Recently, the German term "lüften" has been circulating on social media and trending on Google. The term refers to the practice of opening windows and doors to replace stale indoor air with outdoor air, a longtime practice ...
Medical Xpress / Single-shot HIV vaccine candidate induces neutralizing antibodies for the first time
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing neutralizing antibodies against HIV after a single immunization in nonhuman primates. ...
Medical Xpress / 'Celtic curse' genetic disease hotspots revealed in UK and Ireland
People from the Outer Hebrides and north-west Ireland have the highest risk of developing a genetic disease that causes a dangerous build-up of iron in the body, a study published in the journal Nature Communications suggests.
Medical Xpress / Doctors increasingly see AI scribes in a positive light: But hiccups persist
When Jeannine Urban went in for a checkup in November, she had her doctor's full attention. Instead of typing on her computer keyboard during the exam, Urban's primary care physician at the Penn Internal Medicine practice ...
Medical Xpress / Maternal anemia, erythrocytosis linked to neonatal morbidity and mortality
In a high-income setting, maternal anemia and relative erythrocytosis are associated with severe neonatal morbidity and mortality (SNM-M), according to a study published online Feb. 3 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Phys.org / Superconductivity exposes altermagnetism by breaking symmetries, study suggests
How are superconductivity and magnetism connected? A puzzling relation between magnetism and superconductivity in a quantum material has lingered for decades—now, a study from TU Wien offers a surprising new explanation.
Phys.org / A hearing test for the world's rarest sea turtle: Understanding its vulnerability to human-caused noise
Kemp's ridley sea turtles are among the most endangered species of sea turtles in the world. They reside along the east and Gulf coasts of North America, alongside some of the world's most active shipping lanes. While the ...
Dialog / Infrared running of gravity offers a field-theoretic route to dark matter phenomena
The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new particles, I propose ...
Tech Xplore / I studied 10 years of Instagram posts—here's how social media has changed
Instagram is one of Australia's most popular social media platforms. Almost two in three Aussies have an account.
Phys.org / Accurately predicting Arctic sea ice in real time
Arctic sea ice has large effects on the global climate. By cooling the planet, Arctic ice impacts ocean circulation, atmospheric patterns, and extreme weather conditions, even outside the Arctic region. However, climate change ...
Phys.org / Tropical weather cycles linked to faster Arctic ice loss in autumn
When it comes to global warming and climate change, we often hear news stories about tipping points where Earth's systems shift into a new and dangerous state. One such may have been reached in the year 2000 that caused tropical ...
Phys.org / Focusing and defocusing light without a lens: First demonstration of the structured Montgomery effect in free space
Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, all without the use of ...
