore / Controlled crumples give inflatable membranes multiple stable shapes for adaptable designs
Inflatable structures are all around us, from pool floaties and archways at the Tour de France to life-saving emergency resuscitators and vehicle airbags. As useful as these structures are, they are limited to only two stable ...
Phys.org / Hollow-core fiber platform could help different quantum technologies connect
Quantum technologies promise secure communication networks, powerful forms of computing and new sensing tools. One of the major challenges, however, is that different quantum systems often operate at different wavelengths ...
Phys.org / NASA's newest Roman space telescope launches on a quest to explore the hidden universe
NASA's newest crown jewel blasted off Sunday to hunt for planets around other stars, explore secret dark energy and survey the cosmos like never before.
Phys.org / The length of your online reviews may help scammers map your friends and target them
On the surface, posting online reviews looks like a win-win activity. It helps both businesses we like and people who might frequent them. But although posting reviews can benefit others, it can also put us all at risk, according ...
Phys.org / NASA's Roman telescope set to launch on cosmic mapping mission
NASA is preparing to launch its new flagship space telescope on Sunday, embarking on a multiyear mission to create an unprecedented map of the cosmos and shed light on some of the biggest mysteries in physics.
Medical Xpress / Clues to longevity may reside in the genomes of long-lived bats
The secret to a long life may lie in the genomes of the longest-lived mammals for their size: bats. That idea captivated Juan Manuel Vazquez when he was a graduate student at the University of Chicago, but at the time he ...
