Phys.org / Dangerous livestock pest case confirmed in Texas
The United States said on Thursday that the New World screwworm (NWS) fly, a dangerous livestock pest whose flesh-eating larvae can kill cattle, has been detected in a calf in south Texas.
Phys.org / Atomic reshuffle leads to record-breaking catalysts for hydrogen production
Researchers have discovered that atoms can be mixed, separated, and recombined within the same experiment, providing a pathway to a record-breaking catalyst for green hydrogen production. In their study, the team created ...
Phys.org / Chip-scale 'acoustic atom' controls sound waves to imitate atomic energy levels and advance computing
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What goes up must come down. Physical laws like these govern all of the natural world—except for the tiny internal components of today's microprocessors, which operate ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer researchers present advances and emerging treatments
Cancer researchers highlighted several treatment breakthroughs during their annual summit in Chicago that concluded Tuesday, including preliminary but encouraging data on potential benefits of weight loss medications.
Science X / When Earth went dark after Chicxulub, tiny ocean dwellers held the secret to survival
When a 10-kilometer asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, the planet was plunged into darkness—and about 75% of species vanished, including marine life. Now, a new study reveals that the planetary effects from the impact ...
Phys.org / Preparing future math teachers to teach data science
When Eric Weber, professor and chair of mathematics at Iowa State University, talks about data science with future math teachers, he doesn't begin with code, algorithms, or buzzwords. Instead, he asks them to imagine the ...
Phys.org / Atlantic 'cold blob' may be reshaping Indian monsoon, steering rain northwest
The Indian monsoon has shifted over the past quarter century. Northwest India now receives substantially more rain than it once did, while a lack of rain sends the Indo-Gangetic Plain toward drought.
Medical Xpress / Largest study of knee osteoarthritis tissue reveals core biological pathways underlying the disease
A major international study led by researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford has found that osteoarthritis (OA)—the most common form of arthritis worldwide—is not a collection of separate ...
Medical Xpress / New medium offers faster, cheaper drug-resistance detection
A critical problem in treating Clostridioides difficile infections is the possibility that the pathogen develops resistance to fidaxomicin, an antibiotic often prescribed as a first-line treatment. But current methods used ...
Tech Xplore / Next-generation computing relies on extremely thin semiconductors—now there's a better way to make them
The ability to develop extremely thin semiconductors is key to advancing the fields of electronics and computing. But so far, there's been a trade-off between the quality of these semiconductors and the ability to make them ...
Medical Xpress / New study urges earlier detection of Valley Fever as cases climb
A new study published in The Journal for Nurse Practitioners calls for a shift in how Valley fever is recognized and treated, warning that delayed diagnosis continues to prolong illness, drive unnecessary treatment and contribute ...
