Phys.org / Christians and Zoroastrians coexisted peacefully in 5th-century Iraq, archaeologists suggest
The team of archaeologists led by Dr. Alexander Tamm (FAU, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) and Prof. Dirk Wicke (Institute of Archaeological Sciences, Goethe University Frankfurt) has returned from its ...
Medical Xpress / Guideline-concordant care rate in seniors is approximately 60% after positive lung cancer screen
Among persons with a first positive lung cancer screening result at age 65 years or older, the rate of guideline-concordant care is 59.7% overall, according to a study published online Dec. 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Medical Xpress / For Black women with breast cancer, ultra-processed foods may worsen health outcomes
A study by Rutgers Cancer Institute researchers is the first to link ultra-processed foods to reduced survival in Black women with breast cancer.
Medical Xpress / 40% of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity, study suggests
For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the way fMRI data have so ...
Phys.org / Acid-treated carbon nanotubes boost efficiency and stability of flexible perovskite solar modules
Flexible perovskite solar modules (f-PSMs) are a key innovation in current renewable energy technology, offering a pathway toward sustainable and efficient energy solutions. However, ensuring long-term operational stability ...
Phys.org / Ultrashort laser pulses catch a snapshot of a 'molecular handshake'
Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule becomes surrounded by a restless crowd of water molecules. Inside living cells, the picture is even ...
Phys.org / Iconic 'Little Foot' fossil may be new type of human ancestor
An international study led by researchers from Australia's La Trobe University and the University of Cambridge has challenged the classification of one of the world's most complete human ancestral fossils, raising the possibility ...
Phys.org / Low-temperature greenhouse gas conversion: Direct current reveals charge-driven mechanism
Catalytic dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers a promising strategy for the sustainable utilization of greenhouse gases, CH4 and CO2. However, its practical application has long been hampered by severe catalyst deactivation ...
Phys.org / Food companies' reports overlook key environmental harms beyond climate impact
Imagine a glossy sustainability report from a global food giant. Green fields, smiling farmers, promises of climate neutrality. It looks great. But behind the façade lies an uncomfortable truth: the biggest environmental ...
Phys.org / AI and underwater recordings reveal bowhead whale breeding grounds in Arctic sea ice
If bowhead whales produce particularly varied and diverse calls in one area, it is very likely that the area is a breeding ground. The species occurs exclusively in the Arctic Ocean and is therefore endemic to this region.
Phys.org / NASA's Roman telescope will observe thousands of newfound cosmic voids
Our universe is filled with galaxies, in all directions as far as our instruments can see. Some researchers estimate that there are as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. At first glance, these galaxies ...
Phys.org / How the ocean's most abundant bacteria diversify into ecologically distinct groups
A study led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) has revealed critical new details about one of the ocean's most abundant life forms—SAR11 marine bacteria. Understanding ...
