Phys.org / Using cow dung for sustainable carbon dioxide capture
Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges in the present times. Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere are a major factor contributing to this phenomenon. Activities such as the ...
Phys.org / Dinos hatched eggs less efficiently than modern birds, researchers show
What do we really know about how oviraptors—bird-like but flightless dinosaurs—hatched their eggs? Did they use environmental heat, like crocodiles, or body heat from an adult, like birds? In a new Frontiers in Ecology ...
Phys.org / Monte Verde fieldwork resets age of famous South American archaeological site
New research led by a University of Wyoming archaeologist near an ancient encampment in South America challenges a relatively new but widely accepted theory that the people who made and used Clovis points in North America ...
Phys.org / An AI-guided gene-editing tool for more precise and safer DNA correction
Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, ...
Phys.org / Terahertz spin waves can be converted into computer signals, study shows
What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next generation of computers. In spintronics, the intrinsic angular momentum of an electron (the spin) is used ...
Medical Xpress / How an imbalanced gut microbiome worsens chronic kidney disease
Researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine have uncovered how an imbalanced gut microbiome escalates the production of metabolic byproducts by certain gut bacteria. This imbalance drives a feedback loop that worsens chronic ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered tissue offers hope for children born with 'missing' esophagus
Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus—the food pipe—shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and restore normal ...
Medical Xpress / Testosterone improves fat distribution for older women
As we age, the amount and distribution of fat in our bodies changes. Most fat is subcutaneous—meaning it is stored just under the skin. Subcutaneous fat generally does not have detrimental health impacts. In fact, we need ...
Phys.org / How our planet's history was shaped when the Earth moved
The history of Earth is written on the great tablets of tectonic plates. The motions of plates shaped land masses, formed oceans, and created the varied climates and habitats that set the stage for evolution and the diversity ...
Phys.org / Molecular enhancements help plants light up when they're under attack
Imagine that plants could tell us exactly when they're stressed, infected, or being eaten by insects, by lighting up. A new study led by Dr. Karen Sarkisyan, Head of the Synthetic Biology group at the MRC Laboratory of Medical ...
Phys.org / New research explores the paradox of firms' unique technologies
A company's ability to be technologically unique is an asset, but it can also be a costly, isolating characteristic. A new study published in Strategic Management Journal provides empirical evidence of this paradox, offering ...
Phys.org / The best places to look for alien life: Scientists identify 45 Earth-like worlds to explore for a 'Project Hail Mary'
If we're to find extraterrestrial life in the universe, astronomers have pinpointed the best places to look for it. They have identified just under 50 rocky worlds most likely to be habitable out of the more than 6,000 exoplanets ...
