Phys.org / Boiling oceans may lurk beneath the ice of solar system's smallest moons
The outer planets of the solar system are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky core and could be the best ...
Phys.org / Urban fringe areas show great potential for forest restoration
A study conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) by researchers from the Nucleus of Analysis and Synthesis of Nature-Based Solutions (BIOTA Synthesis), a FAPESP Science Center for Development (SCD), identified approximately ...
Medical Xpress / AI tops density in predicting breast cancer risk
An image-only artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting the five-year risk of breast cancer provided stronger and more precise risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a study presented at ...
Medical Xpress / Lower limb morphology in endurance runners reveals a human advantage
Humans are among the most capable long-distance runners in the animal kingdom. However, body shape and composition vary individually, reflecting adaptations to common movement patterns. In running, the extended lower limb ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests that many older women use sex toys to promote orgasm, which may promote positive health outcomes
Although research on sexuality in older adults has been growing in recent years, most of the studies are focused on partnered sexual activity and not on solo sexual behavior, including masturbation or the use of sex toys.
Medical Xpress / Genetic study links impulsive decision making to a wide range of health and psychiatric risks
Researchers from University of California San Diego have identified 11 genetic regions linked to delay discounting—the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones—shedding new light on how ...
Phys.org / Urban natives: Plants evolve to live in cities
While urbanization has restricted and fragmented the natural ecosystems, it also creates new and diverse environmental conditions within towns.
Medical Xpress / Calcium-sensitive switch boosts the efficacy of cancer drugs
Cancer-fighting antibody drugs are designed to penetrate tumor cells and release a lethal payload deep within, but too often they don't make it that far. A new study shows how this Trojan Horse strategy works better by exploiting ...
Phys.org / Kilauea displays lava fountains for the 37th time since its eruption began last year
The on-and-off eruption that's been dazzling residents and visitors on Hawaii's Big Island for nearly a year resumed Tuesday as Kilauea volcano sent fountains of lava soaring 400 feet (122 meters) into the air.
Medical Xpress / Shapeshifting tumors unmasked: New insights into master regulators reveal therapeutic vulnerabilities
Some tumors are almost impossible to treat. That's especially true for carcinomas, which don't behave like other malignancies. Some of these tumors act as shapeshifters and start to resemble cells from other organs of the ...
Medical Xpress / One in two people in the US is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, analysis shows
One in two people in the United States, just over half of the population, is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, according to a new systematic analysis by the American Academy of Neurology and the Institute for ...
Phys.org / Tectonic regimes of terrestrial planets could explain Earth and Venus's divergence
An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets. Using advanced numerical models, the team systematically classified for the first time six distinct ...
