Medical Xpress / Research confirms safety in voluntary assisted dying
New research demonstrates that the Victorian model for oral self-administration of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) medication is safe and effective, providing the largest global experience of patient outcomes.
Phys.org / Astronomers may have caught an early galaxy in the process of dying
Astronomers have spotted many "red and dead" galaxies in the early universe. These are massive systems that stopped forming stars surprisingly early in cosmic history. Now, they may have found evidence of one in the act of ...
Medical Xpress / Health care spending gap between high- and low-income Americans continues to widen, study finds
A new study led by a University of Chicago researcher finds that health care spending in the United States has increasingly diverged between high- and low-income Americans over the past two decades. The analysis shows that ...
Phys.org / H5 bird flu detected in Australian seabird for first time
Scientists have detected the highly contagious H5 bird flu in an Australian seabird for the first time, the government said Friday.
Phys.org / Steering light in a flash: New chip redirects light beams in less than a trillionth of a second
Light can carry enormous amounts of information at extreme speeds, making photonic technologies promising for the development of faster communications, more powerful computing systems and more sensitive sensors. But for light ...
Phys.org / Understanding anti-blackness at Hispanic-serving research universities
At Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), conversations about diversity often center on supporting Hispanic/Latine students. New research from scholars at University of New Mexico highlights an important and sometimes overlooked ...
Phys.org / Researchers break a fundamental rule to create a new concept: Heat that can be directed and 'programmed'
Normally, a material absorbs and emits heat in a linked way: A surface that absorbs heat well at a certain wavelength and direction will also emit heat in the same way. This fundamental relationship, known as reciprocity, ...
Phys.org / Satellites are transforming biodiversity monitoring for global nature targets, but major gaps remain
A new scientific review outlines how satellites and other remote sensing technologies are increasingly shaping how biodiversity and ecosystem health can be monitored at scale—offering new opportunities for countries reporting ...
Phys.org / Study questions growing international trade in critically endangered sand tiger sharks
In a new study led by University of Delaware researchers Aaron Carlisle and Ed Hale, researchers point to concerns in the international trade of sand tiger sharks, a critically endangered shark species globally, for display ...
Phys.org / Maize-fed animals may have helped Maya farmers solve corn's protein deficiency
Maize (corn) is a major dietary staple in Maya communities past and present because of its reliability, potential for surplus, and suitability as both food and fodder. It became so important to ancient Mesoamerican communities ...
Phys.org / Quantum computers model nine fusion fuel material configurations for first time
A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM has calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy—the first known instance of such computations ...
Phys.org / A young gull's mottled brown plumage acts as a 'not a threat' signal to territorial adults
Birds are known for their distinctive plumage that helps them attract mates during the breeding season. For some birds, the path to adulthood is quite linear. One day they are chicks, and a few months later they are fully ...
