Phys.org / Scores of homes razed, one dead in Australian bushfires
Bushfires have razed hundreds of buildings across southeast Australia, authorities said Sunday, as they confirmed the first death from the disaster.
Medical Xpress / International collaboration produces detailed models of the 3D genome over time in cells
In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three-dimensional folding ...
Phys.org / As puzzling as a platypus: The JWST finds some hard to categorize objects
The platypus is one of evolution's lovable, oddball animals. The creature seems to defy well-understood rules of biology by combining physical traits in a bizarre way. They're egg-laying mammals with duck bills and beaver-like ...
Phys.org / Radio telescopes uncover 'invisible' gas around record-shattering cosmic explosion
Astronomers using the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) instruments, the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter ...
Medical Xpress / Sports medicine surgeon explains why kids need timeout from their sports
While many kids dream of becoming a professional or Olympic athlete, there may be physical and emotional drawbacks to children in elementary and middle school training like one.
Medical Xpress / What if ADHD risk isn't fixed at birth, but shaped by how early environments interact with a child's sensitivity?
A 17-year longitudinal study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev followed children from birth to adolescence to explore whether early-life factors can predict ADHD, and for whom the environment matters most.
Phys.org / Evidence shows cross-regional marine plastic pollution in green sea turtles
Researchers examined the diet and plastic ingestion of green sea turtles inhabiting waters around the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, and detected plastics in 7 of the 10 individuals studied. By integrating genetic, isotopic, and ...
Phys.org / Cold neutral gas in early universe prompts rethink of galaxy cluster evolution
A small group of young researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have, through observations of the early stages of an extremely large galaxy cluster's evolution, shown that the ...
Phys.org / Global study reveals widespread burning of plastic for heating and cooking
A new Curtin University-led study has shed new light on the widespread number of households in developing countries burning plastic as an everyday energy source, uncovering serious international health, social equality and ...
Phys.org / Dark stars could help solve three pressing puzzles of the high-redshift universe
A recent study provides answers to three seemingly disparate yet pressing cosmic dawn puzzles. Specifically, the authors show how dark stars could help explain the unexpected discovery of "blue monster" galaxies, the numerous ...
Phys.org / Advanced quantum detectors are reinventing the search for dark matter
When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture.
Phys.org / Dark matter and neutrinos may interact, challenging standard model of the universe
Scientists are a step closer to solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries as new research finds evidence that two of its least understood components may be interacting, offering a rare window into the darkest recesses ...
