Phys.org / Topical clove oil for canine sarcoptic mange promises faster, plant-based treatment
Canine sarcoptic mange (scabies) is a skin condition in which microscopic mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) infest dogs' skin. The condition is contagious and zoonotic and can be difficult to detect. If left untreated, it can cause ...
Phys.org / Anomalous quantum oscillations reveal new physics in a topological insulator
A study has been published in Nature Communications that identifies an unusual regime of quantum oscillations in a three-dimensional topological insulator. The results show that, when subjected to temperatures near absolute ...
Phys.org / Caregivers are active agents in their infants' learning, but interactions differ across cultures
A baby sits on the floor and reaches toward a red ball on the floor and grunts. The mother responds, "Do you see the ball?" She picks it up, holds it in front of the baby and says, "Do you want to hold the ball?" The baby ...
Medical Xpress / Pilots, flight attendants have greater risk of radiation-related cancer death than other professions
Of more than 500 occupations in the United States, flight attendants and pilots have the highest and second-highest proportions of radiation-related cancer deaths, a new study has found.
Tech Xplore / Engineers make edge AI more efficient by redesigning both algorithm and hardware
Researchers in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated that redesigning both hardware and algorithms can make AI applications on edge devices more efficient. As proof ...
Medical Xpress / Huntington's disease discovery opens door to a new class of treatments
New treatments for Huntington's disease could be on the horizon following research led by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Phys.org / It's not just flowers that help the pollinators. Grass can too.
Bees may be relying on your lawn for their next meal, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
Phys.org / Turtle travels: Researchers uncover different migration strategies among male green sea turtles
Florida State University researchers studying male green sea turtles off the coast of Brazil have discovered two distinct migration strategies, with some turtles traveling up to 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) after breeding ...
Phys.org / Aerial imagery maps hurricane wind damage and shows stronger building codes work
Massive storms like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which caused more than $100 billion in damage, were once considered lifetime events. Increasingly, however, they are becoming the norm: a direct result of climate change, which ...
Tech Xplore / When 242 pipes stand between a county and its emergency room
People rarely think about culverts until they are gone. These plain pipes and boxes carry roads over streams and span less than 20 feet—the federal cutoff for what counts as a bridge. That means road-stream crossings stay ...
Phys.org / TikTok video leads to discovery of rare underground eel in India
Researchers have discovered a new genus and species of underground earthworm eel living beneath the Indo-Gangetic Plain in Bihar, northern India. The small, colorless creature, named Gangaichthys indonepalicus, is the first ...
Phys.org / 'Ecological engineers' an existential threat to wildlife of iconic wetland
A study examining how feral water buffalo interact with landscapes has uncovered the pest's disastrous impacts on northern long-necked turtles in the Top End's tropical wetlands.
