Phys.org / Sea turtles are nesting earlier but producing fewer eggs, 17-year study finds
Climate change is reshaping life on Earth at an unprecedented pace. Across the globe, species are shifting their ranges, altering migration routes and breeding earlier in the year in response to rising temperatures. But while ...
Phys.org / A new turbulence equation for eddy interactions: AI and physics team up to tackle notoriously difficult question
The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known as turbulence. But ...
Phys.org / A little protein with a big role in building Earth's carbon fixing machinery
An international team of scientists has discovered that a small, low-abundance protein plays a surprisingly big role in assembling carboxysomes—specialized bacterial microcompartments that enable efficient carbon fixation ...
Phys.org / NASA moon mission spacesuit nears milestone
The next-generation spacesuit for NASA's Artemis III mission continues to advance by passing a contractor-led technical review, as the agency prepares to send humans to the moon's South Pole for the first time. Testing is ...
Phys.org / Driven electrolytes are agile and active at the nanoscale
Technologies for energy storage as well as biological systems such as the network of neurons in the brain depend on driven electrolytes that are traveling in an electric field due to their electrical charges. This concept ...
Tech Xplore / A microfluidic chip monitors gases using integrated, motionless pumps
A new microscale gas chromatography system integrates all fluidic components into a single chip for the first time. The design leverages three Knudsen pumps that move gas molecules using heat differentials to eliminate the ...
Medical Xpress / Climate-friendly diet yields unexpectedly strong nutritional outcomes
That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in an environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are ...
Phys.org / Plants retain a 'genetic memory' of past population crashes, study shows
Researchers at McGill University and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced ...
Medical Xpress / HIV antibody opens up new approaches for vaccine development and combination therapies
An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site and overcomes previous limitations of known antibodies. This study, led by Professor Dr. Florian ...
Medical Xpress / What telehealth changes for adult survivors of childhood cancers: More genetic testing, earlier screening options
Adult survivors of childhood cancers are at higher risk for another cancer—such as breast, colorectal, sarcomas and thyroid cancer—that is not a relapse of their original illness. Previous cancer therapies are largely ...
Medical Xpress / Can lifestyle changes reverse poor heart health?
We've all heard that making simple lifestyle changes today can help prevent heart disease down the line. But what if you already have key risk factors for heart disease, or even a diagnosis of heart disease itself? Is it ...
Phys.org / Rich medieval Christians bought graves 'closer to God' despite leprosy stigma, archaeologists find
Medieval Christians in Denmark showed off their wealth in death by buying prestigious graves: the closer to the church, the higher the price. Researchers used these gravesites to investigate social exclusion based on illness, ...
