Phys.org / Gravitational wave detectors can now 'autotune' signals to harmonize the heavens
Gravitational wave researchers working on the world's most sensitive scientific instruments have found a way to tune their detectors using a process akin to the pitch-correction used in music production.
Phys.org / A new model for predicting plant resistance can help prepare for climate change
A recent Minnesota Pollution Control Agency report found that climate change could cost Minnesotans more than $20 billion a year by 2040. This is just the local cost of a global problem. Ecosystem stability is essential to ...
Medical Xpress / More than 80% of infection-linked newborn deaths in South Africa may be preventable
A study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal has identified that the vast majority of neonatal (newborn infant in the first 28 days of life) deaths caused by infections in South Africa and other low-and-middle-income ...
Phys.org / New study provides rule of thumb to estimate land sustainability in river deltas
As densely populated coastal communities struggle to keep up with rising sea levels, new research reveals a way to predict how river deltas build land and protect coastal regions from encroaching oceans. This insight will ...
Phys.org / Satellite launch pollution is rapidly accumulating in the upper atmosphere
The potent pollution from so-called megaconstellation satellite systems launched en masse into space since 2019 will account for nearly half (42%) of the total climate impact of space sector pollution by the end of the decade, ...
Phys.org / Future big droughts may be worse than we think—NZ's past shows why
For an agricultural nation like New Zealand, severe drought is one of the most ominous consequences of a warming planet.
Tech Xplore / Prickly pear cacti show promise as the building materials of tomorrow
Researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Mechanical Engineering have shown that agricultural waste from prickly pear cactus plants could be used as a low-cost, low-carbon reinforcement for construction materials, ...
Medical Xpress / Should vitamin D be taken in the winter, or for bone or immune health?
It can be easy to think you get plenty of vitamin D when you live in a country bathed in sunshine, but the reality is more complicated. Almost one in four Australian adults have vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D supplements ...
Tech Xplore / Seven smart rings promise to break sign language barriers by turning hand movements into instant text
Researchers in South Korea have developed a new sign language translation system based on users wearing seven rings equipped with sensors. According to a new study published in the journal Science Advances, the technology ...
Science X / Our ancient continents were built from sun-baked ocean leftovers, proving Earth was recycling long before it was cool
New isotopic evidence is rewriting the story of Earth's first continents. Imagine the planet nearly 3.8 billion years ago: a water world ringed by volcanic islands. How did solid continents arise in such an alien world?
Phys.org / Homelessness could be 4 times higher in a decade due to impacts from climate change, study suggests
A study on the future of Australia's housing market has revealed that even well-intended housing market interventions could significantly worsen housing affordability and homelessness in the country due to the impacts of ...
Phys.org / Experimentally validated AI model predicts virulence of tomato yellow leaf curl virus
A CBBL research team led by Professor Balachandran Manavalan from the Department of Integrative Biotechnology at Sungkyunkwan University has developed DeepTYLCV, an accurate and interpretable artificial intelligence model ...
