Phys.org / Study finds consumers pay extra for cars just under multiples of 10,000 miles
Think you're shopping intelligently for a used car? New research from the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin suggests you might be overly influenced by the first digit on the odometer, when you're ...
Phys.org / Could glass be dethroned as wine's top packaging? Researchers unbox consumer perceptions of wine packaging
With nearly 400 years under its cork, glass is still the top choice for consumers when it comes to packaging preferences for wine, but sustainability concerns may open the way to other container types, a study by food science ...
Medical Xpress / Minimally invasive percutaneous arterial bypass shows strong outcome regardless of distal vessel flow
New findings from a DETOUR2 substudy show that minimally invasive percutaneous transmural arterial bypass (PTAB) may offer a promising alternative to traditional leg bypass surgery for patients with complex peripheral arterial ...
Medical Xpress / GP nurses could transform access to sleep care, study indicates
A new Flinders University study shows that nurses working in general practice could play a major role in improving access to sleep‑health treatment, but only if patients and general practice staff are involved in designing ...
Medical Xpress / The importance of health literacy for international students in Japan
International students face a range of health challenges in their daily lives due to language barriers, different cultural values, and unfamiliar health care systems. Even something as basic as a dentist's appointment can ...
Phys.org / Could the mathematical 'shape' of the universe solve the cosmological constant problem?
The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding problems in modern physics.
Tech Xplore / One Tech Tip: Logging on at a cafe? Privacy and security guidelines for remote workers
For digital nomads, logging on to work from a cafe, co-working space, hotel lobby or airport lounge is a way of life.
Phys.org / Classical physics can explain quantum weirdness, study shows
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that same ball down to the size ...
Dialog / Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely believed to consist of dark matter and dark energy. Paradoxically, however, the nature of these dark ...
Phys.org / US climate sees decline in both hot and cold extreme temperatures since 1899, researchers claim
A comprehensive new study extending the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) record back to 1899 finds that both hot and cold temperature extremes across the contiguous United States have declined over the past 127 ...
Phys.org / Why does life prefer one 'hand' over the other? New study points to electron spin
A team of scientists has identified a new physical mechanism that could help explain one of the most persistent mysteries in science: why life consistently uses one "handed" version of its molecules and not the other. In ...
Phys.org / Particle thought to break physics followed rules all along, research reveals
A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an international team led by a Penn ...
