Phys.org / Why measuring land-use carbon emissions is so challenging—and how to fix it
A team led by LMU researchers shows why CO₂ fluxes from land use are so difficult to quantify—and how they can be estimated more accurately in the future.
Tech Xplore / Fake or the real thing? How AI can make it harder to trust the pictures we see
A new study has revealed that artificial intelligence can now generate images of real people that are virtually impossible to tell apart from genuine photographs.
Phys.org / Space dust reveals Arctic ice conditions before satellite imaging
Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 42% since 1979, when regular satellite monitoring began. As the ice grows thinner and recedes, more water is exposed to sunlight. Ice reflects sunlight but dark water absorbs it, advancing ...
Medical Xpress / Physical activity levels linked to risk for digestive system cancers
For digestive system cancers (DSCs), higher physical activity levels are associated with lower risk and mortality, according to a study published online Oct. 30 in JAMA Oncology.
Phys.org / Northern lights may be visible in parts of the US due to solar storms
Solar storms may bring colorful auroras to several northern U.S. states Thursday night.
Phys.org / Scientists produce powerhouse pigment behind octopus camouflage
Scientists at UC San Diego have moved one step closer to unlocking a superpower held by some of nature's greatest "masters of disguise." Octopuses, squids, cuttlefish and other animals in the cephalopod family are well known ...
Medical Xpress / Temporal artery ultrasound in the real-time diagnosis of stroke of the eye
For most of us, the phrase "stroke of the eye" sounds like a metaphor. But for UK HealthCare's Jagannadha "Jay" Avasarala, M.D., Ph.D., it's a literal and urgent diagnosis—one that could mean the difference between sight ...
Phys.org / Not-so-model behavior: Popular software tools may give faulty forecasts
Some of the models used to forecast everything from financial trends to animal populations in an ecosystem are incorrect, according to an Idaho State University statistician.
Medical Xpress / Lung cancer's earliest stages may be driven by inflammation
By creating high-resolution cellular and molecular visual maps of lung cancer before and during development, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that the earliest stages of lung ...
Phys.org / The presence of reeds on riverbanks could be beneficial for fish
The presence of reeds, an exotic and invasive plant capable of altering the ecological balance in the natural environment, could have positive effects on fish populations in rivers. This is according to a study published ...
Phys.org / Personal resource banks help new math teachers bridge theory and classroom practice
Teacher education often receives criticism for being too theoretical. Many students lack more training in how to teach in practice when they enter schools. They now receive this at the University of Agder (UiA) through Amalie ...
Phys.org / Young water recharges aquifers while old water feeds crops, study finds
Groundwater replenishing beneath temperate farmland fields may come from very recent rainfall, merely one to two weeks old, whereas the water actually taken up by crops is drawn from much older sources.
