Medical Xpress / Asthma in older age linked to other comorbidities
Asthma in older age is associated with other comorbidities, according to a study published in the Journal of Asthma and Allergy. Martyna Miodońska, from the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, and colleagues ...
Phys.org / Quadratic gravity theory reshapes quantum view of Big Bang
Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests that the universe's rapid ...
Medical Xpress / Self‑harm treatments less effective for men compared to women: New research
Men are more likely to die by suicide globally.
Phys.org / Pairs of atoms observed existing in two places at once for the first time
Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. "It's really weird for us to think that this is how the universe works," says Dr. Sean Hodgman from the ANU Research School of Physics. "You can read about ...
Phys.org / In wrangling dark matter, some scientists find inspiration in the Torah, Krishna and Christ
When an invisible entity making up 85% of the universe's mass stumps the greatest scientific minds of our time, awe is an understandable response.
Phys.org / Huge quantities of German ammunition lie at the bottom of Norwegian lakes
The stockpile of German ammunition left in Norway in 1945 could have been cleared and dismantled by the Germans. Norway declined the offer and began dumping it in Lake Mjøsa and other lakes instead.
Phys.org / Human brain operates near, but not at, the critical point
A recent study published in Physical Review Letters reveals that many widely used signatures of criticality in brain data may be statistical artifacts. They propose a more robust framework that, when applied to whole-brain ...
Phys.org / Earth formed from material exclusively from the inner solar system, planetary scientists show
Planetary scientists have long debated where the material that formed Earth comes from. Despite its location in the inner solar system, they consider it likely that 6–40% of this material must have come from the outer solar ...
Phys.org / Lost mosaic reveals first image of female beast-fighter from the Roman era
When you think of a fight between an animal and a human in ancient Roman sports, the mental image is usually of a big man vs. an animal in a big arena filled with cheering spectators. In a new study, Alfonso Manas, a researcher ...
Phys.org / A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky—for everyone on Earth
More than 10,000 Starlink satellites currently orbit Earth. We see them crawling across dark skies, no matter how remote our location, and streaking through images from research telescopes.
Phys.org / SimCells successfully target and kill drug-resistant bacteria
We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so it goes on until some of our treatments no longer work. Superbugs and antimicrobial resistance ...
Phys.org / Gaia analysis finds Messier 35 is larger and older than earlier estimates
Astronomers from Egypt and Turkey have conducted a comprehensive analysis of kinematic, structural, and astrophysical parameters of a nearby open cluster known as NGC 2168. Results of the new study, published March 23 on ...
