Phys.org / Evidence of rain-driven climate on Mars found in bleached rocks scattered in Jezero crater
Rocks that stood out as light-colored dots on the reddish-orange surface of Mars now are the latest evidence that areas of the small planet may have once supported wet oases with humid climates and heavy rainfall comparable ...
Medical Xpress / Single dose RSV vaccine protection found to wane over 18 months
Research led by the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System in Portland, Oregon, found that a single dose of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine reduced RSV infections and RSV-related emergency visits, hospitalizations, ...
Phys.org / Are university policies holding science back? Study shows how patenting boosts pure research
When UC Berkeley biochemist Jennifer Doudna first began studying how bacteria fight virus infections, she had no idea it would result in one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the century. Her curiosity-driven ...
Phys.org / Do super-Jupiters look like Jupiter? Not necessarily, study shows
Using images from the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), an international research team including Western's Stanimir Metchev has discovered new answers to explain how some brown dwarfs form giant dust storms, contradicting ...
Phys.org / Spain deploys army after African swine fever outbreak
Spain on Monday deployed more than 100 troops to help contain an outbreak of African swine fever outside Barcelona that has sparked fears for the country's powerful pork export industry.
Phys.org / Scientists can finally answer an old question about cellular aging
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective caps at the chromosome ends—those caps eventually become too short to prevent chromosome ends ...
Medical Xpress / Drug that costs as little as 50 cents per day could save hospitals thousands
A study led by McMaster University researchers shows that a widely available and inexpensive medication not only prevents potentially serious stomach bleeding in critically ill patients, but also saves hospitals thousands ...
Phys.org / Extensive hydrothermal vent field discovered off Milos reveals tectonic influence
A new study published in Scientific Reports reports the discovery of a remarkably extensive hydrothermal vent field on the shelf of Milos Island, Greece. The vents were identified during the METEOR expedition M192, where ...
Medical Xpress / Switching risk and protective alleles improves Alzheimer's-disease-like signatures and disruptions in mice
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degradation of brain cells, as well as an associated decline in memory and other mental functions. Earlier research found that different ...
Tech Xplore / 'Rock candy' technique offers simpler, less costly way to capture carbon directly from air
University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that could offer significant cost savings over current methods.
Phys.org / A new possibility for life: Study suggests ancient skies rained down ingredients
Earth's atmosphere might have contributed to the origin of life more than previously thought. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, CU Boulder researchers and collaborators reveal that ...
Phys.org / The mystery of the missing deep ocean carbon fixers
In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is "fixed" in the sunless ocean depths. ...
