Phys.org / Climate policies: The swing voters that determine their fate
The climate measures currently in place are unlikely to meet Paris Climate Agreement targets. Whether further political measures can move us closer to the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees and combating climate ...
Phys.org / First absolute dating of Paleolithic paintings in the Dordogne
A research team led by a CNRS researcher has for the first time accurately determined the age of the cave paintings at Font-de-Gaume (Les Eyzies) in Dordogne (southwestern France), according to a study published on March ...
Tech Xplore / Biohybrid image sensor uses water-based electrolyte to mimic retina's rods and cones
Both image photodetector arrays and retinas are pixelated sensors that dynamically extract various features from the visual scene—e.g., color, brightness, and contrast—before transmitting electrical signals to either ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct tumor 'neighborhoods' could guide more targeted treatments in aggressive childhood brain cancer
New research published in Nature finds that tumor cells within supratentorial ependymomas (SE)—an aggressive childhood brain cancer—cluster into distinct tumor cell populations. Much like a neighborhood, each cell subtype ...
Medical Xpress / Mothers' exposure to microbes protects their newborn babies against infection
A multi-center study led by researchers at Cincinnati Children's sheds new light on why some newborns become severely ill from Escherichia coli infection, but others do not. It turns out that most babies are immune because ...
Medical Xpress / Dynamic gel helps scientists grow organs more reliably in the lab
Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes. But they never do it the same way twice, which makes it hard to use these so-called "organoids" to study disease. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco ...
Medical Xpress / 1 in 3 Americans say sacrificed for health care costs
One in three Americans said they made some sacrifice last year—like skipping a meal or rationing medicine—to cover health care costs, according to a survey released Thursday.
Medical Xpress / Could a hot cup of matcha dial down the 'sneeze switch' in allergic rhinitis?
There's now another reason to love Japan's famous matcha: A study in mice suggests that the green tea powder could reduce the need to sneeze in people with nasal allergies.
Phys.org / 'Peculiar' crocodile ancestor started life on four legs before learning to walk on two
A "peculiar" ancient relative of the crocodile which experts believe began life on four legs before, in adulthood, it learned how to walk on just two has been revealed in a new study. Named Sonselasuchus cedrus, this archaic ...
Medical Xpress / Blood marker for Alzheimer's may also be useful in heart and kidney diseases
A certain blood protein regarded as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease also appears to play a role in other disorders. Researchers at DZNE and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) at the University ...
Medical Xpress / A 3D printable scaffold to support fast bone growth
A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows promise for bone repair applications.
Tech Xplore / Facing the music: Detecting dangerous driving through AI facial analysis
Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing new technology that could change how drunk and dangerous drivers are identified. Using a single 3D deep learning model, researchers are able to detect three major ...
