Medical Xpress / Rising temperatures could bring more vector-borne diseases to Canada, commentary warns
Climate change is affecting the local ecology in Canada, contributing to emerging tick- and mosquito-borne diseases and infections in humans, argue authors of a commentary published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal)
Phys.org / Supernova dust may be behind one of JWST's biggest puzzles
Astronomers may have found an explanation for one of the biggest mysteries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): why so many galaxies in the early universe appear unexpectedly bright in ultraviolet light. The ...
Medical Xpress / One in five pregnancies slipped past a critical test as congenital syphilis surged over 10 years
According to new research in CMAJ, one in five pregnant women in Ontario did not receive timely syphilis screening, which is critical for preventing syphilis infection in newborns (Canadian Medical Association Journal)
Medical Xpress / Surgical patients with mental health conditions who receive music therapy are more medically complex, study finds
A new study from University Hospitals Connor Whole Health found that patients with mental health and/or substance use disorders who undergo surgery and receive music therapy are more medically complex and therefore may experience ...
Phys.org / Why is almost everyone right-handed? The answer may lie in how we learned to walk
It is one of the strangest puzzles in human evolution. About 90% of people across every human culture favor their right hand—with no other primate species showing a population-level preference on this scale. Despite decades ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Is it time to expand our thinking about dark matter? A new study says yes
We may be more in the dark about dark matter than previously thought, according to a new analysis of distant galaxy clusters. Yale astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan, a leading theorist on the nature of black holes and dark ...
Phys.org / String theory is uniquely derived from basic assumptions about the universe, physicists show
If you could take an apple and break it into smaller and smaller parts, you would find molecules, then atoms, followed by subatomic particles like protons and the quarks and gluons that make them up. You might think you hit ...
Phys.org / Webb discovers one of the universe's first galaxies
Scientists have discovered a galaxy as it was 13 billion years ago, 800 million years after the Big Bang. It contains possible evidence of the universe's first stars and is one of the most chemically primitive galaxies observed ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists develop near-invisible solar cells that could turn windows into power generators
Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.
Medical Xpress / Written in the eye: How the retina's biological age could help predict osteoporosis risk
Eyes, the high-resolution biological devices that help us visualize the outside world, are now being used as a portal to assess our internal health. Scientists have found that a closer evaluation of how one's retina is aging ...
Phys.org / Coal pollution is cutting solar power output worldwide, study finds
New research led by the University of Oxford and University College London (UCL) has revealed that pollution from coal-fired power plants is significantly reducing the energy output of solar photovoltaic (solar PV) installations, ...
Medical Xpress / A new way to recharge aging muscle stem cells by restoring a key metabolic component
Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating muscle tissue throughout ...
