Phys.org / For biodiversity to thrive across Europe, laws should treat wildlife as individuals capable of suffering, experts argue
Wildlife protection frameworks in both the EU and the UK need stronger and more consistent implementation—and must recognize animals as "individuals capable of experiencing suffering," rather than mere ecological assets.
Medical Xpress / Venture capital investments increasingly shaping innovation in radiology
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) suggests that venture capital (VC) is playing a significant and growing role in driving innovation in radiology. The study, "Venture Capital ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop key technology to make personalized AI safer
The era of building "personalized AI" by training AI models on individual or corporate documents and data is beginning. However, while such customization can improve task performance, it can also weaken a model's existing ...
Phys.org / In the battle of the sexes, the pay gap persists
Conceived by famed sociologist Paula England in the mid-1990s, occupational devaluation theory helps explain why workers in occupations with more women get paid less than workers in occupations with more men.
Phys.org / Hidden fifth dimension could tune dark matter resonance, new theory proposes
The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be "in tune" with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new University of Sheffield theory aiming to shed light on one of science's biggest enigmas: ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover rare freshwater mussels in Moosup River
When University of Rhode Island researchers slipped beneath the surface of the Moosup River recently, they did not expect to find a living freshwater mussel community. The discovery marked the first documented record of freshwater ...
Medical Xpress / Shape-shifting drug hits tumors in multiple ways, improves outcomes in mice
Modern anticancer medications that combine tumor-fighting drugs with proteins that specifically target cancer cells are a relatively new class of drugs, often given to patients for whom standard chemotherapy has not worked. ...
Medical Xpress / First animal behavior test shows contactless cochlear stimulation can mimic sound
A new study using Mongolian gerbils as an animal model demonstrated for the first time that trans-tympanic infrared laser stimulation of the cochlea evokes reliable auditory-guided behavior in awake animals without the need ...
Tech Xplore / India launches first hydrogen-powered train in clean energy push
India launched its first hydrogen-powered train Friday, joining a small group of nations testing the technology as part of efforts to decarbonize rail transport and cut dependence on fossil fuels.
Medical Xpress / ECT-like stimulation unlocks lasting immature-like state in adult mouse neurons
A research team at Fujita Health University led by Professor Tsuyoshi Miyakawa has uncovered a novel mechanism of cellular plasticity in which repeated neuronal stimulation can durably alter the identity of mature neurons. ...
Phys.org / Roman telescope will spot distant black holes that shred stars
How do black holes at the centers of galaxies form and grow over time? To answer this question, scientists need to detect and study supermassive black holes at great distances that existed much earlier in the universe's history. ...
Phys.org / Biodiversity boosts productivity most during extreme drought in drier grasslands
When extreme drought strikes, drier grasslands receive the greatest productivity benefit from biodiversity. By contrast, forests did not show the same context-dependent pattern under drought, according to a new global synthesis ...
