Medical Xpress / Low-dose omega-3 intake does not raise atrial fibrillation risk, study finds
A new meta-analysis led by researchers from the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) provides the clearest picture to date of the relationship between omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and atrial fibrillation (AF), helping ...
Phys.org / Discarded rice husks capture toxic dyes, offering a reusable water filter
Rice is the most-eaten food on the planet, and its discarded outer husk results in some 300 billion pounds of waste per year. FIU chemistry researcher Islam Ibrahim Hussein says the inedible castoffs could be the key to cleaner ...
Medical Xpress / Your personality changes more across your life than you think, according to new study
Personality traits have long been seen as set in stone, with many believing they stop changing once we reach adulthood. A recent study, however, challenges this long-held belief, suggesting that personality changes far more ...
Phys.org / Metal deposits reveal how ice ages reshaped oxygen levels across Earth's oceans
Earth's oceans repeatedly lost oxygen and produced metal deposits during the planet's deepest ice ages. An international team of researchers analyzed manganese and other chemical signatures preserved in more than 27,000 ancient ...
Phys.org / Light controls nanoscale 'bubble' domains in a ferroelectric crystal
Researchers at Flinders University have discovered an unexpected way light can control tiny electronic structures inside advanced materials, a development that could help pave the way for more energy-efficient memory devices, ...
Phys.org / Key photocatalyst technology for converting greenhouse gases into future fuels
A joint research team led by Professor Su-Il In of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST and Professor William A. Goddard III of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has significantly improved ...
Phys.org / Brittany burial mounds may hide human-shaped stones as Coëby cemetery mystery deepens
For archaeologists, the Coëby cemetery in Brittany, France, is a gold mine for research. It contains several prehistoric stone monuments and earth mounds. In a new study of two unusually large mounds, scientists may have ...
