Phys.org / Australia's carbon markets risk penalizing Indigenous stewardship
Carbon markets rewarding the recovery of degraded environments risk penalizing long-term Indigenous stewardship, according to a coalition of experts writing in Nature Climate Change. The article by RMIT University environmental ...
Medical Xpress / No more weekly injections? How lettuce cells could deliver GLP-1 pills
Research led by Penn Dental's Henry Daniell investigates the use of a lettuce-based, plant-encapsulated delivery platform as a new oral delivery of two GLP-1 drugs previously approved by the FDA in injectable form.
Medical Xpress / Tau tangles may hijack brain's energy, linking early sleep loss to Alzheimer's changes
Scientists at the University of Kentucky have uncovered a new reason why people with Alzheimer's disease often struggle with sleep, long before memory loss begins. The study, led by researchers at the Sanders-Brown Center ...
Phys.org / Forget flatfooted lumbering T. rex. New research shows it walked on tiptoes
Powerful, fierce and the king of the Cretaceous world, Tyrannosaurus rex was the ultimate apex predator. But it was also surprisingly dainty on its feet, according to new research. Findings published in the journal Royal ...
Phys.org / STEM stereotypes begin young, study shows
Children as young as seven begin to internalize stereotypes about who is more or less likely to pursue occupations related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)—beliefs that may influence career choices ...
Phys.org / Preparing students to deal with 'reality shock' in the workplace
A new study from Hiroshima University shows that, among university students just entering the workforce, those with optimism about the future better manage "reality shock" through formation of a career-related identity.
Phys.org / Asteroid Ryugu samples offer new insights into early solar system magnetism
To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread magnetic field of the ...
Tech Xplore / Power outages cost US electricity customers billions
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have provided the first comprehensive analysis of the specific costs of power outages to local customers across the nation. It found that the average ...
Phys.org / Self-propelling microbes switch up swimming strategy to optimize light intake
Researchers in Hong Kong and the UK have revealed how one species of self-propelling microbes can actively change the path of their swimming motions, depending on how much light they receive. Reporting in Physical Review ...
Phys.org / Rainfall can shape bird populations as much as temperature, global study reveals
Scientists have long focused on rising temperatures to understand how climate change is reshaping the natural world. But there's a critical blind spot in that picture: rain. A new global study reveals precipitation has been ...
Phys.org / Intermediate phases unlock faster nanoparticle crystallization
Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies such as data storage and optical devices. But forming nanoparticles from those orderly crystals is ...
Phys.org / Tiny flows, big insights: Microfluidics system boosts super-resolution microscopy
Understanding how cells are organized and how their molecular components interact in a coordinated and cooperative manner is a central goal of modern life sciences. To answer these questions, researchers need to observe many ...
