Phys.org / Annual global migration has nearly tripled since 2000, reshaping where and how people move
Global migration has risen sharply from approximately 13 million people per year in 2000 to around 35 million people per year in 2023. This is according to a new dataset on human migration published in Nature by researchers ...
Phys.org / Silver nanoparticles pave the way for precise DNA cutting and joining
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, enabling applications such ...
Medical Xpress / Hip dips: What are they and can you really get rid of them?
Hip dips are having a moment. The perfectly normal indentations that sit below your hips on the outer thigh have become the latest body feature to be scrutinized, fixed and agonized over on social media. But what are they? ...
Medical Xpress / By September, nearly a third of Americans will live in states with legal aid in dying
Jules Netherland traveled from her home in the Bronx to the New York state Capitol in Albany several times in the past few years, hoping to persuade the legislature to pass a medical aid-in-dying bill, allowing terminally ...
Phys.org / NASA's CloudCube pioneers miniaturized radar to study clouds, precipitation
A compact, multifrequency radar built by a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory will make it easier to collect information about dynamic cloud systems. Called CloudCube, this new instrument simultaneously probes the atmosphere ...
Phys.org / Canada's 'AI for All' strategy has ambitious growth targets, but it falls short on workers and the environment
Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled Canada's AI for All strategy on June 4, committing more than $2 billion in new spending and targeting $200 billion in additional GDP growth and 250,000 new jobs by 2031.
Tech Xplore / 'Reading relationships, crunching stats'—184-times faster data analysis
A research team at POSTECH led by Professor Wook-Shin Han of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence, along with Ph.D. candidates Taesung Lee and Jaehyun Ha, has ...
Medical Xpress / Once-weekly survodutide linked to drop in body weight in obesity
For adults with obesity without diabetes, once-weekly survodutide, an investigational glucagon receptor-glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor dual agonist, is associated with greater reductions in body weight than placebo, according ...
Phys.org / Where humpbacks gather near Tokyo's remote islands could reshape whale watching and conservation
Humpback whales are one of the most popular species for whale watching. Since they are active close to the water's surface, groups of whale watchers can often see them breaching and diving during breeding periods. One popular ...
Phys.org / Global rice production has nearly doubled over 50 years despite climate change
Global rice production nearly doubled between the 1960s and the 2010s, despite the negative impacts of climate change, according to a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The study found that management ...
Phys.org / P53's five-hour rhythm may let resonance target gene networks on command
Can networks of genes be stimulated using resonance? Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute are investigating whether the protein p53, which activates a range of different genes, can be induced to communicate with the body's ...
Phys.org / New methods make tracking individual bird species during migration possible
Researchers at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts and University of Illinois have developed breakthrough methods to track the migration of individual bird species by combining participatory science data ...
