Trust between nurses and parents plays a central role in effectively caring for medically fragile infants (MFIs) and supports parental well-being and infant development, according to a new study led by Lyndsay MacKay, an ...
Phys.org / Planned 1.7 million satellites 'devastating' for astronomy: Study
The 1.7 million satellites that companies are aiming to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years will have "devastating consequences for astronomy," new research warned Wednesday.
Phys.org / JWST's 'overmassive' early black holes may not be so massive after all
Astronomers studying a population of unusually X-ray-silent and overmassive black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope have found that they may not be as massive as they appear. The new paper, outlining a plausible ...

Science X / Moderate geomagnetic storm pushed 20 amps into New Zealand grid while alarms stayed quiet
June 2015's geomagnetic storm barely registered on satellite alarms, yet it quietly sent a steady 20-ampere current into New Zealand's power grid for more than an hour. While satellite dashboards remained calm, ground sensors ...
Medical Xpress / Medical AI may look less biased on paper but not in practice, new study finds
Large language models (LLMs) are only as good as the data they learn from. If their training data contains social biases, the models may unintentionally repeat those biases in their responses. As their use increases with ...
Medical Xpress / Psychedelic drug screen in mice may overlook stress and brain changes

Phys.org / Greenland meltwater adds to AMOC weakening, but updated model finds no tipping point in sight
The state of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been a hot topic among climate scientists in recent years. The AMOC is crucial for climate regulation because it pulls warm surface water from the tropics ...
Phys.org / Evidence of elusive high-energy chiral graviton excitations in quantum Hall systems
Electrons, negatively charged particles, sometimes coordinate their movements in ways that produce certain collective excitations referred to as quasiparticles. One case in which this occurs is the quantum Hall effect, a ...
Phys.org / Shackleton's final ship is no longer just a sonar shadow
