Medical Xpress / Junk food suppliers have 'shocking' major presence at UK's biggest school food event
As the government prepares to introduce updated school food standards, an investigation by The BMJ finds that more than a third of the firms exhibiting at the UK's biggest school food show sell products high in fat, sugar ...
Phys.org / Experiment shows how AI discoveries can shape human cultural evolution
Artificial intelligence can develop solutions that humans would be unlikely to discover on their own. But what happens when machines do more than solve individual problems and actually discover entirely new solution strategies? ...
Phys.org / Robotic ocean glider reveals giant phytoplankton chains in the Mediterranean Sea
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in Marseille, France, have discovered something surprising in the Mediterranean Sea: giant chains of phytoplankton.
Medical Xpress / Scales and a measuring tape can predict future illness better than expensive biological age tests
Traditional disease risk factors that are inexpensive and easy to measure, such as body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, smoking and alcohol consumption, outperform biological age tests based on epigenetics as predictors of ...
Medical Xpress / Why do we see colors in a black-and-white top?
When a pattern drawn only in black and white is rotated, people sometimes perceive colors that are not actually present. This phenomenon, known as "subjective color," has been studied for approximately 200 years as one of ...
Phys.org / Harsher weather could encourage sustainable ecolabeling in fishing industry
New research by a Washington State University economist examines how changing environmental conditions may influence the practice and trustworthiness of sustainable ecolabeling in the fishing industry.
Medical Xpress / A molecule released during exercise may help protect muscles weakened by type 2 diabetes
Scientists have discovered that a key molecule released during exercise strengthens muscles, improves exercise performance and could be a potential therapeutic treatment for muscle damage caused by type 2 diabetes.
Medical Xpress / Transparency for global health aid: 60% of disease burden draws just 2.5% of targeted funds, analysis reveals
To what extent does the allocation of aid for combating disease correspond to disease burden? LMU researchers have developed a machine-learning pipeline that helps uncover relative discrepancies in aid distribution.
Tech Xplore / When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can't be traced to training data
When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals and proposed regulations worldwide. Artists want credit. Companies ...
Phys.org / Last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees could have been a vertical climber, no matter its feet
New research suggests that no matter what we eventually determine the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees to be, we'll learn it was a primate that climbed trees.
Phys.org / Rare satellite data reveal major limits in flood models
The Kakhovka Dam in southern Ukraine was destroyed on June 6, 2023. The event unleashed a catastrophic flood that forced thousands of residents to evacuate their communities as water levels rose 10 feet (3 meters) above normal.
Phys.org / Curved surfaces reshape active materials, localizing vibrations near defects
Many materials, both living and engineered, are powered from within. Scientists have thoroughly investigated how such 'active' materials operate, but so far, mostly in circumstances where the curvature of the environment ...
