Medical Xpress / Simple urine test could guide kidney-protective treatment choices in type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, making prevention of kidney failure a key part of treatment. Newer diabetes medications, including GLP-1s and SGLT2 inhibitors, can reduce the risk of kidney disease, ...
Phys.org / Earthshot and the science of positive tipping points: How environmental progress can become unstoppable
It must be tough being a judge for the world's most prestigious environmental prize: Imagine having to choose between an ingenious machine that removes microplastics from a river in Europe or a company in East Africa that ...
Phys.org / Scientists create 'super ice' that is ten times stronger and far harder to shatter
Ice is cheap, abundant and surprisingly strong. But it has one major weakness: Cracks can race through it, causing it to shatter without warning. Now, scientists have developed a new material that could overcome that problem. ...
Phys.org / Home advantage or pastures new? High-Arctic shorebirds rarely return to the same breeding area
Shorebirds are capable of some of the longest migrations on Earth, yet most return year after year to the same area to breed. Coming back has distinct advantages, including knowing the best spots to feed or roost, having ...

A research team led by Professor Daehee Park of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST, in collaboration with a research team from KAIST, has developed a learning technique that enables a single ...
Phys.org / Physicists help uncover 'spooky' quantum effect in the Large Hadron Collider
Physicists at the University of Oxford have helped confirm that one of the strangest phenomena in physics—quantum entanglement—occurs even among some of the heaviest and most fleeting particles ever created. The discovery, ...
Phys.org / Robots and AI uncover unexpected pathway in classic 135-year-old chemical reaction
Chemical reactions are often written as simple equations: Starting materials go in, and a product comes out. In reality, the same substrates can follow many different pathways depending on their concentrations, temperature, ...
