Phys.org / Muddying the waters makes stickleback fish more coordinated, study finds
Stickleback fish can change their social behavior to help them find food in cloudy water, according to a new University of Bristol study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Phys.org / Rare train of Pacific cyclones fueled by historic El Niño
Two powerful hurricanes and a strengthening tropical storm on Wednesday were churning through the Pacific Ocean, where waters were being warmed by a historically strong El Niño climate episode.
Medical Xpress / Boosting indoor light could help support healthy aging in older adults in urban areas
Bright light therapy lamps can improve sleep, activity levels and circadian rhythms among older adults in urban areas who have diminished exposure to natural light, a new study from the University of Surrey reports. Scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Daraxonrasib demonstrates initial antitumor activity in RAS-mutant lung cancer
Daraxonrasib, an oral RAS inhibitor therapy, achieved durable responses in pretreated patients with RAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase 1/2 trial led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Tech Xplore / Digital brain twins hinge on what living brains reveal, not computing power alone
Researchers from the University of Warwick report that how faithfully we can build a "digital twin" of a human brain depends not only on computing power but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate ...
Medical Xpress / Dozens of genes tied to OCD and tic disorders discovered
A Rutgers-led international collaboration has identified 36 genes that substantially raise the risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders—providing, two researchers said, the most detailed biological ...
Phys.org / Declining star formation not caused by simple 'fuel crisis,' new measurements suggest
The universe has been having fewer and fewer stellar "babies." Over the past 4.5 billion years, the rate of star birth has crashed to less than half of what it once was. But here's the twist: the most essential "fuel" for ...
Phys.org / Blind spots at Antarctic coasts limit sea level projections
The Antarctic coastal zone is not simply the edge of the continent. It is a tightly coupled system where ice from the ice sheet extends over the seabed, initially resting on it and farther out floating as ice shelves. Here, ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop cost-efficient method for detecting hallucinations in large language models
Researchers from Skoltech and Sberbank's Center for Practical Artificial Intelligence have proposed a new method, TOHA, for detecting hallucinations in large language models operating in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) ...
Medical Xpress / Research identifies lasting brain changes associated with adolescent binge alcohol exposure
New research from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine provides insight into how binge alcohol exposure during adolescence may cause lasting changes in brain function that persist into adulthood, potentially ...
Phys.org / Diatom sequencing project finds striking genetic differences among microscopic algae
An international team of more than 100 scientists has taken a major step toward unlocking the secrets of some of Earth's tiniest but most important organisms.
Phys.org / World must prepare for 'reality' of missing 1.5C goal: UN
The United Nations said Wednesday the 1.5°C target would be missed and outlined how global temperatures might be brought back down in a first-of-its-kind assessment met with dismay in climate-vulnerable nations.
