Medical Xpress / Mediterranean-inspired diet with added methionine extends healthy lifespan in mice
A plant- and fish-based, low-protein diet paired with small amounts of an amino acid commonly found in eggs, meat and dairy increased healthy lifespan and decreased frailty and fat mass in mice, according to a new USC study ...
Phys.org / X-ray snapshots reveal how viral shells change shape as they dry out
When viruses travel through the air in tiny droplets, they can quickly start to dry out. Yet many viruses remain infectious after rehydration—something that is still not fully understood. Now, an international team of researchers ...
Medical Xpress / New Alzheimer's drugs offer hope for some, but good dementia care protects the humanity of those they cannot help
Disease-modifying drugs for Alzheimer's offer a meaningful glimpse of hope for many people who fear dementia. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, but dementia itself is an umbrella term for symptoms ...
Phys.org / By saving ecosystems, environmental regulations help prevent biodiversity loss
Long-term conservation policies may help restore freshwater ecosystems and prevent extreme species loss, new research suggests.
Phys.org / Economic and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture vary widely across farms and regions
Regenerative agriculture can deliver both economic and environmental benefits for European farmers, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) concludes in the research project Regenomics. Whether these benefits are actually ...
Phys.org / California has lost more than half of its coastal sand dunes, first-ever assessment reveals
A study conducted by UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators has found that California has lost more than half of its coastal dune systems. The researchers' assessment—the first of its kind for the California coast—estimates ...
Phys.org / Webb spots the birth of a giant galaxy and a supermassive black hole
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to catch an extraordinary glimpse of a massive galaxy taking shape in the early universe. They identified a compact group of at least six galaxies that are likely to merge ...
Medical Xpress / How heat waves are dangerous to human health
A punishing heat wave overwhelming hospitals in Europe is just the latest reminder of the deadly threat such scorching temperatures can pose to human health.
Phys.org / Pterosaur wing tests suggest modern reconstructions miss major shape diversity
Pterosaurs, the first vertebrates to fly, would have had more diverse wing shapes than current scientific reconstructions suggest, according to new University of Bristol-led research. The study is published in the journal ...
Tech Xplore / Critique challenges Microsoft's quantum computing claims
A critique from the University of St Andrews published in the journal Nature provides evidence that Microsoft's claimed quantum computing "breakthrough" was built on flawed foundations.
Phys.org / Talking edible robot deepens human perception of food culture and ethics
A research group led by Associate Professor Yoshihiro Nakata from the Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering at the University of Electro-Communications, Japan, in collaboration with researchers from Doshisha University ...
Phys.org / Pseudomonads boost crop growth in salty soils across multiple plants, could protect against rising sea levels
Researchers at the University of East Anglia have helped uncover a hidden ally in the fight against one of agriculture's greatest threats—salty soil. Led by Chinese collaborator Dr. Yanfen Zheng, the team's new study shows ...
