Phys.org / Genetic analysis reveals an alternative explanation for the Jomon migration to Japan
It's long been assumed the Jomon people, who had inhabited the Japanese archipelago since around 16,000 years ago, had multiple lineages resulting from different migration routes. But new genetic evidence, including mitochondrial ...
Medical Xpress / Mint, eucalyptus and chili compounds reveal powerful synergy against inflammation in immune cells
Many everyday foods and seasonings—such as herbs, spices, and aromatic plants—contain natural compounds called phytochemicals that can regulate inflammatory pathways. For centuries, these ingredients have been used together ...
Medical Xpress / Home care: The Dutch model that challenges bureaucracy
Bureaucracy once swallowed Dutch home care. Buurtzorg flipped the script by trusting nurses and focusing on purpose.
Phys.org / Draining wetlands produces substantial emissions in the Canadian Prairies
The value of wetlands on the landscape cannot be overstated—they store and filter water, provide wildlife habitat, cool the atmosphere and sequester carbon. Yet, in the farmland area of Canada's Prairies, wetlands are being ...
Medical Xpress / A gel for wounds that won't heal: Oxygen-delivering technology can prevent amputations
As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineers realize an on-chip excitonic hyperlens
When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it enters a new medium. In some ...
Medical Xpress / C-reactive protein links to ventricular repolarization in coronary artery disease, study finds
A new study reveals that the predictive power of key inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, shifts fundamentally depending on whether a patient suffers from cirrhosis or acute/chronic coronary disease.
Phys.org / Not all humans are 'super-scary' to wildlife, animal behavior study suggests
Humans have climbed to the top of the food chain by skillfully hunting, trapping, and fishing for other animals at scales that far exceed other predators, altering how the animals behave and earning the tag of a "super-predator." ...
Phys.org / Strong Field Spin-Boson model revises how intense lasers drive electrons in dense matter
A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids and liquids. This could ...
Phys.org / Double white dwarf system detected in a nearby stellar cluster
Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered a compact binary system consisting of two white dwarfs in the center of a nearby globular cluster designated NGC 6397. The finding was presented in a paper ...
Phys.org / Scientists raise 300,000 surfclams offshore, proving open-ocean aquaculture can work
Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in the open ...
Phys.org / What it really means to love your job—and when that love can become a liability
What does it mean to love your job? The language of love has become increasingly common in contemporary discussions of work. People say they want to love their jobs, organizations promise roles candidates will love, and recruitment ...
