Medical Xpress / What a map of Queensland reveals about health inequality
Researchers have used geospatial data to illustrate significant life expectancy differences across Queensland, including for areas only kilometers apart within cities. Health geographer Associate Professor Jonathan Olsen ...
Tech Xplore / AI song generator startups Suno and Udio angered the music industry. Now they're hoping to join it
Suno CEO Mikey Shulman pulls up a chair to the recording studio desk where a research scientist at his artificial intelligence company is creating a new song. The flute line sounds promising. The percussion needs work.
Phys.org / Cosmologists collaborate to sharpen measurements of the Hubble constant
Drawing together leading experts from across the field, an international collaboration of cosmologists has created a unified approach for measuring the value of the Hubble constant. Published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, ...
Phys.org / Forget flatfooted lumbering T. rex. New research shows it walked on tiptoes
Powerful, fierce and the king of the Cretaceous world, Tyrannosaurus rex was the ultimate apex predator. But it was also surprisingly dainty on its feet, according to new research. Findings published in the journal Royal ...
Tech Xplore / Solar-powered truck charging gains ground on South Africa's freight corridors
Africa's freight corridors, long dominated by diesel trucks and constrained by unreliable power grids, are emerging as a new frontier in the global shift toward clean logistics, with solar-powered charging hubs designed specifically ...
Tech Xplore / For solar power to truly provide affordable energy access, we need to deploy it better, say researchers
Small household solar power systems have been gaining traction—and investment—as a means to provide affordable and sustainable energy to those living without access to electricity. But new research led by the University ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies key concerns of parenting with an early-onset cardiovascular condition
While heart disease in younger populations is rising globally, there have been virtually no studies examining parenting while navigating an early-onset cardiovascular condition. To address this gap, new focus group research ...
Phys.org / Physicists develop new method to measure universe's expansion rate
We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These methods are internally consistent ...
Phys.org / First plesiosaurian fossil discovered in Algeria fills a Cretaceous gap
In a study published in Historical Biology, Dr. Mohammed Naimi and his colleagues report the discovery of the first plesiosaurian remains from Algeria. Additionally, the fossil, dated to the Late Coniacian, is one of only ...
Phys.org / How a one‑eyed creature gave rise to our modern eyes
There is a tiny cyclops among your oldest ancestors, and humans share these remarkable ancestral roots with all other vertebrates. Researchers from Lund University and University of Sussex have found that all vertebrates ...
Phys.org / Why plants may bloom earlier: Tiny dew droplets are triggering early flowering in plants
Plants around the world are flowering earlier in the year, a trend attributed to climate change. But there could be another hitherto hidden trigger. Scientists led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggest ...
Phys.org / Water is bed bugs' kryptonite: The parasites avoid wet surfaces at all costs
Humans tend to fear bed bugs, and rightly so. The bloodsuckers are tough to get rid of once they've entered a home. But new research has, for the first time, identified one thing the bugs seem to fear—water and wet surfaces.
