Medical Xpress / Study identifies which bacteria trigger the 'farm effect' that makes children less prone to allergies
Children who grow up in a farm environment are less prone to allergies, asthma and hay fever than their classmates. This so-called farm effect has been identified in several observational studies worldwide. It is most likely ...
Tech Xplore / Stable-GFlowNet uncovers more hidden weaknesses in generative AI models
KAIST researchers have developed a safety verification technology that uncovers roughly seven times more hidden vulnerabilities in AI than existing methods. The technology is expected to serve as a foundation for developing ...
Phys.org / Spain safari park animals grazed calmly amid 'terror' of fire
The bison carried on grazing peacefully as the flames approached, imperturbable despite the fires ravaging the land around their wildlife park west of Madrid.
Phys.org / Biofilm clue opens route to anti-infection treatments of the future
A multidisciplinary study has uncovered a critical component in the formation of biofilms, the complex structures used by bacteria to colonize surfaces. The research may have implications for future infection treatments, ...
Phys.org / Shipwreck cargo reveals surprising global trade secrets of the 1600s
Using cargo recovered from one of Australia's most infamous shipwrecks, new Curtin University-led research has revealed how surprisingly sophisticated global supply chains helped source and transport construction materials ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized care could help more women achieve their breastfeeding goals, new research finds
Breastfeeding support should move beyond simply encouraging women to breastfeed and instead focus on providing personalized, compassionate and culturally sensitive care, according to new research published in Women and Birth ...
Phys.org / Lake ice loss could accelerate after winter temperatures cross critical thresholds
For lakes across the Northern Hemisphere, winter ice is more than a frozen surface. It is a seasonal regulator that shapes underwater ecosystems and energy balance. But as the planet warms, this frozen season is disappearing ...
Medical Xpress / People with frailty explain what they really want from digital health tools

Phys.org / Two attosecond flashes capture electrons in motion
Electronic motion sets the stage for virtually every light-induced process in nature, from the first step of a chemical reaction to the flow of charge in a solid. Yet these processes unfold so rapidly that they can be observed ...
Phys.org / Deformed head shapes in fossilized humans show their infants were probably just as helpless as modern human babies
Archaic human parents had to look after helpless infants like modern-day parents do, according to new research. Human babies are born less developed than those of other great apes and are therefore unable to move as freely. ...
Tech Xplore / Standardized battery database could improve AI-guided solid-state battery design
Thousands of peer-reviewed papers on battery devices are published each year. Despite this rapid growth, the data contained within these publications are often reported in different formats and with varying levels of detail ...
