Phys.org / Island life 200 million years ago: Ancient neptunian dike reveals rare mixed marine and terrestrial fossil assemblage
Two Paleontology and Evolution students from the University of Bristol have undertaken the first ever study which describes the incredible range of fossils which were sucked into a neptunian dike, a deep, fissure-like cave ...
Medical Xpress / Children exposed to higher ozone levels early in life are more likely to develop asthma, study suggests
Asthma affects more than 6% of U.S. children, making it the most common chronic disease in kids nationwide. It's difficult to isolate any single cause, but one of the most common contributors is air pollution: Studies have ...
Phys.org / Rural manufacturing exports linked to innovation
While rural areas are more dependent on manufacturing than their urban peers, they are less likely to participate in global markets. Researchers at Penn State have identified several factors that explain why, with differences ...
Phys.org / Tomato plants delay shoot meristem maturation to achieve heat-stress resilience
As global temperatures continue to rise, extreme heat waves pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity. Studies estimate that for every 1°C increase above pre-industrial levels, crop yields decline by approximately ...
Medical Xpress / World's smallest light-activated pacemaker can be inserted with a syringe, then dissolves after it's no longer needed
Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body.
Phys.org / Study uncovers mercury treatment in 19th-century French child suffering from rickets and scurvy
A recent study, published in the International Journal of Paleopathology, examined the skeletal remains of a child who lived in mid-19th-century France. The study revealed that the child had suffered from rickets and scurvy ...
Medical Xpress / Smart skin sensor offers real-time infection detection
An international team led by researchers from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) has developed an innovative piece of equipment in the field of medical technology: an intelligent device capable of monitoring the temperature ...
Phys.org / Collective synchronized magnetic oscillations enable micropillar arrays to manipulate fluids and act as soft robots
Researchers from Hanyang University have developed an innovative micropillar array capable of collective and rapid magnetic oscillations, demonstrating strong potential for advanced applications in robotics, fluid transport, ...

Sit down, relax and get your nails done at the sustainability salon. In a new study, a team of researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder's ATLAS Institute has designed a new kind of press-on nails that are biodegradable, ...
Phys.org / Feeling FOMO for something that's not even fun? It's not the event you're missing, it's the bonding
Imagine you've planned the trip of a lifetime for your animal-loving family: a cruise to Antarctica with the unique opportunity to view penguins, whales and other rare wildlife. Your adventure-loving kids can kayak through ...
Phys.org / Most Christian religious leaders accept the reality of climate change but have never mentioned it to their congregations
Nearly 90% of U.S. Christian religious leaders believe humans are driving climate change. When churchgoers learn how widespread this belief is, they report taking steps to reduce its effects, as we found in our research published ...
Phys.org / Acoustic thermometry offers rapid, accurate high-altitude temperature readings
A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved real-time atmospheric temperature measurements at altitudes of up to 5,200 meters using a new acoustic thermometer ...
