Tech Xplore / New open-source software for quantum cryptography is greater than the sum of its parts
Accurate models of real-world scenarios are important for bringing theoretical and experimental research together in meaningful ways. Creating these realistic computer models, however, is a very large undertaking. Significant ...
Phys.org / High-resolution land surface dataset provides Earth system modeling details
Earth system models (ESMs) help us understand climate and environmental changes. With advances in computing power, ESMs can now be run at kilometer-scale (k-scale) resolutions, capturing very fine details to better predict ...
Phys.org / Study reveals worrying levels of fiberglass in oysters and mussels
A new study has revealed worrying levels of fiberglass in oysters and mussels. This marks the first time fiberglass or glass reinforced plastic (GRP) particles have been found entering the food chain and raises urgent environmental ...
Medical Xpress / Destroying cancer-causing RNA could lead to bespoke treatments, say scientists
Peter Mac researchers have taken the first step towards designing rapid personalized cancer treatments by 'cutting out' disease-causing RNA.
Medical Xpress / New lab test to detect persistent HIV strains in Africa may aid search for cure
A multinational team led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators developed a test that will help measure the persistence of HIV in people affected by viral strains found predominantly in Africa—a vital tool in the search ...
Phys.org / Study finds emissions trading also creates health benefits
The EU Emissions Trading System is not only good for reducing CO2 and for the climate. It also results in considerable health benefits due to reduced air pollution and saves hundreds of billions of euros, according to a recently ...
Medical Xpress / New protein target identified for early Alzheimer's treatment
A class of proteins that regulates cell repair and enhances cell growth-signaling systems could be a promising new target for the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, according to a new study led ...
Tech Xplore / Threads hits 175 mn users on first anniversary
Threads, Meta's alternative to X (formerly Twitter), has hit 175 million monthly users a year after its out-of-the-blue launch.
Phys.org / How studying bat viruses can help prevent zoonotic disease
Bats have become the poster child of emerging zoonotic disease. The creatures harbor a vast array of viruses—some of which cause deadly diseases in humans—yet they rarely get sick themselves.
Phys.org / Researchers find crucial gaps in climate risk assessment methods
Researchers from the Universities of Zurich, Vienna and Utrecht have uncovered significant flaws in current climate risk assessment techniques that could lead to a severe underestimation of climate-related financial losses ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover a new face-detecting brain circuit
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have uncovered a brain circuit in primates that rapidly detects faces. The findings help not only explain how primates sense and recognize faces, but could also have implications ...
Phys.org / Searching for the missing link between growth and longevity
Many scientists believe that in mammals, there's a tradeoff between growth and better health. Pugs, for example, are known to live longer than their larger counterpart in the dog world, the Great Dane. But a new study shows ...
