Medical Xpress / Rare DNA variants reveal new metabolic links in one of the largest analyses yet
Led by University of Tartu researchers, the largest and most comprehensive study to date has been completed on how genetic differences between individuals influence metabolism. Published in Nature, the study provides a far ...
Phys.org / Crops predictably select growth boosting microbes regardless of soil type, study finds
A new study shows crop species, and not soil type, primarily determines the beneficial functions provided by root-associated microbes. In the study, soil obtained from across nine UK locations was used to cultivate six key ...
Tech Xplore / Biobased magnetic sensors printed from iron and cellulose rival some commercial devices
Today, magnetic field sensors are one of the invisible mass-produced products in the electronics industry. They measure movement, positions or distances and can be found in window contacts, steering wheels, hard disks, packaging ...
Phys.org / AI can mass-produce finance research papers indistinguishable from human work, reports study
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) tools are capable of mass-producing academic finance papers that are nearly indistinguishable from human-authored research, according to a new study published ...
Phys.org / Improved embryo freezing technique could preserve endangered species
The current practice of freezing embryos—used to assist reproduction in humans or animals or to conserve endangered species—routinely causes ice to form within the cells, ripping through cell membranes, changing the way proteins ...
Phys.org / Fake predator eyes scare off seabirds until they learn they're not real
In Danish fisheries, fish-eating seabirds are a menace. They often swoop down and feed on fish trapped in nets, which can hit profits and also sometimes lead to the accidental death of the birds. So scientists deployed an ...
Phys.org / Electromagnetic noise can send migrating bats off course, with effects lasting hours
New research has unearthed new insights into the disruptive and detrimental effects that human-produced electromagnetic noise can have on the ability of bats to migrate effectively. The study, published in the journal Science, ...
Phys.org / Forgotten museum fossil helps rewrite part of animal evolution
New research published in BMC Biology helps to fill in questions about the so-called "Furongian gap" from about 497 million to 485 million years ago, when paleontologists previously thought there were far fewer fossils than ...
Phys.org / Biologists improve biomass mapping tools to better track carbon storage
In the far north regions of Earth, where forests stretch across Alaska and Canada, climate change is unfolding at an accelerated pace. Arctic and boreal regions are warming two to four times faster than the global average, ...
Medical Xpress / Rising heat could triple heart disease burden in U.S. by 2050
A new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center predicts rising temperatures driven by climate change will dramatically increase heat-related ...
Tech Xplore / Filtering out humanity: AI-assisted internet research favors cold logic over ethos and pathos
Is the internet losing its soul? A collaborative study by UC Riverside computer and social scientists suggests so. As artificial intelligence increasingly answers our online questions with quick summaries and polished explanations, ...
Phys.org / Nanotube-coated catheter could detect bladder cancer biomarker 50,000 times more sensitively
Every year, about 85,000 Americans are diagnosed with bladder cancer. While treatment is often successful, bladder cancer has one of the highest rates of recurrence of any cancer: Following treatment, about 50% of patients ...
