Phys.org / Lactose-free milk presents an opportunity to boost dairy consumption and coffee shop visits with coffee drinkers
For many coffee drinkers, choosing milk for their coffee shop order often involves navigating a growing list of choices, each carrying different expectations around taste, digestibility, cost, and more. A new study in the ...
Phys.org / Many wild bee species find home on a university campus
170 species of wild bees live on the Hubland Campus of Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU). This is the result of a study carried out by the Chair of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology at the JMU Biocentre from ...
Medical Xpress / Alternative breast cancer treatment tied to about four times higher mortality, nationwide analysis finds
The alternative medicine industry is expanding rapidly, fueled in large part by the surge of health-related content on social media. This growing trend has become an increasing concern for oncology practitioners and patients, ...
Tech Xplore / Sneaker-sized 'Electronic Dolphin' robot could transform oil spill cleanup
RMIT University engineers in Australia have built a remote-controlled minibot that hoovers up oil spills using an innovative filtering system inspired by sea urchins. Oil spills are still a serious problem around the world. ...
Phys.org / How changes on the Y chromosome may make species reproductively incompatible
When closely related species mate, their offspring sometimes survive but cannot reproduce. This pattern often affects males first, with hybrid males frequently failing to produce functional sperm even when hybrid females ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-compact photonic AI chip operates at the speed of light
Australian researchers have built an ultra-compact artificial intelligence (AI) chip that is able to make calculations using the power of light, at the speed of light. The nano photonic chip prototype, which harnesses the ...
Phys.org / Ancient hydrothermal carbon fuels microbes and crabs off Taiwan, study reveals
How is carbon metabolized and processed in different ecosystems? In a study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers led by Joely Maak, the study's first author and researcher in the Cluster ...
Phys.org / Recent pandemic viruses jumped to humans without prior adaptation, study finds
A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal viruses become capable of sparking human epidemics and pandemics. Using a phylogenetic, genome-wide analysis ...
Phys.org / 2D topological Kondo insulator observed in a moiré superlattice
When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated with the intrinsic angular momentum of localized electrons, this can give rise to the so-called ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse study sheds light on how the brain recognizes stable patterns in changing scenes
Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding environment. This ability ...
Phys.org / A brighter future may not suit everyone: Polar cod face difficulties due to warming
Under the Arctic sea ice, fish and plankton live in complete darkness, even in midsummer. Ice floes stop the sun's rays, especially if they are covered by snow. As the ocean heats up, the sea ice thaws, and new regions are ...
Medical Xpress / Babies with congenital heart disease have altered brain networks, research reveals
The prevalence of congenital heart disease points to the need for a better understanding of how it influences neurodevelopment. Jung-Hoon Kim and Catherine Limperopoulos, from Children's National Hospital, led a study examining ...
