Phys.org / Increased soil salinity alters global inorganic carbon storage, finds study
A new global study shows that increasing soil salinity is systematically reshaping the storage and distribution of soil inorganic carbon (SIC), a key but often-overlooked part of terrestrial ecosystems. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / Progenitor cells constantly attempt to produce new myelin-producing brain cells, study finds
In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult brain—undergo differentiation ...
Phys.org / Evidence of 'lightning-fast' evolution found after Chicxulub impact
The asteroid that struck the Earth 66 million years ago devastated life across the planet, wiping out the dinosaurs and other organisms in a hail of fire and catastrophic climate change. But new research shows that it also ...
Tech Xplore / Making blockchain fast enough for IoT networks
The vision of a fully connected world is rapidly becoming a reality through the Internet of Things (IoT)—a growing network of physical devices that collect and share data over the Internet, including everything from small ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular senescence linked to brain structure changes across lifespan
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain structure in both ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental CAR T therapy targets tumor's immune shield, not cancer cells directly
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an experimental immunotherapy that takes an unconventional approach to metastatic cancer: instead of going after cancer cells directly, it targets the ...
Medical Xpress / Internet Gaming Disorder is affecting a significant portion of young adults
Researchers out of Spain and Italy report a globally pooled Internet Gaming Disorder prevalence of 6.1% among adults ages 18–35. Internet Gaming Disorder is considered a condition for further study in DSM-5-TR, with official ...
Phys.org / Meet the marten: An updated look at a rare, adorable carnivore
Oregon State University researchers have painted a clearer picture of the coastal marten, a secretive, ferret-sized forest carnivore renowned for its cuteness but nearly driven to extinction by human activity in the 20th ...
Phys.org / Expanding existing mines poses overlooked long-term environmental and social risks
Mining companies worldwide are expanding mineral extraction at existing mines, as the rate of opening new sites slows, to meet global demand driven mainly by the need for clean energy infrastructure.
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts cancer metastasis risk using gene expression signatures
Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells remain largely unknown—yet understanding this is crucial for optimizing patient care.
Tech Xplore / New method helps AI reason like humans without extra training data
A study led by UC Riverside researchers offers a practical fix to one of artificial intelligence's toughest challenges by enabling AI systems to reason more like humans—without requiring new training data beyond test questions.
Medical Xpress / Small daily changes linked to dramatically longer lives
Two separate studies suggest that minor lifestyle changes can lead to a longer life. One Norwegian-led team estimated that adding five min/day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and reducing daily sedentary ...
