Medical Xpress / Global atlas uncovers 55,000 RNA viruses across nearly 100 cities
Scientists can't prepare for future viral threats if they don't know what's already in the environment. That's the idea behind an international research project involving the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School ...
Phys.org / Why climate-driven droughts and floods rarely become international news
Three factors—spectacular images, a high death toll and strong personal ties—make it more likely that the media in one country will report on a natural disaster in another, according to a study by the University of Bonn, ...
Medical Xpress / How old are you really? Study explains what makes 'epigenetic clocks' tick, debuts new prediction tools
What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how the body's cellular function changes at a faster or slower rate than expected. However, the underlying ...
Phys.org / Four hazards converge in East Portland, where underinvestment deepens vulnerability
When it comes to compounding natural hazards like landslides, wildfires, flooding and extreme heat, where you live makes all the difference. New research from Portland State University underscores this disproportionate reality, ...
Medical Xpress / Most UK adults track health themselves, yet unequal access could widen care gaps
Most people in the UK already monitor their own health and well-being, and an overwhelming majority would be happy to do more if advised by the NHS, according to a new University of Manchester–led study.
Phys.org / Arctic balloon samples trace marine sugars from the ocean to cloud-forming heights
Salt and sugar from the sea can rise as far as the free troposphere, thereby influencing both cloud formation and the Arctic climate. This is the finding of balloon measurements carried out by a team of researchers on Spitsbergen ...
Phys.org / EU cities plan to compensate for a fifth of their emissions through carbon removal, but few have thought through how
An analysis of 103 European cities' climate-neutral plans for 2030 (including 22 capital cities) shows that municipalities are planning to rely on carbon removal to compensate for about a fifth of their emissions. This would ...
Medical Xpress / Late-stage parasite blockers could turn mosquito bites into malaria vaccine boosters
Researchers from WEHI (Melbourne, Australia) have discovered a new way to help prevent malaria that could one day transform mosquito bites from a source of deadly infection into immunity boosters against the disease.
Phys.org / Doomscrolling at work wastes time, but the real cost is what happens after
Whether on lunch break or on the clock, many employees scroll through the news and social media during the workday. Researchers found that employees who "doomscroll" at work suffer hidden costs that extend beyond lost productivity.
Medical Xpress / Cell 'invisibility cloaks' could offer side-effect-free diabetes treatment
Outfitting cells in "invisibility cloaks" may offer an easier, less damaging treatment pathway for people with diabetes undergoing cell therapy, according to researchers at Penn State.
Medical Xpress / Organs age at different speeds: A blood test might soon tell which ones
AI-based "tissue clocks" can estimate the biological age of human organs from histological images, researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Ludwig Boltzmann ...
Phys.org / Pacific farmers are reviving traditional knowledge to tackle a changing climate
For thousands of years, farmers in the Pacific have lived in harmony with their environment. But rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall and tired soils are testing even the most experienced hands.
