Phys.org / Deep learning helps discover hundreds of Antarctic earthquakes coming from an unlikely location
Most of the earthquakes we hear about are due to tectonic plates colliding or sliding past each other near plate boundaries. Yet researchers have detected some enigmatic earthquakes happening inside the more stable interiors ...
Medical Xpress / 'Zombie' cells play an unexpected role in the developing brain
Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized cells that allow essential ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping immune cell interactions in gut tissue reveals changes in ulcerative colitis
In a new study published in Science Immunology, researchers at King's College London looked at a type of tissue important for the immune response called gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which is located within the lining ...
Phys.org / One of the world's most important plate boundaries is older than previously thought
A chain of remote islands and underwater volcanoes between Alaska and Kamchatka has revealed a much older chapter in Earth's tectonic history than previously known. Along the Aleutian Arc, the Pacific Plate dives beneath ...
Phys.org / Black holes unleash delayed radio 'burps' years after tearing apart stars
Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) have found that when a supermassive black hole tears apart an unlucky star, the fireworks are not over when the first flash fades. Years after ...
Phys.org / Chandra tracks M87 black hole's evolving jet in finest X-ray detail yet
An international team of astronomers led by Camille Poitras, a Ph.D. student in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Laval University, has produced the most detailed X-ray view ever obtained of the jet launched by the ...
Tech Xplore / Solar tower plants gain open operational database, aiming to boost storage-friendly renewable power
Solar power towers can play an important role in the energy transition. They convert sunlight into heat that can be stored or used to generate electricity. Until now, however, data to test new methods for more efficient and ...
Medical Xpress / How do recovery community centers support people in recovery over time?
More than 1 in 10 adults in the United States believe they had a substance use problem at some point, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Among these adults, more than 7 in 10 considered ...
Phys.org / Dominance-oriented views of masculinity widespread among young men, finds study
Half of young men in Switzerland are concerned that "real men" are increasingly being marginalized in society. A large-scale study by the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development at the University of Zurich (UZH), in ...
Phys.org / NASA's SpaceX CRS-34 Dragon returns packed with space station science
Scientists await a big splash in the Pacific Ocean as one of the most research-packed Dragon spacecraft to date returns, completing the 34th SpaceX commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. ...
Phys.org / Why hotel crisis plans collapse when panic sets in, according to hospitality leaders
Hospitality leaders are being forced to handle far more than operational disruption when crises hit, according to new research from the University of Surrey. Researchers found that modern crises demand emotional resilience, ...
Tech Xplore / UK social housing design must adapt to suit changing climate demands, say researchers
A study carried out by researchers at the University of Manchester has found that future climate change will bring a clear shift toward summer cooling requirements, with implications for grid capacity, occupant well-being ...
