Phys.org / Painting the growing season in the Maize Triangle
Radar data from an agricultural area in South Africa, shown in a vivid color palette, reveal crop types and how they changed during the Southern Hemisphere's growing season.
Medical Xpress / One in five patients achieve functional hepatitis B cure after 24 weeks of bepirovirsen
In an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, University of Michigan Health hepatologist Anna S. Lok, M.D., hails newly announced results of the B-Well clinical trials as "a major step toward a functional ...
Phys.org / Elephant declines could trigger wider ecosystem losses in African savannas, 15-year test shows
For decades, ecologists have theorized that the extinction of one important species could set off a chain reaction of losses throughout an ecosystem. Now, new research offers some of the clearest real-world evidence that ...
Phys.org / Orangutans breastfeed for six and a half years, the longest among mammals
Orangutans have one of the slowest life histories among mammals, and a new study now shows just how long orangutan mothers continue to breastfeed their offspring. An international team has demonstrated that wild orangutan ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden harm online: One in four vulnerable youth faced abuse, few reported it
A new study from researchers at the Child Mind Institute finds that negative online experiences are common among children and adolescents with mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions, and that most incidents are not ...
Phys.org / Rare male red pipefish carrying eggs on its trunk spotted in Sydney
The red pipefish (Notiocampus ruber) is a rare relative of seahorses and seadragons found only in Australia.
Medical Xpress / Cannabidiol significantly reduces chronic pain for those with nerve damage
A new study by researchers at the University of Sydney has shown that taking cannabidiol (CBD) can significantly reduce chronic neuropathic pain in those suffering from it. The findings of the randomized placebo-controlled ...
Phys.org / Last-of-its-kind tree clinging to cliffside finds new hope at botanic gardens
Conservationists are in a race against time to prevent one of the world's rarest island plants from disappearing forever, after seeds collected from the only surviving wild Dendroseris neriifolia tree arrived at the Millennium ...
Tech Xplore / Redesigned catalyst pathways vent bubbles fast and boost green hydrogen efficiency
As the global transition toward carbon neutrality accelerates, "water electrolysis"—a technology that splits water electrically to produce clean hydrogen—is drawing significant attention. However, a major limitation has been ...
Tech Xplore / Underground acoustic signals reveal hidden tunnels
For decades, engineers have searched for underground tunnels by sending signals from the surface downward—an approach that can miss what lies below. By reversing that approach, researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum computing could transform energy grid optimization and security
Modern power systems are rapidly evolving into highly digitized smart grids, increasing their complexity at an unprecedented pace. Renewables, batteries, electric vehicles, power electronics, sensors and real-time control ...
Phys.org / Chromosome model links one steady motor to shape shift needed for cell division
It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half. Rice University professor ...
