Phys.org / Respiratory problems climb past 170,000 cases in haze-hit Indonesia
More than 170,000 respiratory cases were recorded in regions affected by haze in Indonesia, a Health Ministry official said Tuesday, as the country has battled for weeks to control fires that caused the toxic smog.
Phys.org / Growing up in poverty triples young people's likelihood of becoming NEET
Young people who grow up experiencing persistent poverty are more than three times as likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET) at 17 or 23 (3.3 and 3.4 times, respectively), according to new analysis of ...
Phys.org / Jupiter uses a surprisingly complex system to fend off particles from the sun
A University of Iowa-led research team has reported in a new study the most detailed observations to date of the bow shock at Jupiter, our solar system's gas giant. The findings from NASA's Juno mission reveal key differences ...
Phys.org / Physicists extend the search for quantum black holes at the LHC
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have extended the search for evidence of microscopic black holes produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The formation of these ...
Medical Xpress / Patients with chronic pain may benefit from group medical visits
More than one in five U.S. adults lives with chronic pain, which isolation and stigma can worsen. Group medical visits allow multiple patients with a common condition to receive care alongside health education and peer support.
Phys.org / Greenland's Qaanaaq Ice Cap has lost enough ice to produce a layer of water about 8 meters deep
Each summer, researchers from Hokkaido University returned to the Qaanaaq Ice Cap in northwestern Greenland to measure changes in the ice surface using aluminum poles drilled into the ice. Their 13-year record shows how the ...
Medical Xpress / Physician warmth and competence may help patients worry less over normal test results
Communicating normal test results that reveal no abnormalities isn't always enough to ease a patient's worries. In a study published in The Annals of Family Medicine journal, researchers asked 349 participants to imagine ...
Phys.org / Elusive builders of nearly perfect hexagonal tunnel fossils were probably small crustaceans—not worms
For more than 170 years, paleontologists have been trying to solve the mystery of what created the strangely uniform hexagonal tunnels found in fossils. In a new study published in Earth Science Reviews, a team of researchers ...
Phys.org / NASA spacecraft discovers a huge new crater on the moon
Scientists have discovered a crater on the moon that's bigger than the Roman Colosseum and is the result of a powerful impact two years ago that initially went undetected.
Phys.org / Early Mars rocks reveal at least three separate water episodes
When NASA's Perseverance rover reached the inner edge of Mars' Jezero Crater in September 2023, mission scientists were surprised by what they found. The geologic area, called the "Margin Unit," stretches along the shoreline ...
Phys.org / To understand the solar cycle, notice how the sun sleeps
The sun is such a constant in our lives that it can be difficult to imagine our star ever changing. But the sun can be quite variable. There are times when its magnetic field is turbulent and generates many sunspots and other ...
Phys.org / Superdense neutron star caught feeding on a blue hypergiant's stellar wind
Using data from the Japan–led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory, astronomers have directly observed a giant star's outflow, called a stellar wind, being captured by its compact companion and providing ...
