Phys.org / 3D mapping of fault beneath Marmara Sea reveals likely sites for future earthquakes
According to researchers from Science Tokyo, a new three-dimensional model of the fault beneath the Marmara Sea in Turkey reveals where a future major earthquake could take place. Using electromagnetic measurements, the team ...
Phys.org / Calm seas can drive coral bleaching, research reveals
New research by Monash University and the ARC Center of Excellence for the Weather of the 21st Century analyzed close to three decades of weather data during the coral bleaching season and identified the prevalence of "doldrum ...
Phys.org / Jupiter's hidden depths: Simulation suggests planet holds 1.5 times more oxygen than the sun
Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly what lies beneath.
Medical Xpress / Small molecules could treat Crohn's disease by mimicking a protective gene variant
An estimated 3 million Americans have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. But a lucky few individuals are far less likely to develop IBD because they have a rare variant of a ...
Phys.org / Seychelles leads the way in the protection of sharks and rays, finds study
A new study published in Ecology and Evolution has evaluated the extent to which recently identified Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) in the Western Indian Ocean overlap with existing marine protected areas.
Phys.org / Deep reading can boost your critical thinking and help you resist misinformation—here's how to build the skill
The average American checks their phone over 140 times a day, clocking an average of 4.5 hours of daily use, with 57% of people admitting they're "addicted" to their phone. Tech companies, influencers and other content creators ...
Phys.org / Stealth quantum sensors unlock possibilities anywhere GPS doesn't work
As commercial interest in quantum technologies accelerates, entrepreneurial minds at the University of Waterloo are not waiting for opportunities—they are creating them.
Phys.org / Walking sharks break biology reproduction rules
New research from James Cook University has made the extraordinary discovery that epaulette sharks can reproduce and lay eggs without any measurable rise in energy use.
Medical Xpress / 'Revoice' device gives stroke patients their voice back
Researchers have developed a wearable, comfortable and washable device called Revoice that could help people regain the ability to communicate naturally and fluently following a stroke, without the need for invasive brain ...
Phys.org / Two harmful gene variants can restore function when combined, study reveals
Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old hypothesis originally ...
Phys.org / Horses can smell human fear when we sweat
Horses can smell your fear. If you are experiencing this emotion while standing near a horse, they will be able to detect it through your scent alone, which changes their behavior and physiology. That's the conclusion of ...
Phys.org / Denitrification looks different in rivers versus streams
Human activities add large quantities of nitrogen to the environment, much of which gets washed into streams and rivers. These waterways transport some of that nitrogen to the oceans, but they also remove a significant portion ...
