Phys.org / Quantum dynamics show 'memory' depends on whether states or observables evolve
An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings show that a quantum process can appear memoryless from one perspective while retaining memory from ...
Medical Xpress / No evidence ADHD is being over-diagnosed, say experts
Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support, and treatment. In a paper published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, a group of experts say there ...
Phys.org / Smarter mangrove protection: Study links a 7.3% area boost to 13.3% resilience gain
A global study of mangroves has found that a modest boost in conserved areas could significantly increase their ability to adapt to the changing climate, including rising sea levels. University of Queensland Ph.D. candidate ...
Phys.org / Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique
Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.
Medical Xpress / New study looks at hidden privacy concerns of menopause tech
New research by academics at Royal Holloway has revealed privacy and advice concerns surrounding technology aimed at helping women navigate menopause. The study, which surveyed 310 UK participants, is warning that sensitive ...
Phys.org / Irrigation gaps in weather models could skew air quality forecasts, study finds
Outdoor air pollution is estimated to contribute to more than 100,000 premature deaths in the United States each year, according to the National Weather Service. Accurate air quality forecasts—designed to protect public ...
Medical Xpress / Finding the right supportive footwear for pain relief is key, say podiatrists
If you suffer from persistent foot or lower body discomfort, the solution might be found in your closet rather than your medicine cabinet.
Phys.org / Ancient plant-eater with a twisted jaw and sideways-facing teeth was a 'living fossil' in its own time
In a dry riverbed in Brazil, in a dense forest near the Amazon, a team of paleontologists found a fossilized jawbone from an ancient animal. Over the course of their fieldwork, they found eight similar bones, each around ...
Tech Xplore / Americans don't just fear driverless cars will crash—they fear mass job losses
While much of the public debate about self-driving cars focuses on safety, a new national study from the University of California San Diego reveals Americans' doubts about driverless cars aren't just about the fear of a crash. ...
Phys.org / Rewilding could fill gap left by Panama's lost giants
Many large herbivores that once roamed modern-day Panama have declined or died out—including the 6-meter-long giant ground sloth and elephant-related creatures called Cuvieronius. New research suggests that introducing ...
Phys.org / Using individual atoms to achieve fossil-free chemistry
Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In many cases, this energy barrier is low—such as when striking a match. For many key reactions ...
Phys.org / Feral horses and cattle create more resilient nature, rewilding study reveals
Protected natural areas across Europe are changing. Climate change, with rising temperatures and heavy rainfall, is turbocharging the growth of shrubs and trees, choking the flowers and insects that need the light and heat ...
