Phys.org / Students run 'bee hotels' across Canada—DNA reveals who's checking in
Can students be on the front lines of conservation? A new Canada-wide study, published in Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, suggests they can. The efforts of some 5,000 students produced data detailed enough to reveal complex ...
Phys.org / Germany's coastal regions brace for change, fearing rising sea levels
Standing on the coast and looking out to sea, you cannot detect the changes with the naked eye. But in northern Germany, sea levels are rising, as is the risk of flooding for the lower-lying coastal regions.
Medical Xpress / Recurrent prostate cancer: Two treatment strategies with uncertain outcomes compared
Imperial College London investigators compared focal therapy with prostate removal surgery for men with prostate cancer that returned after radiotherapy. Matched analyses estimated 10-year cancer-specific survival at 92% ...
Phys.org / Trauma follows children into the classroom—a new teaching model is changing that
Traumatic experiences can have ripple effects that permeate across many aspects of people's lives. For students, adverse childhood experiences have been shown to impact attention, memory, language development and relational ...
Phys.org / Proton's width measured to unparalleled precision, narrowing the path to new physics
Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a previously unexplored energy-level transition in the hydrogen atom, Lothar Maisenbacher and colleagues ...
Phys.org / A super stable laser on the moon could guide future lunar missions and improve our timekeeping
Scientists are proposing to build a laser in a crater on the moon to help future lunar missions land safely in the dark and find their way around. This ultra-stable light source could also help us keep time more accurately, ...
Phys.org / Australian sea lion pups learn diving and foraging skills from their mothers
Research from Adelaide University and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) has shown for the first time that Australian sea lion pups can learn foraging behavior from their mothers. Social information ...
Phys.org / AI system TongGeometry generates and solves olympiad-level geometry problems
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems. Geometry problems from ...
Phys.org / Warming Antarctic waters come with a cost for the 'robust' rockcod
About 10 million years ago, Antarctica's Southern Ocean started to get so cold that it scared away most fish in the region. Among the fish that stayed were what are now known as black rockcod, part of a famously sturdy family ...
Medical Xpress / Why nighttime heat drives a surge in suicide-related calls to crisis lines in Louisiana
Extreme heat poses serious risks to physical health but can also trigger a mental health emergency for some people. While the link between heat and suicide is well-documented, the specific stressors that drive someone to ...
Phys.org / Building beneath the sea—ecology and architecture unite for corals
Just like a human newborn, coral larvae need just the right environment to settle and begin their new life. Understanding the ideal surface geometry for coral settlement and early growth was the shared goal of a new research ...
Medical Xpress / Women may face heart events at lower plaque levels than men, study finds
Less artery-clogging plaque in women's arteries did not appear to protect them from heart disease compared to men, according to a study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. While heart disease is the leading ...
