Phys.org / A deep‑ocean climate plan wins rare EPA approval, but is sinking plants in the sea the answer?
Innovators who are working on ways to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to fight climate change are having a tough time lately.
Medical Xpress / Your address, ancestry and gut may be steering aging in ways medicine has barely begun to map
Researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine have found that ethnicity and geography may influence human molecular makeup—from metabolism and immunity to gut microbiota and biological aging. The findings, published in Cell, ...
Phys.org / 'Last titan': Southeast Asia's biggest dinosaur discovered
A new type of long-necked plant-eating dinosaur—the largest ever found in Southeast Asia—has been revealed in a study led by researchers at University College London (UCL), Mahasarakham University, Suranaree University of ...
Medical Xpress / Contact lenses treat depression in mice as effectively as anti-depressant medication
Materials scientists have designed brain-stimulating contact lenses that are as effective as Prozac at treating depression in mice. The soft, transparent contact lenses have in-built electrodes that deliver mild electrical ...
Phys.org / Liquid crystals enable on‑demand skyrmion formation at room temperature
Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric fields. This new method, described in a new study published in Physical Review Letters, may lead ...
Tech Xplore / Basalt could be the key to greener and cheaper cement
Ideas to reduce carbon emissions often revolve around renewable power, electric vehicles and energy efficiency. But there's another, less colorful character that's often overlooked: cement.
Phys.org / Satellite launch pollution is rapidly accumulating in the upper atmosphere
The potent pollution from so-called megaconstellation satellite systems launched en masse into space since 2019 will account for nearly half (42%) of the total climate impact of space sector pollution by the end of the decade, ...
Phys.org / Strange 500-million-year-old marine fossils reveal a feeding strategy that still shapes oceans today
More than 500 million years ago, during what is known as the Cambrian period, the seas and oceans on Earth were filled with a myriad of marine animals, many of which have now become extinct. This evolutionary burst in new ...
Medical Xpress / Friendly skin bacteria shut down inflammatory driver of eczema
Friendly skin bacteria could hold the key to stopping eczema in its tracks, according to a breakthrough by a team of UK and Japanese scientists. Their new study reveals harmless microbes living on our skin release powerful ...
Science X / Natural malaria immunity: Human volunteers may hold the secret to why some people never get sick
People living in regions where malaria outbreaks are common experience repeated exposure to the disease, which gradually teaches the body how to fight back. Over time, they develop naturally acquired immunity that helps the ...
Phys.org / Machine-learning method maps the uncertainty of biodiversity scenarios: The Bigfoot connection
To effectively protect biodiversity in an era of climate change, ecologists first have to know where animal and plant species are located and then be able to predict what habitats will be available to them in the future. ...
Tech Xplore / Blind ambition: AI agents can turn tasks into digital disasters
Computer scientists at UC Riverside have identified troubling flaws in a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to take over routine computer chores while users are away—sorting emails, organizing ...
