Phys.org / How economic growth in low-income countries can also protect biodiversity
For decades, environmental debates have been framed around a stark trade-off: economic growth lifts people out of poverty but comes at the expense of forests, wildlife, and climate stability. More people and richer diets ...
Medical Xpress / Sudden cardiac arrest: Genetic cause more common in younger people than in older people
Younger people who experience sudden cardiac arrest are more likely to have a genetic cause than older people who experience it, according to the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai. The study, published in JACC: Clinical ...
Phys.org / Space storms light up Japan's sky with red auroras climbing far higher than expected
On a special night, if you are lucky, you might catch a faint red glow quietly lighting up Japan's sky, stretching low along the horizon and easy to miss if you are not looking carefully. Subtle and diffuse, it probably appears ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers discover novel IT attacks—the defense mechanism is already operational
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Information Security have developed a new security standard to counter a novel form of cyberattack—one they had previously identified themselves. The attacks specifically ...
Medical Xpress / Oral drug proves highly effective against chemotherapy-related low platelets in GI cancer trial
An oral medication already approved for thrombocytopenia in patients with liver disease significantly improved platelet recovery and helped patients with gastrointestinal cancers maintain platelet counts needed to continue ...
Phys.org / Polarized elections do not erode support for the basic principles of democracy, study suggests
The health of liberal democracies has been the focus of interest for political science for some time, against a global backdrop marked by the rise of political polarization and tense incidents like those that took place in ...
Phys.org / Physicists create hybrid light-matter particles that interact strongly enough to compute
Eighty years ago, Penn researchers J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly launched the age of electronic computing by harnessing electrons to solve complex numerical problems with ENIAC, the world's first general-purpose electronic ...
Phys.org / Digital finance tools could transform small businesses
