"Japanese Migration to Canada, 1877–1988," a new reference essay by Masumi Izumi, was published in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Migration Studies. The article offers a sweeping, deeply researched account of Japanese ...
Medical Xpress / 'We need to rethink what is safe when it comes to parental alcohol use,' say experts
"Every time you drink heavily, even if you do so infrequently, it can affect your role as a parent," says doctoral research fellow Barbara Carvalho. She led a comprehensive systematic review conducted by researchers at the ...
Phys.org / Did this star eat its planets? A new study offers clues on 'chemical paradox' of a binary system
Astronomers have investigated a puzzling binary star system in which two stars that may have formed together now show dramatically different chemical compositions. The new study, uploaded to the arXiv preprint server on May ...
Medical Xpress / Fasting after 60 changes more than waistlines, exposing a trade-off many dieters never see coming
Most folks know intermittent fasting helps with weight loss, usually by limiting your daily eating window or cutting calories a couple of times a week. But does your age change how well this works for you—and might there ...
Phys.org / Hagfish fossils reveal stepwise eye simplification before near-total vision loss
Many animals, including humans, rely on their eyes to detect changes in their surroundings. The eyes of vertebrates, animals with a backbone or a similar supporting structure, contain a transparent structure (i.e., the lens) ...
Phys.org / Physicists discover attractive forces between molecular condensates may cause running off
Inside cells, certain functions are carried out by locally adjusting molecular composition. This condensation of material results in the formation of dense droplets that can dynamically rearrange. Because of this, interactions ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tools could help eye doctors diagnose retinal disease faster
Non-invasive eye scans allow doctors a zoomed-in, three-dimensional look beneath the eye's surface without causing discomfort or pain to the patient. Used routinely in clinics worldwide, the scans produce detailed views of ...
Phys.org / Remote work is taking its toll on the mental health of American workers, researchers find
Working from home comes with some major pluses. It's more flexible, there's no more pesky commute, work-life balance improves, and you can even stay in your pajamas all day if you want. But according to a major study of more ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea supergiant isopods last years without food by using a two-part survival system
The supergiant bathynomid is a deep-sea isopod famous for surviving more than five years without food. Despite residing in an extremely low-nutrient habitat, these organisms exhibit pronounced body gigantism, a trait that ...
Phys.org / Light pulses uncover Higgs mode that reshapes perovskite crystal symmetry
Waves of light and sound interact to drive electronic and structural changes in a perovskite crystal. At the atomic scale, nothing is ever truly still. Materials that appear perfectly rigid and motionless to the naked eye ...
Tech Xplore / Plastic waste yields jet fuel through new process costing as little as $1 per kilogram
Aviation is one of the sectors that contributes most to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change on Earth. One proposed strategy for mitigating or counterbalancing the effects of these emissions is to substitute existing ...
Phys.org / Dengue is no longer just a travel risk—what Google's mosquito plan could mean for your summer
This is not science fiction or some perverse prank. A Silicon Valley tech giant is seeking federal approval to release up to 64 million sterilized male mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years.
