Phys.org / Bees avoid too much of a good thing by balancing nutrients in pollen, study reveals
New Oxford University-led research reveals that bees can regulate their feeding to avoid overconsuming certain essential nutrients, and that honey bees make a specialist "baby food" that gives their larvae a better-balanced ...
Phys.org / How cracks in dry soil impact moisture evaporation
Soils that are exposed to prolonged drought often develop desiccation cracks, which impact soil properties and exacerbate moisture loss through evapotranspiration. Now, a study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
Tech Xplore / New AI math tool could sharpen image editing, drug discovery and simulations
Clarkson University researchers have developed a new mathematical tool that could make artificial intelligence systems more accurate, controllable and useful across applications ranging from image editing to drug discovery.
Medical Xpress / Integrated trauma therapy found to be effective for people with co-occurring psychosis and PTSD
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, has found that people with psychosis experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder ...
Phys.org / AI teaches asset traders not to sweat the small stuff
Financial markets are governed by a combination of rational and irrational forces, statistical probabilities and "animal spirits." It takes fluency in both to understand the market, let alone beat it. Yet market actors, including ...
Phys.org / Climate change reshapes Spain's rockfall risk as frost weathering moves uphill
Climate change is altering where and when rocks are most likely to fracture across Spain, according to new research that suggests warming temperatures are redistributing a key process responsible for breaking down mountain ...
Tech Xplore / New battery management system makes electric car batteries safer and more durable
Just as an orchestra needs a conductor, a battery management system (BMS) controls the power storage of an electric vehicle. However, until now, monitoring has been based only on the voltages, currents and temperatures of ...
Phys.org / Dark biodiversity helps solve Darwin's 160-year-old puzzle
An international research team, which included University of Tartu visiting doctoral student Wen-Gang Zhang and Professor of Botany Meelis Pärtel, has found a new solution to one of ecology's long-standing controversies—Darwin's ...
Phys.org / Five new springtail species discovered in China
There is a Chinese saying that east or west, Guilin scenery is the best. Guilin and Chongqing, located in western China, are famous for their many mountains and rivers. They also harbor unique flora and fauna, such as the ...
Phys.org / Frozen Greenland middens preserve 4,500 years of farms, seal hunts and toilets
Greenland has a long and checkered history of human settlement: several Paleo-Inuit cultures since approximately 2,500 BCE, descendants of Vikings between the 10th and 15th centuries, and early modern Danes since 1721. All ...
Phys.org / Oddball exoplanet challenges what it means to be a hot Jupiter
New research led by a scientist at IPAC—a science and data center for astrophysics and planetary science at Caltech—studying the hot Jupiter CoRoT-2 b has settled on one of the three leading hypotheses explaining why its ...
Tech Xplore / Ease of use is key to exoskeleton adoption, engineers show
Wearable exoskeletons can help reduce physical strain in the workplace and protect employees from injury, but the technology has yet to achieve widespread adoption. A new study published in PLOS One by engineers at The University ...
