Phys.org / Largest ever radio sky survey maps the universe in unprecedented detail
An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has published an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources and delivering the most complete census yet of actively growing ...
Phys.org / AI tool observes solar active regions to advance warnings of space weather
New research by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF-NCAR) has developed a new tool providing a first step toward the ability to forecast ...
Medical Xpress / The skinny on fat: 'How to eat to avoid chronic diseases'
This is the first celebration of Heart Month (it comes every February) since the release of the updated dietary guidelines for Americans. The new recommendations are meant to represent the most current scientific evidence ...
Medical Xpress / Study in Timor-Leste finds fish supply must be paired with public awareness to tackle malnutrition
Malnutrition is a critical developmental obstacle in Timor-Leste, with poor maternal health and nearly half of its children under five suffering from stunting from diets that are chronically low in nutrient-rich foods, including ...
Phys.org / Endangered marine life is being caught in fishing nets, but it doesn't need to be
Hundreds of thousands of marine animals are killed every year after becoming accidentally caught in commercial fishing nets. Sharks, skates and rays are at particular risk, alongside turtles, seals, whales and dolphins, many ...
Tech Xplore / The giant fire tornado that could save our oceans
In the frantic hours following an offshore oil spill, emergency responders face a destructive decision: let the oil spread or ignite it. Once ignited, it creates an "in-situ" fire pool that stops the oil from spreading and ...
Medical Xpress / A potential new lymphedema target: Clearing cholesterol deposits to reduce swelling
An international team led by National University of Singapore researchers has linked secondary lymphedema to excessive cholesterol buildup inside skin and around lymphatic vessels. Excess cholesterol deposition tracked with ...
Medical Xpress / Oatmeal shown to lower cholesterol and potentially stall diabetes
Whether plain with little more than a splash of milk or stirred through with any and all of yogurt, honey, berries and seeds, a bowl of porridge or oatmeal has been lauded as a source of warming goodness and body fuel long ...
Phys.org / Using light to probe fractional charges in a fractional Chern insulator
In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, which carry only a fraction ...
Phys.org / Flickering glacial climate may have shaped early human evolution
Researchers have identified a "tipping point" about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being relatively warm and stable to cold and chaotic, as continental ice sheets expanded in the Northern ...
Phys.org / New AI framework reveals chemistry driving high-conductivity lithium-ion electrolytes
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for ...
Tech Xplore / Exposing biases, moods, personalities and abstract concepts hidden in large language models
By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they're far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as certain tones, personalities, ...
