Medical Xpress / Night shifts worsen type 2 diabetes management, study finds
Night shift workers living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) face challenges in maintaining a healthy diet and managing their condition. The findings by King's College London, as part of a series of studies published in Diabetic ...
Phys.org / Study finds 40% of European gas stoves leak cancer-causing benzene while turned off
Benzene, a compound linked with leukemia and other blood cancers, is leaking from gas stoves in Europe, a new study finds. According to the World Health Organization, there is no safe level of exposure to benzene, a compound ...
Phys.org / 'Cool' detectors cut neutrino mass upper limit by an order of magnitude
Their mass is extremely low, but how light are neutrinos really? A collaboration comprising German and international research groups has optimized its experiments to determine the mass of these "ghost particles." In doing ...
Tech Xplore / Holographic storage approach packs more data into the same space by encoding three properties of light
Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by combining three properties of light—amplitude, phase and polarization. By allowing more data to be ...
Phys.org / Shell-cracking turtles defied mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period
The mass extinction at the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods was catastrophic, wiping out much of life on Earth. Vertebrate groups that dominated at the time, such as dinosaurs and many large marine reptiles, ...
Phys.org / Sediment core reveals 10,800 years of precipitation history in the Sahara
The analysis of a sediment core from an oasis lake in Chad provides new insights into the history of precipitation in the Sahara. The study, led by the University of Cologne, shows that a prolonged wet phase, which lasted ...
Phys.org / One-of-a-kind experiment tracks plant evolution in response to climate change at 30 sites worldwide
For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming planet. But the pace ...
Tech Xplore / Bat-inspired ultrasound helps palm-sized drones navigate fog and smoke
A team led by Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher Nitin J. Sanket has shown that ultrasound sensors and a form of artificial intelligence (AI) can enable palm-sized aerial robots to navigate with limited power ...
Medical Xpress / Previously unrecognized immune response could enhance defense against cancer
In a paradigm-breaking study, researchers have discovered a novel way the immune system, specifically T cells, attack their target cells, reshaping long-held assumptions in immunology and demonstrating direct implications ...
Medical Xpress / Are heart failure and atrial fibrillation the same disease? Study reveals shared genetic and molecular mechanics
New research from a multi-institutional team, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, reveals that heart failure and atrial fibrillation share underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms, suggesting that the two cardiovascular ...
Medical Xpress / Teens who sleep past 8 a.m. eat more and move less, study suggests
When people think about ways to improve cardiovascular health, diet and exercise are often at the top of the list. But long-term health, especially in adolescents, might start with something more fundamental: sleep. A new ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean diet may boost mitochondrial signals linked to heart and brain health
A study led by researchers at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology suggests that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be driven, in part, by tiny proteins hidden within our mitochondria, opening a new window ...
