Phys.org / Ticks that survive pesticides can withstand colder winters
Ticks that survive less-than-lethal doses of pesticide are able to withstand dangerous cold, which could help them spread tick-borne diseases farther north, a UC study has found. Biologists with the University of Cincinnati ...
Phys.org / FIFA and pop superstars should discount tickets for fans to keep climate costs of 'mega-events' down, say researchers
The vast majority of carbon emissions caused by "mega-events" such as World Cups and global concert tours come from audience travel, according to University of Cambridge researchers. In a new study, researchers estimate that ...
Medical Xpress / Two studies advance sudden cardiac arrest prediction
Warning symptoms, recurrent heart events may identify people at risk for this often-deadly event. Two studies from investigators at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University move the medical field closer to solving a longstanding ...
Medical Xpress / Semaglutide and other GLP-1 drugs not linked to risk of degenerative eye disease in adults with type 2 diabetes
An estimated 27% of U.S. adults with diabetes are using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs)—a type of medication that mimics the GLP-1 hormone—to lower blood sugar and support weight loss. Some research ...
Phys.org / Scientists find hidden individuality in viral infections
An international team of researchers developed a new way to uncover hidden differences in how viruses infect and destroy individual microbial cells—solving a biological puzzle that has persisted for more than 80 years.
Tech Xplore / A new robotic hand capable of switching between multiple grippers using a single motor
For robots to be used in various settings, such as factories, logistics, service industries and households, they must be able to stably handle a diverse range of objects differing in shape, size, weight and rigidity. However, ...
Medical Xpress / No evidence mobile phones cause brain cancer—new study
Electromagnetic waves are everywhere. They're the reason you can hear music when you turn on the radio, use Wi-Fi, find your way using satellite navigation, and make calls on a mobile phone. They are a form of electromagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Loneliness strongly linked to poorer mental health and well-being, study finds
People who feel lonely are much more likely to experience poorer mental health and lower well-being, a new collaborative study led by the University of Bristol, Nesta and Amsterdam UMC has found. Loneliness was also found ...
Phys.org / Microplastics reach even 2,000 meters below the ocean surface, study finds
Plastic pollution has become a global environmental crisis, with an estimated 11 million tons of plastic entering the oceans each year. As larger plastic debris breaks down into microplastics, these tiny particles are transported ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered election forecasts reveal hidden preferences inside language models
An international research team involving the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, analyzed the "inner workings" of AI language models when predicting political voting decisions. To do so, the researchers examined ...
Medical Xpress / Seven-year study finds non-surgical valve replacement holds up as well as open-heart surgery
The incidence of cardiovascular disease is rising across the globe, with more than 28 million people worldwide living with heart valve disease. Each year in the United States alone, surgeons perform approximately 106,000 ...
Phys.org / Physicists confirm 20-year-old theory that could boost quantum technology
Future quantum computing will require correlations between distant modules—a feature known as distributed entanglement. Traditionally, such entanglement has relied on active control and repeated measurements. Now, physicists ...
