Phys.org / Taxing billionaires and redistributing wealth could save millions of lives amid global aid cuts
Wealth redistribution policies currently under discussion in international forums could avert between 6.6 million and 29.5 million deaths by 2030, according to a study published in The Lancet and led by ISGlobal in collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / Neural response measurements may offer new clues to how depression-related thoughts become automatic
Our brains do a lot of things automatically without a reasoning process involved—regulating our autonomic nervous system, for starters, and more mundane things like watching where we step so we don't trip. Our brains even ...
Phys.org / How 'parachute science' is failing the world's tropical insects
Monash University scientists have developed a global framework to tackle a major blind spot in biodiversity conservation: Insects underpin ecosystems and food production but remain largely invisible to conservation efforts ...
Phys.org / AI D-Day weather forecast falters under pressure
Today's best weather computers would still have struggled to accurately predict the weather for the D-Day landings, University of Reading research shows. The new research, published in the journal Weather ahead of the release ...
Medical Xpress / Starting diabetes medicine sooner after kidney injury may protect kidneys
A study of adults with type 2 diabetes recovering from dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury found that patients who began an SGLT-2 inhibitor within 30 days of hospital discharge had fewer serious kidney events than those ...
Phys.org / Eggshells-inspired aluminum material offers significant protection from space debris
There are nearly 1 million pieces of debris larger than 1 centimeter (0.4 inch) in near-Earth orbit. As we continue launching spacecraft and telescopes to explore the universe, this debris poses a significant threat of high-speed ...
Medical Xpress / Certain DNA signatures may reveal which prostate cancers are most likely to spread
