Phys.org / Melts in your mouth, but not in your car: The ongoing scientific quest to create heat‑resistant chocolate
There are few pleasures greater than letting a piece of chocolate melt slowly on your tongue. Indeed, the proximity of chocolate's melting point to our own body temperature is one reason it is so widely appreciated.
Phys.org / More than half of Earth's migratory bird species are declining—here's how we can still save them
Every year, billions of migratory birds connect the world's continents, oceans and ecosystems as they undertake epic journeys between their foraging habitats and breeding grounds.
Medical Xpress / Children with severe pneumonia can leave hospital sooner after switching to oral antibiotics, trial shows
Children hospitalized with severe pneumonia can safely switch from injectable to oral antibiotics once they begin to recover, allowing many to return home sooner and complete treatment outside the hospital. That is according ...
Phys.org / Recycling does not weaken support for broader climate action, survey finds
In research published in npj Climate Action, UNSW Sydney behavioral scientists, in collaboration with researchers from Griffith University, say they found no evidence for claims that climate action at the individual level ...
Medical Xpress / Research reveals persistent racial disparities in stroke treatment and outcomes
Three studies presented at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's (SNIS) 23rd Annual Meeting found that racial, geographic and socioeconomic disparities continue to influence stroke treatment and outcomes across the ...
Tech Xplore / Ultraprecise battery scan maps nanoscale electrode thickness variations to improve EV fire safety
A KAIST research team has developed a method capable of detecting minute variations in battery electrode thickness that can contribute to thermal runaway with a precision equivalent to approximately one ten-thousandth of ...
Phys.org / Drought, water shortages and crop failures: How does the medieval warm period compare with today?
A heat wave lasting four months, followed by water shortages and crop failures. This is England in the 13th century, not the 21st. What is often called the Medieval Warm Period saw elevated temperatures in many parts of the ...
Phys.org / Hawaiian stilt reclassified from endangered to threatened after 50 years of conservation efforts
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the reclassification of the Aʻeo, or Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act, a rare and hopeful milestone ...
Medical Xpress / Focused ultrasound may enhance chemotherapy, survival outcomes for pancreatic cancer
A phase 2 clinical trial published in the European Journal of Cancer suggests that a novel form of focused ultrasound combined with standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy may improve tumor response and survival outcomes in patients ...
Phys.org / Floating colonies: Engineering 3D microbial architectures in liquid cultures
Microbes in the gut, lungs and biofilms do not simply exist as perfectly mixed populations; instead, they grow in layered and clustered three-dimensional (3D) arrangements. This spatial organization shapes how nutrients and ...
Medical Xpress / Why air travel can be so hard on the body
At any given time, hundreds of thousands of people are traveling by air. For many, these journeys will pass without consequence. But for some, a routine flight may trigger a health emergency.
Phys.org / Quantum sensing microscope illuminates transistor design
Artificial intelligence faces an energy crisis stemming from a physical traffic jam inside modern computer chips. Processors must continually shuffle data, such as the billions of parameters in complex models, between separate ...
