Medical Xpress / Breast cancer still most common cancer among women worldwide, with annual cases expected to exceed 3.5 million by 2050
Despite recent advancements in breast cancer treatments, new breast cancer cases in women are predicted to rise by a third globally from 2.3 million in 2023 to more than 3.5 million in 2050. Similarly, yearly deaths from ...
Phys.org / Mott and Kondo insulators—how external stimuli can modify electronic energy bands
A study from the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) has uncovered a theoretical mechanism showing how the electronic band structures of strongly correlated insulators can be reshaped by spin and charge ...
Phys.org / Stale bread and bacteria could power a new era in green chemicals
Scientists have found a way to use common bacteria as tiny, green chemical factories to replace a process that currently relies on fossil fuels. In industrial hydrogenation, the hydrogen added to molecules to create products ...
Phys.org / Travel far, breed hard, and die young: Short-eared owls and why they should be studied
This Journal of Raptor Research issue focuses on movement ecology—how and why raptors move. This can include classic movements like migration, as well as nomadism.
Phys.org / Porpoises can 'turn down the volume' to withstand ship noise
Porpoises are entirely dependent on their hearing for survival. They navigate, hunt, and communicate by emitting rapid click sounds and listening to the returning echoes. However, with increasingly noisy oceans, it is getting ...
Phys.org / Scientists synthesize stable N₄ radical anions under ambient conditions
A team of scientists from the University of Manchester and Oxford have synthesized stable nitrogen chain radical anions under ambient conditions. These molecules, which are normally too reactive to isolate and study under ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar can comfort newborn babies during painful procedures
A new Cochrane review has found that sucrose can help with pain relief in newborn babies during common hospital procedures, such as venipuncture. This involves drawing blood with a needle, typically for testing.
Phys.org / Color shortcut reveals bumblebees are efficient decision-makers
During their search for food, most insects head specifically for the flowers that promise the highest reward. But how do they know which ones to choose? Researchers from the University of Konstanz and the University of Würzburg ...
Phys.org / Single-celled organism becomes multicellular via three different pathways
Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger multicellular organism. A new ...
Phys.org / Urban trees can absorb more CO₂ than cars emit on some summer days, Munich study shows
How much carbon dioxide do parks and individual trees in cities absorb, and how much do they release? To answer this question, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a high-resolution CO₂ ...
Medical Xpress / Prediabetes or diabetes found in 1 in 3 patients during dental appointment
A new King's College London study has revealed how a simple chairside test helps to screen patients who have other risk factors for the diabetes, such as high BMI and gum disease. The research addresses the large overlap ...
Phys.org / Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping ...
