Medical Xpress / Low-dose eye drops can manage adult myopia for 24 hours
Groundbreaking research from the University of Houston shows that a single low-dose atropine eye drop can produce daylong effects in managing myopia, or nearsightedness, which affects roughly one-third of U.S. adults. Professor ...
Phys.org / A better way to search for extraterrestrial intelligence
When you're looking for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, it helps to know what you're looking for and to go about it in the most efficient way. But work so far has generally not done so, writes Benjamin Zuckerman, ...
Tech Xplore / Against the wind: Researchers show how flight angles affect turbulence
At high speeds, even the smallest movement can have major consequences. When an aircraft tilts sharply during flight, the air around it does not flow smoothly. It twists into powerful, swirling currents that can destabilize ...
Tech Xplore / Hidden math link helps designers build fantastic shapes
Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in some of Earth's harshest climates. And like other irregular, disordered systems, they can be difficult ...
Medical Xpress / A hidden crisis after childbirth is killing fathers, and most deaths never had to happen
It took the better part of a century for maternal mortality to be recognized, forgotten, and finally recognized again as an urgent public health crisis in the United States. In contrast, research shows fathers—particularly ...
Phys.org / Frozen-in gravity: A new way to understand the evolution of spacetime dynamics
The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many physicists worldwide. Spacetime is described mathematically as a four-dimensional (4D) continuum ...
Phys.org / Climate change increases spillover risk of rodent-borne arenaviruses, study warns
Climate change is likely to drive rodent-borne arenaviruses into parts of South America that have never faced these diseases, putting new communities of people at risk, finds a study from the University of California, Davis. ...
Phys.org / Louisiana's shrinking coast may offer world early guide to climate adaptation
A Tulane University-led team of interdisciplinary researchers says coastal Louisiana's climate-driven land loss and population shifts could position the state to become a global leader in planning for climate adaptation.
Phys.org / Male coyote swam 2 miles to Alcatraz Island, twice as far as biologists had expected
A lone coyote stunned biologists and others when it paddled its way to remote Alcatraz Island earlier this year, a former federal prison in the San Francisco Bay surrounded by swift, choppy waters notorious for thwarting ...
Phys.org / Hidden risk pushes 459 Northwest communities higher on wildfire danger scale
A new wildfire risk assessment tool that takes social vulnerability into account indicates that more than 400 communities in the Pacific Northwest are at greater risk than previously thought. However, researchers at Oregon ...
Medical Xpress / Sustained reduction in abdominal fat can preserve cognitive function
A long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire follow-up period, is associated with a significant slowing of brain atrophy, preservation of key brain ...
Phys.org / Masculine behavior bad for the planet says new research
Major new research on climate change, global warming and environmental collapse, how they connect with what men do, and what to do about it has just been published by a team including the University of Huddersfield's Professor ...
