Phys.org / Climate messaging sways minds, not wallets, regardless of political party
In a study involving more than 13,000 participants in the U.S., several messaging strategies were shown to move the needle—albeit slightly—in attempts to strengthen pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors regarding ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers demonstrate smallest all-printed infrared photodetectors to date
A research team led by Professor Leo Tianshuo Zhao from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Hong Kong (HKU), has developed the world's smallest fully printed ...
Phys.org / Marine regression emerges as key driver of Late Paleozoic Ice Age in high-resolution model
Earth system box models are essential tools for reconstructing long-term climatic and environmental evolution and uncovering Earth system mechanisms. To overcome the spatiotemporal resolution limitations of current deep-time ...
Phys.org / Single-atom photocatalyst enables green, oxidant-free C–H cross-coupling reactions
Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables oxidant-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions between ring-shaped aromatic molecules ...
Medical Xpress / Thoracic surgeon explains the health impact of poor air quality, including from wildfire smoke
The rise in wildfires globally brings into sharp focus how such disasters increasingly threaten our health and security. One question many people ask is how poor air quality could be harming their health.
Phys.org / Earliest, hottest galaxy cluster gas on record challenges cosmological models
An international team of astronomers led by Canadian researchers has found something the universe wasn't supposed to have: a galaxy cluster blazing with hot gas just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier and hotter ...
Phys.org / Roads can become more dangerous on hot days—especially for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
During heat waves, everyday life tends to feel more difficult than on an average day. Travel and daily movement are no exception.
Tech Xplore / Manganese gets its moment as a potential fuel cell catalyst
The road to a more sustainable planet may be partially paved with manganese. According to a new study by researchers at Yale and the University of Missouri, chemical catalysts containing manganese—an abundant, inexpensive ...
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy 'switch' may offer non-addictive pain relief
A preclinical study uncovered a new gene therapy that targets pain centers in the brain while eliminating the risk of addiction from narcotics treatments, a breakthrough which could provide hope for the more than 50 million ...
Medical Xpress / Want to speed brain research? It's all in how you look at it.
To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes.
Phys.org / Researchers develop non-destructive spectrometry technique for analyzing fragile archaeological ivory
A research team led by Prof. Wang Zhenyou at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) has developed a microscopic time-gated Raman spectrometer capable of non-destructive, micrometer-scale ...
Medical Xpress / Pain-sensing neurons kick-start immune responses that drive allergies and asthma
Pain-sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine. The findings, published in Nature, suggest that current drugs may not ...
