Phys.org / Miami's largest tree canopies deliver most cooling, monitoring data suggests
People rarely give much thought to the trees around them—until there aren't any. Not when they're driving past them. Not when they're scrolling on a park bench. But on a sweltering Miami afternoon, when the sidewalk feels ...
Phys.org / Making computer science more accessible beyond English
When Siddhartha Jayanti sat down to write the first computer science paper in Telugu, an Indian language with approximately 100 million speakers, he realized he first had to solve a problem that had little to do with computing. ...
Phys.org / River shipping emits nearly one-quarter of global shipping CO₂, analysis finds
River and canal ships generate roughly a quarter of the world's shipping carbon dioxide emissions, according to new research published in Nature Climate Change. And that's despite the fact that these bodies of water make ...
Medical Xpress / Air pollution linked to distinct brain changes in regions vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease
Exposure to common forms of outdoor air pollution may be linked to structural changes in brain regions that are especially vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study led by researchers from the USC Mark and ...
Science X / Why eye contact may help babies learn: A hidden link between two brains
Have you ever noticed how babies get hooked the moment someone makes eye contact with them? That eye contact is not only cute; it may also send a powerful message to a baby. For years, scientists have been investigating whether ...
