Phys.org / Scientists develop new method to estimate hidden species
When researchers survey wildlife in a lake, forest, or other habitat, they rarely capture every species present—some are simply too rare or elusive to detect. A new study published in the May issue of Ecological Informatics ...
Medical Xpress / Veterans with cancer face years of elevated suicide risk, with danger highest just after diagnosis
Veterans diagnosed with cancer face a higher risk of suicide attempts—especially in the months following diagnosis—and that risk can persist for years, found a large, national study led by Oregon Health & Science University ...
Phys.org / Findings could justify greater protections for minks in Everglades
Their fur might feel the same, but a mink in the Everglades is not the same as a mink from northern Florida, researchers from the University of Connecticut and Central Connecticut State University report in the April 20 issue ...
Medical Xpress / Healthy lifestyle shown to lower risk of death after cancer diagnosis
New evidence shows that sticking to five lifestyle recommendations improves survival after a later cancer diagnosis. The findings provide encouraging evidence that simple, achievable habits established before a cancer diagnosis ...
Phys.org / Platform fast-tracks microbial design for high-temp manufacturing
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a platform that engineers heat-loving microbes for industrial-scale manufacturing in a matter of weeks compared with previous approaches ...
Phys.org / Ripples in fire-ant collectives suggest motions are driven by neighbor alignments
Researchers in Spain have discovered that in collectives of moving fire ants, rippling "waves" of density and activity are likely triggered by local regions where ants collectively travel in the same direction as their neighbors.
Phys.org / The generation of massive Schrödinger cat states using ultracold atoms
Quantum mechanics is a physics framework that describes how matter and energy behave at an extremely small scale, specifically at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. An effect predicted by the laws of quantum mechanics ...
Medical Xpress / Unprecedented view inside live stem cells reveals aging process and loss of regenerative capacity
Scientists have developed a powerful new technique that allows them to observe how individual cells manufacture proteins during aging, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the hidden molecular activity of stem cells in ...
Phys.org / A rare blue micromoon rises this weekend
Get set for a rare blue micromoon this weekend—a blue moon that's also the most distant and smallest-looking full moon of the year.
Medical Xpress / Young adults are more perfectionistic than ever before, study finds
College students feel more pressure to be perfect than they did a generation ago, finds research published in Psychological Bulletin. That increase in perfectionism may be tied to social and economic factors such as rising ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis use does not lower testosterone, study concludes
The effects of cannabis on the hormonal system and male fertility remain controversial within the scientific community. A study conducted by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Swiss Center for Applied ...
Phys.org / Neanderthal ancestry may lower defenses against common DNA viruses in people today
Researchers have found surprising links that show that Neanderthal ancestry influences our immune system today in ways more nuanced than previously recognized. Their work is published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution.
