Phys.org / Forest gaps and deadwood boost bird and bat diversity in woodlands
Disorder brings more life to the forest: Birds and bats react to this in different ways. This is shown by a new study from the University of Würzburg's Biocenter.
Phys.org / Antarctic Peninsula sees record high June temperatures
Temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula have reached a record-breaking high of 15.4C for June, and ice is melting at abnormal rates during the current winter, climate scientists told AFP on Thursday.
Phys.org / Chemists snap together complex 3D molecules from highly reactive 'radicals'—without losing their shape
Building the complex 3D molecules needed for new medicines has always been a bit like assembling a puzzle with pieces that keep trying to flip over. Now, chemists at Scripps Research have found a way to snap two such molecular ...
Phys.org / How bacteria use acetyl coenzyme as a building block in the formation of cells
Researchers at the University of Greifswald have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can regulate the production of the central metabolic molecule acetyl coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA). Acetyl-CoA, ...
Medical Xpress / Natural protein scaffold may speed bone healing by growing blood vessels at same time
For patients suffering from traumatic injuries that leave behind "volumetric" gaps—where significant bone and blood vessels are lost—the clock is always ticking. Without a nearby blood supply, cells in the center of a large ...
Medical Xpress / Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style
Our brains make us who we are. But what makes our brains? Which of the myriad experiences and characteristics that define a child's life and identity—from screen time to sleep to illness—leave imprints in the folds of that ...
Tech Xplore / World-first cloud service makes full use of quantum computing capacity
Researchers in Japan have developed quantum multi-programming auto mode, a function that automatically runs quantum programs from different users in parallel. Launched on the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology ...
Phys.org / Even weak ocean models can provide valuable information for environmental forecasts, study shows
Oxygen depletion in the western Baltic Sea is not uncommon. Oxygen-poor conditions regularly occur in deeper waters, placing stress on marine ecosystems and, in extreme cases, causing fish kills. As ocean temperatures continue ...
Phys.org / Science fiction? Musk's lofty SpaceX goals unrealistic, skeptics say
Elon Musk's SpaceX has made awe-inspiring achievements since its founding more than two decades ago and has big ideas—colonies on Mars, orbital AI data centers, rapidly reusable rockets—for the future.
Dialog / Binary asteroids' puzzling configurations may link to multi-satellite history
Binary asteroid systems are widespread throughout our inner solar system. For decades, the standard paradigm held that many of them form when a rapidly spinning primary asteroid casts off material, which then reaccumulates ...
Phys.org / Salmonella genomes reveal 45 previously unknown toxins in foodborne bacteria
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have discovered 45 new toxins produced by Salmonella bacteria, some of which are associated with foodborne infections. The study was conducted at the Center for Research ...
Medical Xpress / New GLP-3 drug significantly slashes both weight and blood sugar levels in Phase III trial
Over the past few years, GLP-1 drugs have transformed the treatment landscape for obesity and type 2 diabetes. By mimicking a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, slows digestion and curbs appetite, these medications ...
