Phys.org / Tiny particles in Arctic ponds may play role in cloud formation and climate change
Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region.
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how dreams affect our emotions in day-to-day life
There are a few reasons why we might dream, say neuroscientists. Even dreams that are scary may serve a purpose: One prevalent idea is that fear in dreams could help people deal with fear in waking life, much like exposure ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds no link between medical gender reassignment and improved mental health among young people
An extensive register-based study conducted in Finland has found an increase in severe mental health problems among some adolescents and young adults who have undergone medical gender reassignment (GR). According to the research, ...
Phys.org / Integration of two genes: A valuable strategy for developing virus-resistant tomatoes
Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), caused by begomoviruses, is a global problem in tomato production, affecting yield. While introduction of resistance genes is one of the strategies to control TYLCD, introduction of ...
Medical Xpress / Artery images and nurse counseling boosted heart risk reduction over six years
When health risks become visible in black and white, perspectives often shift. A study from Umeå University shows that when ultrasound images of atherosclerosis in subjects' carotid arteries are combined with a motivational ...
Phys.org / Discarded wood helps produce hydrogen peroxide with more than 95% selectivity
Hydrogen peroxide, a versatile chemical used in a wide range of applications—from medical disinfectants to semiconductor manufacturing and water treatment—is an essential substance with global annual production exceeding ...
Phys.org / New study calls for a 'pedagogy of joy' in higher education
In a new paper published in the British Journal of Sociology of Education, University of Sheffield researchers argue that the modern university experience is increasingly defined by stifling targets and material pressures.
Phys.org / AI maps 20,000 everyday interactions to reveal how social situations are structured
Psychologists have long known that social situations profoundly influence human behavior, yet have lacked a unified, empirically grounded way to describe them. A new study addresses this problem by using generative AI to ...
Phys.org / Using atomic nuclei could allow scientists to read time more precisely than ever
Most clocks, from wristwatches to the systems that run GPS and the internet, work by tracking regular, repeating motions.
Tech Xplore / Revealing the hidden logic behind AI's judgments of people
In a world where artificial intelligence is quietly shaping who gets hired, who receives loans, and even how medical decisions are made, a new question is emerging: How does AI judge us? A new study by Prof. Yaniv Dover and ...
Phys.org / The quietest place we've ever listened from
We have been searching for signals from other civilizations for over sixty years. Radio telescopes on Earth have swept the sky, listened patiently, and found nothing but silence. It is a search that demands extraordinary ...
Phys.org / Designing better membrane proteins by embracing imperfection
Scientists at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology have uncovered a counterintuitive principle that could reshape how membrane proteins are designed from scratch: Sometimes, making a protein less stable helps it fold ...
