Tech Xplore / Taller doesn't mean terrible: How smart design can lower carbon emissions for residential buildings
Taller buildings get a bad rap. New research from University of Toronto Engineering's Center for the Sustainable Built Environment (CSBE) has found that while adding height does slightly increase embodied emissions, other ...
Medical Xpress / Research reveals medication information risks in aged care
A new report from Griffith University has found that fragmented medication systems in Australian aged care are driving high rates of medication discrepancies and avoidable hospital admissions—costing the health system an ...
Phys.org / What Geminga's 100 TeV cutoff may mean for cosmic-ray acceleration in the Milky Way
For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo surrounding the Geminga pulsar ...
Medical Xpress / Eye tracking and brain signals reveal how some skills become second nature
Expertise isn't easy to pass down. Take riding a bike: A seasoned cyclist might talk a beginner through the basics of how to sit and when to push off. But other skills, like how hard to pedal to keep balanced, are more intuitive ...
