Medical Xpress / BRIDGE-ICU workflow associated with reduced nonbeneficial ICU care
Conversations with newly admitted patients and their families about goals of care are designed to provide clarity and align treatment with their preferences, but an inconsistent approach may instead lead to nonbeneficial ...
Tech Xplore / Centralized car servers: New software architecture for future cars
To make autonomous vehicles as safe, affordable and competitive as possible, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have teamed up with partners from the automotive industry to develop a centralized architecture ...
Phys.org / Modeling Venus volcanic plumes to cloud-level heights
What is the importance of studying explosive volcanism on Venus? This is what a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the potential altitudes ...
Phys.org / 'Baby boom' of Bonelli's eagles during COVID lockdown unmasks impact of human activity
Thanks to more than three decades of monitoring, researchers at the University of Granada reveal how human absence during the pandemic impacted the reproduction of a threatened species: the Bonelli's eagle
Phys.org / Sugar-coated sensor sniffs out look-alike molecules in the air
Scientists have designed a new type of gas sensor that can tell apart "mirror image" versions of the same smell molecule, even at very low concentrations. By coating carbon nanotubes with custom-built sugar-based receptors, ...
Phys.org / Astrometry suggests possible exomoon orbiting gas giant HD 206893 B
Have scientists finally confirmed the existence of the first exomoon? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, and accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, hopes to address. A large international ...
Phys.org / Water retention on Earth-like planets around variable stars
What can star variability—changes in a star's brightness over time—teach astronomers about exoplanet habitability? This is what a recent study accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a ...
Phys.org / Why researchers are studying lipid levels in chimpanzee blood
If you've had an annual checkup recently, your doctor probably ran a blood test to look at things such as your cholesterol levels. Researchers are also interested in the levels of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood ...
Phys.org / Sticky beginnings: Surface-bound gels may explain life's origins on Earth
How did life begin? An international team of researchers from Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and Germany suggest that the answer may lie in sticky, surface-bound gels that existed long before the first cells.
Phys.org / How hidden stars shape our search for technosignatures
How can star populations help astronomers re-evaluate the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, also called technosignatures? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, hopes to address as a team ...
Phys.org / Fire suppression and winter warming jointly drive dieback of natural Mongolian pine forests
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have revealed the mechanism behind the dieback of natural Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) forests on sandy land. ...
Phys.org / Nature's greatest method actors: The insects that cosplay bumblebees
Deception is everywhere in nature. Animals and plants routinely cheat, lie and manipulate for their own benefit. One example is mimicry, where one species (the mimic) has evolved to resemble another (the model).
