Phys.org / Timing 1080 drops to prevent predators bouncing back
While aerial 1080 drops sharply reduce numbers of rats and stoats, the predators—especially ship rats—can rebound to higher numbers within a few years. Studying 24 years of small-mammal tracking records across New Zealand's ...
Medical Xpress / Spinal cord stimulation eases pain and improves sensation in people with diabetic nerve damage
A multicenter randomized clinical trial led by researchers from the Pain Outcomes Lab at Wake Forest University School of Medicine found that high-frequency spinal cord stimulation significantly reduced pain and improved ...
Phys.org / AI and big data can help logistics companies navigate supply-chain disruptions
Artificial intelligence and big-data capacity might help logistics companies withstand supply-chain disruptions by making them more agile and resilient, according to research in the International Journal of Business Performance ...
Phys.org / Four in five researchers report harmful interactions during geoscience fieldwork. A new survey suggests a path forward.
Fieldwork is a vital part of geoscience research, allowing scientists and students to directly observe, interact with and collect data about Earth processes that cannot be replicated in the lab.
Medical Xpress / Widespread COVID death underreporting around the world raises broader questions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world faced the same basic challenge: measuring a fast-moving public health crisis and communicating its severity to citizens.
Phys.org / Electrical fingerprint on tiny cell particles could offer new way to spot pancreatic cancer signals
An electrical fingerprint found on tiny particles in the blood may help detect signs of pancreatic cancer that are often overlooked, according to new research from Rice University. The researchers developed a device that ...
Phys.org / The surprising place where giant dinosaurs incubated their eggs
Finding a fossilized dinosaur egg is exceptionally rare, but finding a stash of more than 250 shell fragments in the chilly southern reaches of the planet is even more surprising. The discoveries come from southernmost Patagonia ...
Medical Xpress / Protein-based MRI agent detects lung cancer and hidden metastases earlier than current scans
A multi-institutional research team led by Georgia State University Regents' Professor Emerita of Biochemistry and Biophysical Chemistry Jenny J. Yang has developed a new class of protein-based MRI contrast agents that detect ...
Phys.org / New insect genus and four species named for Taylor Swift and her albums
Taylor Swift is now the namesake of a genus of plant-feeding insects from Australia that were previously unknown to science.
Phys.org / Unconventional quantum materials could dramatically boost the search for dark matter
For decades, physicists have searched for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to make up roughly 85% of all matter in the universe. Although its gravitational influence shapes galaxies and the large-scale structure ...
Phys.org / X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the surface chemistry of bio-based hybrid materials
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...
Phys.org / Can AI tame torrential rain by 2050? The next frontier of weather control and forecasting
Japan has been experiencing increasingly severe damage from torrential rainfall triggered by typhoons and stationary linear rain bands. In response, an ambitious and unconventional idea is taking shape: artificially inducing ...
