Phys.org / Well-placed poplar plantations can enhance forest connectivity for birds
A new study shows how fast-growing poplar plantations can improve functional connectivity for forest birds in fragmented agricultural landscapes, provided they are strategically located and species have moderate to high dispersal ...
Medical Xpress / Novel diabetic wound treatment turns cells into manufacturers
Diabetes affects more than 40 million people in the United States, according to the American Diabetes Association. For many, the chronic condition means a lifetime of pain as worsening circulation leads to nonhealing ulcers ...
Phys.org / Ancient Maya droughts may have been fueled by Earth's own climate swings
Dramatic droughts linked to the decline of the Classic Maya civilization approximately 800 to 1000 CE may not have required any external trigger, according to a new climate modeling study. Instead, they could have emerged ...
Phys.org / ALMA and JWST investigate giant disk galaxy's formation and evolution
European astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a recently discovered giant disk galaxy known as ADF22.1. Results of the new observations, published ...
Phys.org / There's a range of magic angles to study superconductivity in a twisted 2D semiconductor
Last year, tungsten diselenide (WSe2) had its magic moment. Two independent research groups discovered "magic angles" at which two atom-thin layers of the unique semiconductor, when twisted relative to one another into what's ...
Phys.org / The hidden factor shaping dementia caregiving stress: Relationships
Caring for a spouse with dementia is arguably one of the most emotionally and physically demanding roles a person can take on, but new research from Rice University suggests the experience is not defined by the diagnosis ...

Medical Xpress / Measuring the 'empty tank': Pilot study gauges muscle energy in cancer survivors
Apparently healthy cancer survivors often complain of extreme fatigue. They have finished treatment, the scans are clear, but they feel hollowed out, unable to walk to the mailbox or stay awake through dinner. The languor ...
Phys.org / I've fired one of America's most powerful lasers—here's what a shot day looks like
If you walk across the open yard in front of the Physics, Math and Astronomy building at the University of Texas at Austin, you'll see a 17-story tower and a huge L-shaped building. What you won't see is what's underneath ...
Tech Xplore / This fuel crisis could last for a while. It's time for a new approach to fuel use—end it
Australia is in the middle of a fuel crisis, but the way the state and federal governments have chosen to respond signals a firm commitment to fossil fuels.
Phys.org / A monster black hole appeared first, then its galaxy began to grow around it
Using observations gathered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers have revealed that one supermassive black hole in the early universe must have formed before a galaxy developed around ...
Phys.org / Antioxidant glutathione discovered to play a key role in proper protein folding
In the past several years, Rockefeller University's Kivanç Birsoy and his team in the Laboratory of Metabolic Regulation and Genetics have revealed remarkable details about the antioxidant glutathione, which plays many essential ...
