Many Americans choose food based on cost and nutrition, but personal values, such as animal welfare and environmental concerns, also shape what ends up on our plates.
Tech Xplore / 3D printing method 'grows' intricate, ultra-strong materials inside water-based gel
Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process is mostly used only ...
Phys.org / Understanding the climate cost of cleaning our water
Each year, U.S. wastewater treatment plants clean trillions of gallons of water, from what we flush down the toilet to drain down the sink.
Medical Xpress / Stress sensitivity makes suicidal thoughts more extreme and persistent among the university population, study finds
Stress sensitivity increases the frequency, intensity, and variability of suicidal thoughts among the university community. These are the findings of a longitudinal study coordinated by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute ...
Phys.org / Screen time linked to lower academic achievement among elementary students in Ontario, Canada

Phys.org / The world's snow leopards are very similar genetically—findings suggest that doesn't bode well for their future
There are relatively few snow leopards in the world, and it has likely been that way for a long time, a new study indicates. This situation increases their risk of extinction in a changing environment.
Phys.org / Powerful and precise multi-color lasers now fit on a single chip
A few years ago, researchers in Michal Lipson's lab noticed something remarkable. They were working on a project to improve LiDAR, a technology that uses lightwaves to measure distance. The lab was designing high-power chips ...
Medical Xpress / Receptor in cerebellum provides new insights into molecular basis of ataxia
Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, identified a receptor that plays a crucial role in stress-induced motor incoordination associated with ataxias. These hereditary motor disorders have long been linked to the ...
Tech Xplore / Rechargeable magnesium battery prototype achieves stable operation at room temperature
As technology advances, the demand for large-scale and sustainable energy storage also increases. To address this need, researchers at Tohoku University have developed a prototype rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB) that ...
Phys.org / Analysis suggests attitudes, not income, drive energy savings at home
Some people flip off the lights the moment they leave a room, while others rarely think twice about saving energy. According to the most comprehensive analysis of people's sentiments toward household energy savings to date, ...
