For generations, early to bed and early to rise was seen as the blueprint for a healthy life, and any departure from it was often considered unhealthy. Scientists, however, have discovered that whether someone is an early ...
Medical Xpress / Can magnetic fields help fight Parkinson's disease?
An international team has succeeded in using a magnetic field to target structures deep within the brain. The researchers injected magnetic nanoplatelets into the relevant region. By doing so, they succeeded in treating movement ...
Phys.org / New method makes epigenetic aging clocks accurate and easier to interpret
Epigenetic clocks are important tools in modern aging research. Typically, they use characteristic DNA methylation patterns in the genome to precisely predict a person's age and infer conclusions about the individual's biological ...
Phys.org / Global soil protections deliver measurable gains for farmland health
Erosion, salinization and shrinking numbers of organisms such as worms and beneficial fungi can have a devastating effect on soil fertility, and so many parts of the world have passed laws to curb these processes. A study ...
Phys.org / Water-exchange openings linked to distinct marine communities inside offshore wind foundations
Research carried out three years after installation at the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm in the North Sea has found that distinct marine communities have developed inside offshore wind turbine foundations equipped ...
Phys.org / New map shows which neighborhoods are at risk of climate gentrification
Extreme heat is not only making cities less livable; it is also reshaping who can afford to live where. The highest levels of vulnerability to climate gentrification are no longer found in the urban core, but in the metropolitan ...
Phys.org / Hazardous Canadian wildfire smoke choking millions in US
The Manhattan skyline was obscured by thick haze, and Chicago closed its beaches Thursday as out-of-control Canadian wildfires raged, sending smoke spewing into the United States and exposing millions of people to dangerously ...

Bacteria can defend themselves against antibiotics with the help of an enzyme released by dying cells, according to a study by a team from the Institute for Biological Physics at the University of Cologne and Wageningen University ...
Phys.org / 3,400-year-old gold diadems and mouth-pieces from Cyprus blend the art of Egypt, Greece and the Near East
Buried in the rubble outside an ancient city, archaeologists have discovered golden diadems and mouthpieces stamped with sun-crowned bulls and running ibexes. Their designs borrow from nearly every corner of the ancient Mediterranean, ...
Phys.org / Statistical method broadens forecasts by modeling uncertainty beyond average outcomes
When it comes to statistics, we usually expect to be informed about what happens "on average." But sometimes the key information lies in deviations from that mean: how likely is heavy rain, and how likely is it to remain ...
Medical Xpress / Microbiota dysbiosis triggers intestinal cancer stemness
Scientists at National Taiwan University College of Medicine have discovered that cancer formation is not simply caused by gene mutations. Colorectal cancers primarily originate from epithelial cells that form adenocarcinomas ...
