Phys.org / Great power rivalry is reshaping global supply chains, new study shows
Rising tensions between the US and China are changing how companies design global supply chains in strategic industries such as semiconductors and rare earths. New research shows firms are no longer just reacting to trade ...
Medical Xpress / Microbes living in our mouths could hold the key to obesity prevention
Scientists may have found a new way to spot early signs of obesity, which could lead to novel prevention strategies. A study published in the journal Cell Reports has discovered that people living with obesity have a distinct ...
Medical Xpress / Smoke from wildfires linked to 17,000 strokes in the US alone
People exposed to wildfire smoke have a higher risk of suffering a stroke, according to research published in the European Heart Journal. The researchers estimate that in the US alone, smoke from wildfires may be responsible ...
Phys.org / Citizen science and the challenge of measuring urban sustainability
Cities are expected to track sustainability progress with data that are often incomplete, outdated, or available only at national level. New research led by IIASA in collaboration with UN-Habitat finds that citizen science ...
Medical Xpress / A fish that grows old in months reveals how kidneys age—and how a common drug protects them
In a new study published in Kidney International, researchers report that drugs known as SGLT2 inhibitors prevented age-related deterioration of kidney structure and function in the African turquoise killifish, a vertebrate ...
Medical Xpress / The pandemic's hidden toll: Millions of chronic conditions left undiagnosed
When COVID hit, health care systems around the world were turned upside down. Hospitals cleared beds, routine appointments were canceled and people were told to stay at home unless it was urgent. In England, visits to family ...
Phys.org / Four-eyed Cambrian fish fossils hint at origins of vertebrate pineal complex
New fossil evidence from China suggests that some of our vertebrate ancestors had four eyes. The study, published in Nature, takes a closer look at a structure found in multiple 518 million-year-old fossils, which appears ...
Tech Xplore / How to include fossil fuel communities in Canada's clean energy transition
Fossil fuel-dependent communities in Western Canada sit at the center of Canada's energy decisions. A just and inclusive clean energy transition will depend on how well governments listen to these communities and how fast ...
Phys.org / Edison's 1879 bulb experiments may have unintentionally produced graphene
What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According to a recent publication from the lab of Rice University's James Tour in ACS Nano, it could be graphene—an ...
Phys.org / Establishing a new QM/MM design principle based on electronic-state responses
A research team has proposed a new design principle for QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) simulations. The approach enables objective and automatic determination of the quantum-mechanical region based on electronic-state ...
Medical Xpress / Tennessee fungus outbreak sickens 35, kills 1, and is linked to soil exposure
Tennessee health officials are investigating a cluster of infections tied to a fungus found in soil, after at least 35 people became sick. One death is under review. The illness, called histoplasmosis, affects the lungs and ...
Tech Xplore / Elastic metasurface can capture multiple frequencies at once
It has long been considered common sense that a single device performs only one function. Just as tuning a radio to a different frequency changes the channel, systems that manipulate waves have traditionally been designed ...
