Medical Xpress / Berberine and leaky gut: Research explains persistent gut issues following intestinal infections
We often treat intestinal infections as an episode: a few days of symptoms, elimination of the pathogen, and recovery. In this view, the disease has a clear beginning and end. However, patient experiences and clinical data ...
Phys.org / New AI method advances prediction of Brazil's national soybean yield
A new AI-based system can generate high-resolution soybean yield maps across Brazil using only limited local data, improving yield estimates for this key agricultural region and potentially providing strategic benefits to ...
Phys.org / What to know about EPA decision to revoke a scientific finding that helped fight climate change
The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday revoked its own 2009 "endangerment finding," a scientific conclusion that for 16 years has been the central basis for regulating planet-warming emissions from power plants, ...
Tech Xplore / Betting on floating ports: Researchers test technology for faster construction
Building a port on land takes time. On water, the job can be done quickly. Hagbart Skage Alsos and his research colleagues at SINTEF are investigating how to build floating ports. Ports in Northern Europe are full. Offshore ...
Medical Xpress / Survey of 18,000 nurses finds rising workload and staffing cuts
Nurses are increasingly overloaded. This is especially true in nursing homes and in home care, as shown by the results of the latest nursing survey in which more than 18,000 nurses answered questions about how they experience ...
Phys.org / Failed supernova provides clearest view yet of a star collapsing into a black hole
Astronomers have watched a dying star fail to explode as a supernova, instead collapsing into a black hole. The remarkable sighting is the most complete observational record ever made of a star's transformation into a black ...
Phys.org / Unique 'inside out' planetary system reveals rocky outer world
A global team of astronomers, led by the University of Warwick, have used a European Space Agency (ESA) telescope to discover a planetary system that turns our understanding of planet formation upside down, with a distant ...
Phys.org / Elephant trunk whiskers exhibit material intelligence, revealing the secret behind an amazing sense of touch
A new study from an interdisciplinary German research collaboration, led by the Haptic Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), reveals the secret to the gentle dexterity of the ...
Medical Xpress / Mpox transmission model sheds light on a medical mystery
In a groundbreaking new study, a team of researchers from South Dakota State University—led by associate professor Saikat Basu—determined the critical exposure durations for inhaled transmission of pox viruses, including ...
Phys.org / A new microscope for the quantum age: Single nanoscale scan measures four key material properties
Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete quantum chips, accelerating ...
Phys.org / Jupiter-family comet 41P/TGK slows down and reverses spin after perihelion
New analysis on 2017 Hubble images of the Jupiter-family comet, 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresak (41P/TGK), indicates that the comet underwent a spin reversal between April and December 2017. While this behavior is not unheard ...
Phys.org / New study maps where wheat, barley and rye grew before the first farmers found them
Using advanced machine learning and climate models, researchers have shown that the ancestors of crops like wheat, barley, and rye probably were much less widespread in the Middle East 12,000 years ago than previously believed. ...
