Medical Xpress / Body image issues in adolescence are linked to depression in adulthood, twin study finds
Teenagers who are unhappy with their bodies are more likely to develop symptoms of eating disorders and depression in early adulthood, according to a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers.
Phys.org / New study reveals Industrial Revolution's uneven health impacts across England
An interdisciplinary team of scientists has uncovered new evidence showing that the health impacts of the Industrial Revolution varied more widely across England than previously believed.
Phys.org / The solution to finding an atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1 e
The hunt is on for terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones, and some of the most promising candidates were discovered almost a decade ago about 40 light-years from Earth. The TRAPPIST-1 system contains seven terrestrial ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon nanotubes could power a new generation of flexible solar panels
Perovskite solar cells can be made not only more robust but also more efficient, scalable and cheaper to manufacture by replacing the indium tin oxide (ITO) in the device, according to research led by the University of Surrey. ...
Phys.org / More yield through heterosis: Researchers decode gene interaction behind hybrid vigor
When two homozygous plant lines with different characteristics are crossed, the resulting offspring are often more robust and productive than their parents. This phenomenon is called heterosis. It can be caused by positive ...
Phys.org / ALICE solves mystery of light-nuclei survival
Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.
Phys.org / An old jeweler's trick could unlock next-generation nuclear clocks
In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this longstanding goal by bombarding ...
Tech Xplore / Safe and affordable fast-charging batteries: Multilayered alkali metal structures open the door to energy of the future
Skoltech scientists conducted a study that advances research on future batteries. Their paper, published in Small, sheds light on recent advances in designing multilayered structures of alkali metals, such as lithium, sodium, ...
Phys.org / 'Artificial intelligence' myths have existed for centuries—from the ancient Greeks to a Pope's chatbot
It seems the AI hype has turned into an AI bubble. There have been many bubbles before, from the Tulip mania of the 17th century to the derivatives bubble of the 21st century. For many commentators, the most relevant precedent ...
Phys.org / Study suggests Earth's inner core may have onion-like layered structure
An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior of earthquake waves, in Earth's inner core.
Phys.org / Managing conflict between baboons and people: What's worked, and what hasn't
Conflict between humans and baboons can tear communities apart. Shirley C. Strum has studied wild olive baboons in Kenya for more than 50 years. In that time she's come to understand the species intimately. In this article ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke lofted into atmosphere could affect Earth's climate
Some wildfires are so intense, they create their own weather—thunderstorms driven by heat that hurtle smoke as high as 10 miles into the sky like giant chimneys.
