Medical Xpress / Nearly three quarters of US baby foods are ultra-processed, new study finds
An alarming 71% of grocery store baby food products in the United States are classified as ultra-processed foods (UPFs), according to new research published in the journal Nutrients. Researchers at The George Institute for ...
Phys.org / A 'crazy' dice proof leads to a new understanding of a fundamental law of physics
Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than describe exactly where each ...
Phys.org / China carbon emissions 'flat or falling' in 2025: analysis
China's emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide were "flat or falling" in 2025, analysis showed Thursday, but progress remains fragile and it is not yet clear that emissions have peaked.
Medical Xpress / Speech latency may predict schizophrenia trial response, boosting drug-placebo separation
Researchers have identified a promising new speech biomarker that could significantly enrich clinical trials by reducing sample size requirements and enhancing statistical outcomes. By using speech latency, participants who ...
Phys.org / Satellite record shows boreal forests expanded 12% and shifted north since 1985
The boreal forest—the world's largest terrestrial biome—is warming faster than any other forest type. To understand the changing dynamics of boreal forests, Min Feng and colleagues analyzed the biome from 1985 to 2020, ...
Phys.org / Discovery of a possible pulsar in the Milky Way's center could enable unprecedented tests of General Relativity
Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth, have published new results from the Breakthrough Listen Galactic Center ...
Phys.org / Study finds climate change set the stage for devastating wildfires in Argentina and Chile
Human-caused climate change had an important impact on the recent ferocious wildfires that engulfed parts of Chile and Argentina's Patagonia region, making the extremely high-risk conditions that led to widespread burning ...
Medical Xpress / Non-contractile heart cells help sustain persistent atrial fibrillation, study reveals
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, is very challenging to treat once it becomes persistent, after which spontaneous return to normal rhythm becomes highly unlikely. ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds gaps in concussion reporting across Texas high schools
Fewer concussions were reported among Texas high school athletes and students in urban and lower-income districts than in higher-income suburban districts despite larger enrollments, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Why asthma risk differs by sex: Study links early-life exposures to lung gene networks
A new study has confirmed that male and female lungs are "wired differently" at the molecular level, providing further evidence supporting sex-inclusive respiratory disease research and treatment. The work is published in ...
Phys.org / New study uses Neanderthals to demonstrate gap between generative AI and scholarly knowledge
Technological advances over the past four decades have turned mobile devices and computers into the world's largest library, where information is just a tap away. Phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches—they're a part of ...
Tech Xplore / Supercomputer provides high-fidelity insights into turbine aerothermal performance
In a long-running collaboration with GE Aerospace, researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia have been steadily working to improve the performance of high-pressure turbine (HPT) engines through computer simulations ...
