Medical Xpress / Assisted reproductive technology associated with higher risk of childhood atopic diseases
Collaborating institutions in Taiwan report higher risks of atopic disease among children conceived via assisted reproductive technology compared to those conceived naturally.
Medical Xpress / Infants receiving nirsevimab fare better against RSV compared to those with maternal vaccination
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. For most healthy adults and children, it causes only mild, cold-like symptoms and goes away on its own. Infants under 6 months ...
Phys.org / Twitter data reveals partisan divide in understanding why pollen season's getting worse
Two things are clear from a University of Michigan analysis of nearly 200,000 Twitter posts between 2012 and 2022. One, people are really good at identifying peak pollen season: The largest volume of tweets about pollen often ...
Phys.org / Blazar Ton 599's complex variability investigated by long-term observations
Using the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT), an international team of astronomers have performed long-term photometric observations of a luminous blazar known as Ton 599. Results of the observations, published in the Astronomy ...
Tech Xplore / Manganese gets its moment as a potential fuel cell catalyst
The road to a more sustainable planet may be partially paved with manganese. According to a new study by researchers at Yale and the University of Missouri, chemical catalysts containing manganese—an abundant, inexpensive ...
Phys.org / New census of sun's neighbors reveals best potential real estate for life
A new study led by a Georgia State University astronomy graduate student is a major step forward in the search for stars that could host Earth-like planets that may prove to be good havens for life to develop. Sebastián ...
Phys.org / Catalyst behavior that could cut emissions and stabilize supply of everyday materials revealed
A Rice University-led team has unveiled how tiny molecular structures on industrial catalysts behave during the manufacture of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), a core ingredient in adhesives, paints, coatings, packaging, textiles ...
Medical Xpress / Humans may be predisposed to understanding the complexities of music
There is a long-standing debate in the field of music cognition about the impact of musical training and whether formal training is needed to pick up higher-order tonal structures—the overarching harmonic framework of a ...
Medical Xpress / Mathematics uncovers shifting brain connectivity in autism and aging
It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig, ...
Phys.org / AMOC collapse simulations reveal what could happen to the ocean's carbon
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water northward and colder, denser water to the south. This "conveyor belt" process helps redistribute heat, ...
Phys.org / Mass spec innovation uses 'bin' sorting to detect overlooked molecules
Weight says a lot. In the kitchen, it could mean cooking with too little or too much of an ingredient. For scientists, a molecule's weight can help determine its makeup. This, in turn, can shed light on whether a potential ...
Phys.org / Marine regression emerges as key driver of Late Paleozoic Ice Age in high-resolution model
Earth system box models are essential tools for reconstructing long-term climatic and environmental evolution and uncovering Earth system mechanisms. To overcome the spatiotemporal resolution limitations of current deep-time ...
