Phys.org / Scientists improve knowledge on sea level rise—and confirm it has been accelerating since 1960
Sea level rise is a direct consequence of human-induced climate change: global warming. It is relentless and very hard to stop. It arises from human-induced warming and the consequential expansion of the ocean, plus the addition ...
Phys.org / Paper calls for biologists to rethink how they analyze the impact of climate
A new paper calls for ecologists and evolutionary biologists to consider how organisms experience climate rather than how weather stations record it when doing climate–biology research. The paper, "Matching climate to biological ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly 60% of college students with a psychosis diagnosis are not receiving the recommended mental health treatment
Despite a low overall prevalence of psychosis in the United States, affecting three percent of the population, this condition is a serious public health concern because people often delay seeking care for an average of 74 ...
Phys.org / Showing empathy can make you more attractive, even when you frown
People who smile empathically at someone's happiness or frown at their suffering become more attractive. Conversely, smiling out of schadenfreude does not make someone any less attractive. Roujia Feng will defend her Ph.D. ...
Medical Xpress / Decolonizing health care: Systematic review identifies practical elements of health care across six countries
When an Indigenous woman gives birth at a Canadian hospital, saving the placenta is treated as a given. Multiple family members crowd the birthing room. A quiet space is made available. These aren't special accommodations, ...
Phys.org / New insights into how the human hand evolved from our ape-like ancestors
The human hand is an evolutionary marvel. While other primates rely on their hands for locomotion and basic grasping, ours can shape tools, manipulate objects, and perform detailed tasks requiring great dexterity and precision. ...
Phys.org / 129,000 years of crocodiles: What we know about Australasia's ancient apex predators
The sight of a saltwater crocodile basking on a mudbank is one of the most iconic and intimidating images of northern Australia. Yet the crocodiles that inhabit the region today are just the survivors of a much richer and ...
Medical Xpress / New technique discovers previously unknown population of immune cells in the Alzheimer's brain
A newly developed microscopy technique allows, for the first time, the visualization of more than 30 protein markers simultaneously in the human brain and uses bioinformatics to analyze their spatial relationships. In the ...
Phys.org / The quantum key to seeing through chaos
Researchers from the Institut des NanoSciences de Paris, the Kastler Brossel Laboratory and the University of Glasgow have developed an innovative method that renders a scattering medium transparent solely for information ...
Medical Xpress / Autism social differences emerge early but can change considerably by adulthood, research suggests
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in behavior, social interactions, communication, and sensory perceptions. Some autistic individuals find communicating and connecting ...
Science X / The first few weeks of fatherhood don't just change lives—they rapidly rewire men's brains in ways few expected
While motherhood's impact on the brain is well-studied, what happens to new fathers' minds has remained largely a mystery. Now, a new study reveals profound, unexpected changes in the paternal brain.
Phys.org / Reusable tea cups have hidden thresholds for achieving environmental sustainability
By combining demand-driven life cycle assessment with a multi-objective optimization framework, researchers identified potential optimal solutions for reusable bubble tea packaging systems under actual market demand conditions. ...
