Medical Xpress / Ketogenic diets may increase cancer risk in the small intestine
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, also called a ketogenic diet, can help some people lose weight by forcing their bodies to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar.
Phys.org / Bacteria form 'herds' to survive predators, offering fresh insight into Earth's carbon cycle
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered that tiny photosynthetic bacteria band together into protective "herds" when attacked by predators—a survival strategy that could also influence how carbon is ...
Tech Xplore / New catalyst could enable safer electrolyzers for clean hydrogen production
Hydrogen could serve as a clean alternative to fossil fuels because, when used as a fuel, it produces water vapor instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). This cleaner fuel has proved particularly promising for the creation of so-called ...
Phys.org / Prey accessibility, not abundance, may shape predator behavior in penguins
Large seabird colonies have a surrounding boundary known as Ashmole's halo, where food sources are depleted, forcing the birds to travel farther to gather the food they need. The reason seems obvious—the more birds, the more ...
Medical Xpress / Researcher develops an affordable helping hand for stroke recovery
For millions of stroke survivors, something as simple as picking up a glass of water or holding a sandwich is a daily challenge. Quentin Sanders wants to make those moments easier through wearable robotic technology designed ...
Phys.org / Risks of solar storms may be underestimated, warn researchers
The effects of extreme space weather may be larger than previously thought, research in the journal Nature reveals. The paper, titled "Regression to the mean can explain saturation of geomagnetic storms," is led by Dr. Nithin ...
Tech Xplore / Human-machine learning boosts noninvasive brain-computer control in untrained users
Implantable devices in the brain have been used for about 30 years to assist people with disabilities in completing motor tasks. However, the devices are simply not accessible to the vast majority of people who need help. ...
Phys.org / Birds respond differently to environmental change—and their traits explain why
A sweeping new Cal Poly study of North American birds reveals that environmental change does not affect all species equally and that a bird's traits can explain whether populations rise or fall as local conditions change.
Phys.org / Self‑building molecular rings bring next‑generation drug delivery and smart materials closer
Rotaxanes are dumbbell-shaped mechanically interlocked molecules in which one or more ring-shaped molecules are threaded through a linear segment, known as the axle. To keep the ring from sliding off, two bulky groups, sometimes ...
Phys.org / For biodiversity to thrive across Europe, laws should treat wildlife as individuals capable of suffering, experts argue
Wildlife protection frameworks in both the EU and the UK need stronger and more consistent implementation—and must recognize animals as "individuals capable of experiencing suffering," rather than mere ecological assets.
Phys.org / New method scales up twist-engineered oxide materials for future electronics
Researchers have shown it is possible to expand the field of twistronics—literally. They have demonstrated a technique that allows them to fabricate oxide twistronic materials at much larger scales while also controlling ...
Phys.org / Unhoused people and wildlife are increasingly coming into contact. Here's what can be done to protect them
As homelessness increases around the world, more unhoused people are turning to parks and other urban green spaces to seek shelter. However, these places are also home to animals that live in and around urban areas.
