Phys.org / Deep inside crocodile skulls, 100 million years of brain evolution barely registers
Although modern crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials are restricted to the tropics, their fossil record tells a very different story. Ancient crocodylians once inhabited much of the globe and exhibited a remarkable ...
Phys.org / Ozone depletion began decades before discovery of ozone hole, scientists find
The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985, when scientists observed a severe depletion in Earth's protective layer of stratospheric ozone. Industrial chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), then widely used as ...
Phys.org / Polymer network reconfigures in sequence, helping elastomers stay tough under strain
Shock-absorbing sneaker soles are likely made of polyurethane, a highly elastic and tough polymer. The ability of these elastomers to absorb impact without breaking is extremely important for practical applications. While ...
Medical Xpress / CAR T cell therapy targets key mutation driving rare blood cancers
A new form of CAR T-cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while leaving healthy blood cells ...
Phys.org / France deaths rose by 30% during heat wave
France endured a rise of nearly 30% in the number of deaths recorded during the week starting June 22, as a record-breaking heat wave linked to climate change gripped much of Europe, health authorities said Friday.
Medical Xpress / Genetic differences affecting toddler activity levels are also associated with ADHD
A toddler's activity levels are influenced by genetic differences, with some of the same genetic markers also linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the University of Surrey. ...
Phys.org / Modest meat and dairy cuts could help Scotland lower emissions and keep diets affordable
Modest changes to meat and dairy consumption could help Scotland meet climate goals while improving health and nutrition, research shows. A modeling study appearing in Nature Food found that using vegetables, beans and eggs ...
Tech Xplore / AI race weakens climate pledges at Google, Amazon

Medical Xpress / Infant iron supplements linked to fewer behavior problems at age three
Healthy, breastfed infants who receive iron supplementation show fewer aggressive behaviors at age 3 compared with children who did not receive supplementation, according to new research from Umeå University. However, more ...
Tech Xplore / New 4D-printing method creates lighter, faster-spinning wind turbine blades
A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and easier to produce. Using a process known as 4D printing of composites, Ph.D. candidate Emad Fakhimi ...
Medical Xpress / Neurologist helps develop global certification to improve rehabilitation for stroke survivors
A UTHealth Houston neurologist was among a group of two dozen health care professionals from across the globe who developed an international certification program designed to improve rehabilitation care among stroke survivors.
Medical Xpress / Innovative soft robotic heart offers new way to study disease and test life-saving devices
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices ...
