Tech Xplore / New analysis framework for developing stronger foundations during urban redevelopment
Urban redevelopment in densely populated areas often requires demolition and replacement of aging buildings. As buildings are replaced, existing foundation piles must be removed, leaving cylindrical voids that must be backfilled ...
Medical Xpress / Exhaustion and trauma, not just finances, are pushing families to have fewer kids
Exhaustion, trauma and the harsh realities of parenting are driving more Australian families to think twice about having another child.
Phys.org / Scavenger animals are the missing link in Australia's bird flu response. Three experts explain
Australia is racing to contain the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which is now believed to have infected seven seabirds.
Medical Xpress / Obesity promotes lung cancer by suppressing immune response, study shows
A research team led by experts at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has documented new evidence that excess abdominal fat increases the risk of developing non-small cell lung cancer. Published in the Journal of Thoracic ...
Phys.org / National study asks principals what professional learning actually works for them
A new report sheds light on an understudied aspect of public school success. Since the 1970s, researchers have found that the most effective public schools tend to be led by highly skilled principals. Less clear, though, ...
Phys.org / Social norms can accelerate or undermine climate action, new model finds
A new mathematical model suggests that social norms may be just as important as economics in determining how the world responds to climate change. The research shows that efforts to reduce emissions in one region can unintentionally ...
Medical Xpress / New study suggests rural-urban mortality gap comes down to stress, rural infrastructure
Back in the late 1990s, a distressing trend took hold in rural America. At that time, rural and urban mortality rates started to diverge, with rural populations experiencing 9% higher mortality among working-age adults. Unfortunately, ...
Medical Xpress / Training program could ward off injuries among soccer girls
A targeted training program can help young female soccer players avoid torn knees and other injuries, a new study says. Girls who play soccer have a higher risk of leg and ankle injuries than boys, due to differences in strength ...
Phys.org / Black hole collisions may follow entropy law, offering simpler remnant predictions
When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the universe. The event is so energetic that it significantly distorts the universe around it. It emits ...
Phys.org / JWST's 'overmassive' early black holes may not be so massive after all
Astronomers studying a population of unusually X-ray-silent and overmassive black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope have found that they may not be as massive as they appear. The new paper, outlining a plausible ...
Phys.org / Tiny Jurassic bird reveals a key step in bird evolution
The transition from a lumbering, heavy dinosaur body to the flight-adapted bird body plan is one of many fascinating episodes in evolutionary history. Working out how this massive transformation took place relies heavily ...
Tech Xplore / Light-powered chip harvests energy, computes and senses chemicals in one stack
Most contemporary portable electronics, including laptops, smartphones and smart watches, are powered by batteries that need to be recharged daily or every few days. Over the past decade, however, some engineers have been ...
