Phys.org / Female scientists wait longer to have papers published in life and biomedical sciences
If you are a woman working in biomedical and life sciences, you may have longer to wait for your academic paper to appear in print than a comparable paper authored by a man. According to research published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Mars' 'young' volcanoes prove more complex than scientists once thought
What appears to be a single volcanic eruption is often the result of complex processes operating deep beneath the surface, where magma moves, evolves, and changes over long periods of time. To fully understand how volcanoes ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds PM2.5-linked cardiovascular deaths fell 45% since 2001, disparities persist
Clean air laws have led to a significant reduction in long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution across much of the United States over the past two decades, yet tens of thousands of Americans still die each year ...
Phys.org / Quick course correction needed to avoid 'hothouse Earth' scenario, scientists say
Scientists say that multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet in increased danger of following a "hothouse" path driven by feedback loops that can amplify ...
Medical Xpress / A single oncolytic virus injection may help T cells infiltrate glioblastoma
A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shown that a single injection of an oncolytic virus—a genetically modified virus that selectively infects and destroys cancer cells—can ...
Phys.org / Predicting an animal's immune response based on its genetic data
What if cattle were selected not only for their productivity, but also for their resistance to disease? A study conducted by a team of scientists combining systemic immunology, genomics and machine learning provides a better ...
Medical Xpress / Major depressive disorder shares immune abnormalities and potential therapies with inflammatory skin diseases
A team of leading clinical research scientists from the Departments of Psychiatry and Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has found that the serum of patients with major depressive disorder shares immune ...
Phys.org / Leading AI models struggle to solve original math problems
Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks like literature searches ...
Phys.org / Rising CO₂ and warming jointly limit phosphorus availability in rice soils, decade-long study reveals
A decade-long study has revealed that rising atmospheric CO₂ and warming work together to reduce the availability of phosphorus in rice-upland crop rotation systems, potentially threatening future food security. The research, ...
Phys.org / Non-alcoholic wine: A booming business searching for quality
Bertrand Degat, vineyard manager for French zero-alcohol wine producer French Bloom, winces visibly when recalling some of the criticism and snobbery he has encountered from his contemporaries.
Phys.org / Stiff gels slow germs: Mapping the hydrogel properties that control bacterial growth
Hydrogels are soft, jelly-like materials that can absorb large amounts of water. They are widely used in medical technologies such as contact lenses and wound dressings, and are also a staple of laboratory research, where ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tool helps scientists see how cells work together inside diseased tissue
Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical research produces far more information than the human eye alone can handle, including detailed maps of ...
