Phys.org / How industry and geography play a role in support for radical right parties
Dr. Ruben Ruiz Rufino found that communities with clusters of workers in labor-intensive sectors consistently showed higher levels of support for radical-right movements than areas dominated by knowledge-based industries. ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds widening racial and gender inequities in polysubstance overdose deaths
U.S. overdose deaths involving polysubstance use—particularly opioids combined with stimulants—have risen sharply in recent years, with disproportionate increases among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations, especially ...
Medical Xpress / Why blood pressure during pregnancy matters so much, especially for Black women
High blood pressure during pregnancy is a serious concern for any woman. In addition to posing a threat to the health of the mother and baby, disorders such as preeclampsia are early warning signs that a woman could develop ...
Medical Xpress / New mapping model can help cities efficiently deploy blood resources to patients most in need
Using data from hospitals and emergency medical service providers to map out areas with the greatest need for trauma care and prehospital whole blood transfusions can enable hospital systems to deploy scarce blood resources ...
Medical Xpress / Strong social health linked to better brain function and resilience
A major international research collaboration led by UNSW Sydney's Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA), in partnership with an international consortium of six leading universities, has found that social health—how individuals ...
Phys.org / Gravity follows Newton and Einstein's rules, even at cosmic scales
Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and theoretical physicists, it is also a vexing invisible architect that guides the shape and evolution ...
Medical Xpress / Rising ACA costs leave many unable to pay for coverage
Higher health insurance costs are forcing some people to walk away from coverage even after signing up.
Dialog / Not so dark with Alena Tensor: Math framework could explain dark matter without invisible particles
Alena Tensor is a relatively new mathematical approach that allows for arbitrary curving and straightening of analyzed spacetimes. As it turns out, generalizing this model to all known fields and fully describing matter, ...
Medical Xpress / New study shows public backs overhaul of consent rules for donating frozen eggs to research
Egg freezing is becoming increasingly popular, yet most people who freeze their eggs never return to use them. When imposed storage limits are reached, individuals must choose whether to discard unused eggs, donate them to ...
Phys.org / This nasal spray rewinds the aging brain, restoring memory and reversing inflammation in preclinical models
Picture this: your brain is a high-performance engine. Over decades, it doesn't just wear down, it also starts to run hot. Tiny "fires" of inflammation smolder deep within the brain's memory center, creating a persistent ...
Phys.org / Torsion balances set strongest direct limits yet on ultralight dark matter
Dark matter is believed to make up a large fraction of the matter in the universe, yet its true nature remains unknown. Most past experiments have focused on heavier dark matter candidates, while much lighter dark matter, ...
Phys.org / Self-interacting dark matter may solve three cosmic puzzles
A study led by UC Riverside physicist Hai-Bo Yu suggests that a new type of dark matter could explain three astrophysical puzzles across vastly different environments. Published in Physical Review Letters, the study proposes ...
