Phys.org / A near extinct plant in Galápagos is now recovering
A 30-year conservation effort has helped the critically endangered Galápagos snapdragon (Galvezia leucantha subsp. leucantha) recover from just six individuals to a small, carefully tended wild population. Following tireless ...
Medical Xpress / Stress gene 'stuck on' in the brains of people with schizophrenia, study finds
Experts at the University of Sydney have found that a gene involved in regulating the body's response to stress switches on more easily in the brains of people who live with schizophrenia.
Medical Xpress / Hidden hormone spikes may reveal high blood pressure condition
A common but often overlooked cause of high blood pressure may be hiding in plain sight—and data from a pioneering wearable device could hold the key to its earlier diagnosis, according to new research.
Phys.org / LLM-based platform for generating new materials synthesis recipes dramatically cuts trial and error
A research team led by Professor Sung Beom Cho of the School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with the teams of Professors Jin Sung Park and Hyunsouk Cho of ...
Phys.org / Short, intense storms gain intensity across Hawaiʻi
While long-term data show that Hawaiʻi is getting drier overall, short, intense downpours that cause sudden, dangerous flash floods are getting stronger on the islands, according to a new study by researchers at the University ...
Phys.org / A museum-shelf mystery reveals 6,500-year-old human tooth pendant in Serbia
More than 6,500 years ago, someone carefully drilled a hole in a human tooth, strung it on a cord and likely used it as a necklace. Found during field surveys at the Vinča cultural site of Jablanica in Serbia, the human tooth ...
Phys.org / Mystery statue unearthed at Sardis archaeological dig
Researchers with the long-running Harvard–Cornell Archaeological Exploration of Sardis have unearthed a larger-than-life statue estimated to be nearly 2,500 years old.
Phys.org / Cow gut enzyme could help target bacterial biofilms and antibiotic-resistant infections
The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii poses a substantial threat in health care settings, readily forming biofilms on wounds and medical surfaces and contributing to persistent infections and delayed healing. Its growing ...
Phys.org / Climate change exposes up to 560 million children globally to at least one additional month of dangerous heat per year
New research by Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) shows that globally, up to 560 million children ages 0–9 (43% of all children in this age group) experience at least one additional month (30 or more days) of heat stress per ...
Phys.org / Fossil-fuel carbon fingerprint reaches the deep North Atlantic
The use of fossil fuels alters both the concentration and the carbon isotope composition of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since surface water exchanges carbon dioxide with the atmosphere, this also alters the isotopic ...
Phys.org / After 80 years, elusive molecules reveal how ozone starts turning plant emissions into haze
Scientists have directly observed a fleeting chemical reaction that creates a key ingredient in urban smog. The research offers insight into the earliest stages of pollution formation and could help improve air quality forecasting ...
Phys.org / For Legionella bacteria, taking over a cell means playing by its rules
When it comes to invading healthy cells, Legionella bacteria rely on blending in rather than breaking in. New research from Van Andel Institute scientists demonstrates how a protein produced by Legionella mimics the behavior ...
