Medical Xpress / UN publication reveals 4 in 10 adults in England take no action to protect themselves in response to heat alerts
As temperatures continue to soar and amber heat-health alerts are issued across England, warnings are reaching the public but still failing to change behavior. A new investigation by United Nations University experts finds ...
Medical Xpress / Older Hispanic adults buffered against social isolation despite higher rates of sensory disabilities, study finds
Social isolation is a growing public health concern linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, infectious disease, depression, anxiety and even premature death. Older adults report the highest rates ...
Tech Xplore / Twitch sparks gamers' wrath with Amazon AI sharing deal
Livestream gaming giant Twitch has raised hackles among its millions of users after declaring it will share their data with its parent company, Amazon, to better train the online retailer's AI models.
Phys.org / New optical method reveals internal dynamics of elusive Wigner crystals
Researchers at the University of Basel and the Technical University of Munich have developed a new method to reveal the collective motion of electrons in one of the most elusive states of matter: the Wigner crystal. Using ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover cellular mechanism driving both rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of California San Diego and their colleagues have identified a key cellular pathway that drives brain degeneration in both a rare childhood disorder and the far more common Alzheimer's disease. ...
Phys.org / XENONnT detector narrows the hunt for dark matter
Using a detector filled with nearly 9 metric tons of liquid xenon, researchers have delivered some of the most sensitive dark matter results ever recorded. In the latest analysis from the XENON collaboration, working at the ...
Phys.org / Europe swelters under fresh wave of extreme heat
Millions of people across Europe—particularly in France, Italy, Spain and Britain—baked through a new wave of extreme temperatures Thursday as the continent's latest heat wave picked up.
Phys.org / Himalayan grain demonstrates the potential of pangenome-guided breeding for higher yields and adaptability
Scientists from the Centre for Crop and Food Innovation (CCFI) at Murdoch University have participated in a landmark proof-of-concept research project demonstrating how pangenome-guided breeding strategies can reunite two ...
Phys.org / Distant time crystals oscillate in unison, paving the way for spin networks
