Phys.org / A crisis emerges across the US as 'forever chemicals' quietly contaminate drinking water wells
Kristen Hanneman made a small decision in 2022 that would upend life for her entire town.
Medical Xpress / Study tracks 2,539 teens: Most IBS symptoms ease by age 24
Two out of three adolescents with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) start adulthood without the disease, according to a long-term study that followed more than 2,500 individuals. The researchers also note that several factors ...
Tech Xplore / Multi-layer flax fiber fabric developed for alternative seating furniture with flexible geometries
Seating furniture is frequently not designed for long-term use or simple assembly and disassembly and has a tendency to break after just one move. This does not apply to the benches, chairs, and stools that were created as ...
Phys.org / Lab study suggests longer waves fracture floating ice sheets at lower stress
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when they will occur could help ...
Medical Xpress / MET signaling's protective role shows promise for treating acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure
A new study has found that MET (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) signaling plays a critical protective role in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (ALF). This pathway is shown to work as a dual-action mechanism that ...
Phys.org / NASA begins a practice countdown for its first moonshot with astronauts in more than 50 years
NASA began a two-day practice countdown Saturday leading up to the fueling of its new moon rocket, a crucial test that will determine when four astronauts blast off on a lunar flyby.
Tech Xplore / New steel processing technique extends EV range without increasing battery capacity
A research team affiliated with UNIST unveiled a new steel manufacturing process that can improve the driving distance of electric vehicles (EVs) without the need for larger batteries. This technology offers a promising way ...
Dialog / Can front-of-pack labels ease hospital strain? A Canadian blueprint as the U.S. considers FDA's Nutrition Info box
Hospital beds are a brutally concrete resource. When they're full, surgeries get delayed, hallways become overflow wards, and staff burn out. So a question I keep coming back to is simple: can the way we label food, those ...
Phys.org / Spider spinneret evolution: How a genome duplication event 438 million years ago set the stage
Scientists have uncovered a 400-million-year-old genetic secret that gave spiders the ability to produce silk and weave their webs. Spiders didn't begin their journey on Earth in the same way as they are known today. Arthropods ...
Phys.org / Designing the future of metabolic health through tissue-selective drug delivery
New treatments based on biological molecules like RNA give scientists unprecedented control over how cells function. But delivering those drugs to the right tissues remains one of the biggest obstacles to turning these promising ...
Phys.org / How AI and new sensing tools are reshaping collective animal behavior research
A perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modeling are transforming the study of collective animal behavior, with implications reaching far beyond biology, ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals better hearing with cochlear implants leads to increased music listening time
A new study examining music habits among cochlear implant users has found that better hearing ability with the implant—as measured by standard speech tests—significantly correlates with increased time spent listening ...
