Dialog / Stress and disillusionment with med school: It's not just about med school
As psychiatrists practicing within medical schools, we provide care not only for general patients but also for medical students struggling with emotional distress. Most aspects of medical school—academic, clinical, and ...
Phys.org / Decade-long study shows reduced winter snowpack impairs forests' ability to store carbon
Forests are a crucial resource for carbon mitigation, currently offsetting around 20% of North American carbon emissions. As temperatures continue to rise, scientists are rushing to understand how climate change is affecting ...
Medical Xpress / Circadian disruption by night light linked to multiple cardiovascular outcomes
Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute researchers, along with colleagues in the UK and U.S., have linked brighter night-time light exposure to elevated risks of five major cardiovascular diseases.
Phys.org / Thirty years of research shows increased resistance in fungi
Fungi are increasingly resistant to antifungals, and the variation in resistance has significantly increased. This is evident from the analysis of more than 12,000 lung samples collected over 30 years in Dutch hospitals. ...
Phys.org / Seeking moral advice from large language models comes with risk of hidden biases
More and more people are turning to large language models like ChatGPT for life advice and free therapy, as it is sometimes perceived as a space free from human biases. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National ...
Tech Xplore / New concrete blend absorbs more carbon dioxide while using less cement
From the mud, straw, and gypsum mixtures of ancient Egypt's monumental pyramids to the sophisticated underwater material employed by Roman engineers in iconic structures like the Pantheon, concrete has long symbolized civilization's ...
Medical Xpress / Bats replay flight memories in fixed time packets, providing new clues into how memories are stored
Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences—from walks on the beach to presentations at work—and transforms them into long-term memories. How exactly this works remains a mystery, but neuroscientists believe ...
Phys.org / 'Space ice' is less like water than previously thought
"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, according to a new study by scientists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Cambridge.
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate pulsar PSR J1930+1852 and its pulsar wind nebula
Using NuSTAR and XMM-Newton satellites, astronomers from New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi have observed a pulsar known as PSR J1930+1852 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Results of the observational campaign, published ...
Phys.org / Calculating the electron's magnetic moment: State-dependent values emerge from Dirac equation
Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left thinking something like, ...
Medical Xpress / Roundworm study identifies proteins that could mediate neuron-glia communication as brain ages
The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect neurons.
Phys.org / Why some genes are more error-prone: Scientists uncover hidden rule in DNA transcription
Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at Rice University ...
