On Dec. 8, Federal fisheries officials rejected a bid to designate West Coast Chinook salmon as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act.
Phys.org / Eco-friendly, photo-switchable smart adhesives use biomass-derived materials
Conventional petroleum-based adhesives rely heavily on the petrochemical industry and pose environmental risks due to harmful emissions and limited reusability. In a new study, researchers developed a novel photo-switchable ...
Phys.org / School feeding programs lead to modest but meaningful results, according to review
Free or subsidized school meals lead to modest gains in math and school enrollment, according to a new Cochrane review that examined the global impact of school feeding programs on disadvantaged children in both high-income ...
Phys.org / The JWST just identified a supernova from only 730 million years after the Big Bang
Supernovae aren't one of the JWST's main science themes, but the perceptive telescope is full of surprises. Recently, it pinpointed a single star in a galaxy when the universe was only about 730 million years old. It wasn't ...
Phys.org / Simulations reveal protein 'dynamin' constricts cell membranes by loosening its grip
Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the membrane must be constricted ...
Medical Xpress / The underlying problems of electroconvulsive therapy patients are often ignored, global study suggests
A major international survey of people receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has found that most patients are not asked about the childhood adversities or recent life stressors that they believe caused their difficulties.
Tech Xplore / From early cars to generative AI, new technologies create demand for specialized materials
Generative artificial intelligence has become widely accepted as a tool that increases productivity. Yet the technology is far from mature. Large language models advance rapidly from one generation to the next, and experts ...
