Phys.org / What seven decades of hunting for aliens tells us
Since the 1950s, humanity has been searching for extraterrestrial life with increasingly sophisticated tools. But after decades of space probes, meteorite analysis, radio telescopes, and UFO investigations, what have we actually ...
Medical Xpress / One in four with type 2 diabetes faces muscle loss and worse outcomes
In a new paper published in Clinical Nutrition, "Sarcopenic Diabetes Is an Under-Recognized and Unmet Clinical Priority," nutrition and diabetes experts are calling attention to a little-known but serious complication of ...
Phys.org / Climate action saves lives. So why do climate models ignore well-being?
Climate change is already shaping our well-being. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of conflict, hunger or flooding.
Tech Xplore / Laser-assisted 3D printing can fabricate free-standing thermoset-based electronics in seconds
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These materials are highly durable, ...
Phys.org / Detecting strong-to-weak symmetry breaking might be impossible, study shows
When a system undergoes a transformation, yet an underlying physical property remains unchanged, this property is referred to as "symmetry." Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) occurs when a system breaks out of this symmetry ...
Medical Xpress / Psoriasis rates rise globally, with highest burden in wealthier regions
Researchers in China report that global incidence rates of psoriasis rose slightly from 1990 to 2021 and are projected to continue rising for both men and women through 2050.
Phys.org / New discoveries reveal Tell Abraq's role in ancient Persian Gulf trade
If there were a place that could be called the archaeological almanac of Saudi Arabian culture, it would be Tell Abraq, located on the west coast of the United Arab Emirates. This area contains traces of every cultural phase ...
Phys.org / Bipolar planetary nebula reveals rare open cluster association
By analyzing the data from the SuperCOSMOS Hα Survey (SHS) and from the Gaia satellite, astronomers have inspected a bipolar planetary nebula designated PHR J1724-3859. Results of the study, published Nov. 19 on the arXiv ...
Phys.org / Probing the quantum nature of black holes through entropy
In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at extremely low temperatures, ...
Medical Xpress / Bird flu viruses are resistant to fever, making them a major threat to humans
Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body's ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new research led by the universities ...
Medical Xpress / Single dose RSV vaccine protection found to wane over 18 months
Research led by the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System in Portland, Oregon, found that a single dose of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine reduced RSV infections and RSV-related emergency visits, hospitalizations, ...
Phys.org / Electric vehicle owners face new pay-per-mile tax. What could be the environmental costs?
Modern electric vehicles are transforming the roads with low noise, rapid acceleration and zero exhaust emissions. However, drivers of electric vehicles in the UK will now face a new 3p per mile charge and drivers of hybrid ...
