Phys.org / Overlooked East Antarctica melting may skew sea level forecasts
A study published today found that while ice shelves in West Antarctica melt year-round, those in East Antarctica experience summer melting spikes, when sea ice retreats and warm ocean water flows beneath—a process known ...
Medical Xpress / A one-shot flu vaccine can beat avian flu strains before they appear
Scientists have developed a proof-of-concept vaccine that could offer broad protection against all known and emerging variants of highly pathogenic avian influenza (A5) viruses, including those that have yet to evolve. This ...
Phys.org / Reintroducing a classic technique for a new perspective on bacterial biofilm defenses
Caltech researchers have reintroduced a classic technique to image the formation and growth of individual cells that make up biofilms, sticky masses of millions of cells that are often responsible for antibiotic-tolerant ...
Medical Xpress / Decoded circuits reveal how brain cell networks stabilize memory formation
Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health researchers.
Phys.org / New method can measure ocean acidification using ambient wind noise
Since the Industrial Revolution, scientists estimate that the ocean has become around 30% more acidic from the uptake of additional anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Ocean acidification has widespread effects, including loss ...
Phys.org / Large quantities of water are created as a natural consequence of planet formation, experimental work demonstrates
Our galaxy's most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between magma oceans and primitive atmospheres during their early years, according to new research published in Nature ...
Tech Xplore / Human-centric soft robotics flip the script on 'The Terminator'
Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia Tech, the future of robotics is softer, smarter, and designed to help.
Medical Xpress / Potential cancer outcome differences among psoriasis biologics found
Copenhagen University Hospital–Herlev and Gentofte led a nationwide registry study that the authors claim shows a "pattern suggesting" a lower five-year risk of any first cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) with ...
Phys.org / AI-guided analysis assigns amino acid-level roles in protein design
With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and structure-regulating amino acids can be determined much more precisely than before.
Phys.org / Tricky treats: Why pumpkins accumulate pollutants
Pumpkins, squash, zucchini and their relatives accumulate soil pollutants in their edible parts. A Kobe University team has now identified the cause, making it possible to both make the produce safer and create plants that ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid tooth loss linked to higher risk of death in older people
In older adults, tooth loss may be linked to serious health risks. A team of Chinese researchers analyzed data from 8,073 older participants and found that people who lost their teeth more quickly had a higher risk of dying, ...
Tech Xplore / Sustainable aviation fuel made from food waste meets industry standards
Airplane travel is more popular than ever, and our desire for fast transportation means jet fuel has become a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
