Medical Xpress / Differences in family perspectives guide quality of life after pediatric liver transplant, study finds
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered a new way to understand how children fare after liver transplantation: by focusing not on medical test results, but on how differently parents and ...
Medical Xpress / Therapeutic climbing lifts mood and sharpens focus for inpatients with depression, anxiety and OCD
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and Schoen Clinic Roseneck report that structured therapeutic climbing sessions were experienced as emotionally lifting, mentally focusing, socially connecting, and physically strengthening ...
Phys.org / Charles Darwin's address book: A new window into his private world
The Darwin Online project at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has published for the first time: Charles Darwin's personal Address Book. It offers an astonishingly personal glimpse into the life and work of the great ...
Medical Xpress / More muscle, less belly fat can slow brain aging
Researchers have found that a specific body profile—higher muscle mass combined with a lower visceral fat to muscle ratio—tracks with a younger brain age, according to a study being presented next week at the annual meeting ...
Phys.org / Mirror symmetry prompts ultralow magnetic damping in 2D van der Waals ferromagnets
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held together by weak attractive forces known as vdW forces. These materials have proved to be promising ...
Phys.org / 'Chocolate-flavored' honey created using cocoa bean shells
A group of researchers from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, developed a product made from native bee honey and cocoa bean shells that can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient ...
Phys.org / Vertical hunting helps wild cats coexist in Guatemala's forests, study finds
A new study reveals that four wild cat species living in the same rainforest habitat in Guatemala reduce competition for food by hunting in different vertical zones, some in trees and others on the ground.
Phys.org / Nanoflowers rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their mitochondria
Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across medicine.
Phys.org / Scientists track recent solar flare disruptions in Earth's ionosphere
As this month's string of powerful X-class solar flares sparked brilliant auroras that lit up skies across an unusually wide swath of the globe—from northern Europe to Florida—researchers at NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial ...
Phys.org / Maybe that's not liquid water on Mars after all
Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far less probable. However, the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) detected ...
Phys.org / Bright squeezed vacuum reveals hidden quantum effects in strong-field physics
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.
Phys.org / The Suez Rift—once deemed inactive—is still drifting, study reveals
The tectonic plates under Africa and Asia are slowly drifting apart, as the Gulf of Suez that separates these two land masses continues to widen at a rate of about 0.26–0.55 millimeters per year.
