Phys.org / Messy backyard gardens could help save biodiversity, but who wants one?
A new study from North Carolina State University researchers finds that attraction to biodiversity, also known as biophilia, may vary broadly between individuals rather than being a consistent trait that all people share.
Phys.org / As world gets hotter, Americans are turning to more sugar, study finds
Global warming in the United States is amping up the country's sweet tooth, a new study found.
Medical Xpress / AI matches dermatologists in assessing common skin cancer
A simple AI model has been shown to perform on a par with experienced dermatologists when assessing the aggressiveness of a common form of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma. The research was headed by the University of ...
Phys.org / AI tool helps astronomers find supernovae in a sky full of noise
A new AI-powered tool has reduced astronomers' workload by 85%—filtering through thousands of data alerts to identify the few genuine signals caused by supernovae (powerful explosions from dying stars). The findings are ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers may have found a way to limit the debilitating damage strokes can cause
With limited treatment options for stroke patients available, two UConn researchers are developing an experimental drug that is capable of protecting the brain and improving recovery after a cerebral vascular accident also ...
Medical Xpress / How adding sprints to your usual jogs can boost the health benefits of running
Running has a huge number of benefits. The popular workout can prevent disease, improve mental health and even slow the biological aging process.
Phys.org / Getting to the root of tree survival
Two consecutive dry years in South Australia have put extreme stress on urban trees and shrubs, with Flinders University experts examining degrees of dieback in Adelaide trees affected by the dry conditions.
Phys.org / Climate change is driving fish stocks from countries' waters to the high seas, study finds
Fish and other marine organisms, though deeply affected by human activities, don't respect human borders. The ranges of many commercially important species in fact straddle the borders of countries' exclusive economic zones ...
Medical Xpress / Soft robot intubation device, designed specifically for non-expert users, could save lives
Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient's life. However, creating this airway through ...
Phys.org / Spatial patterns of Tianshui's folk fortresses show how local landscapes shaped community defense
A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically mapped and analyzed the cultural landscape of historical folk fortresses in Tianshui, a city in ...
Phys.org / Research reveals how microplastics threaten Gulf of Mexico marine life
Critical wildlife habitats are exposed to pollution risk in the seas off the southern United States, with implications for human health and food security. "Most of the pollution comes from rivers and not from wastewater treatment ...
Phys.org / The science of spaghetti: Neutron scattering explains why gluten-free pasta falls apart
Using small angle neutron and X-ray scattering, researchers from the European Spallation Source and RWTH Aachen University have compared the nanostructure of gluten-free and normal spaghetti, finding that the kind with gluten ...
