Phys.org / Record heat pushes human-driven warming to 1.39C, 1.5C could arrive by 2030
Planetary heating is intensifying and key climate indicators are deteriorating, top scientists said Thursday, warning that funding decisions affecting Earth observation systems in the United States and other countries threaten ...
Phys.org / Novel forecasting model developed to predict river temperature
The temperature of rivers is something most people think about only if they plan to go swimming, kayaking or spend a day fishing. Few consider how it could potentially affect their electricity bill.
Medical Xpress / How often do people pass gas? There's now an app for that
Flatulence, or farting, is something people often joke about or find embarrassing when it happens unexpectedly. It is, however, an essential bodily function that allows the digestive system to keep pressure within the intestinal ...
Phys.org / Overlooked pollutants are responsible for about 15% of current global warming, study shows
In a new paper published in Science, leading scientists and climate policy experts show that 15% of current global warming (0.3°C) from human emissions stems from pollutants that fall outside most existing climate policy ...
Phys.org / Prescribed fires can cut smoke pollution for years, miles beyond burn areas
A new study finds that burning 500,000 acres (202,000 hectares) of California conifer forests each year with prescribed fire could cut deadly pollution from wildfire smoke by roughly 10% over a decade.
Phys.org / Landscape water velocities across Europe reshape nitrogen pollution risk under climate change
Nitrate pollution is a growing global environmental challenge due to the extensive use of fertilizer. A study published in Science, led by the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) with the Helmholtz ...
Phys.org / Newly synthesized fullerene material remains metallic even under low temperatures
An international team whose research was coordinated by Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) has reported the survival of metallic behavior in the strongly correlated molecular material ytterbium cesium fulleride (Yb₂CsC₆₀). ...
Phys.org / Parents' heat warning songs may prime zebra finch chicks for heat before they hatch
Sealed within an eggshell, how can chicks prepare for the world into which they are about to hatch, with no obvious direct communication channel across the shell? Adult zebra finches produce distinctive high-pitched warning ...
Medical Xpress / New GLP-3 drug significantly slashes both weight and blood sugar levels in Phase III trial
Over the past few years, GLP-1 drugs have transformed the treatment landscape for obesity and type 2 diabetes. By mimicking a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion and curbs appetite, these medications ...
Phys.org / Dino-killing asteroid may have fueled underground life for 8 million years
The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also created an underground environment suited to supporting new life, and new research suggests it lasted for millions of years longer than previously suspected.
Phys.org / Third-grade impulses linked to lower academic achievement and education into adulthood
Can your behavior in third grade predict outcomes in high school and beyond? A new study, published in Developmental Psychology, says yes.
