Phys.org / Sharks and torpedo rays wash up dead along Cape Cod: 'Very sad'
It's been a busy time for marine wildlife rescuers and researchers, as more sharks were recently found dead along the Cape shoreline.
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular glue' stabilizes protein that inhibits development of non-small cell lung cancer
Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Over 80% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers, in which tumor cells are larger and grow more slowly than ...
Phys.org / Signature of climate change: Nearly half of harmful wildfire smoke exposure linked to human-caused warming
Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s—that much is clear. Surprisingly less clear are the exact reasons why: While greenhouse gas-related ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop real-time membrane imaging for sustainable water filtration
CU Boulder researchers have introduced a solution to improving the performance of large-scale desalination plants: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
Phys.org / Ocean sediments are key to survival of northeastern US salt marshes
Salt marshes, those critical habitats that protect coastal towns from flooding, store massive amounts of blue carbon, support fisheries and play a key role in ecological resilience, are struggling to survive as oceans rise ...
Medical Xpress / Shopping centers can support mental health and relieve loneliness
Did you leave your Christmas shopping to the last minute? Dreading the thought of dragging yourself to the shopping center? Fighting for a parking spot, figuring out which floor you need, enduring the headache-inducing lighting ...
Medical Xpress / Obesity and inflammation may accelerate lung aging and increase the risk of COPD
A Brazilian study involving nearly 900 participants under the age of 40 reinforces the idea that premature lung aging is linked not only to smoking but also to factors such as obesity and systemic inflammation. These two ...
Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
Phys.org / TillerPET: An AI model for high-throughput phenotyping of rice tiller traits
In a new study published in The Crop Journal on November 7, researchers developed an AI model named TillerPET that enables simultaneous in-situ high-throughput phenotyping of tiller number and compactness from post-harvest ...
Phys.org / Storms in the Southern Ocean absorb more atmospheric heat than climate models predict
Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that today's climate models underestimate how storms mix the ...
Medical Xpress / Teen drug use remains low, but survey finds small rise in heroin and cocaine use
Teen use of alcohol, nicotine and marijuana remains at record lows, according to national survey results released Wednesday.
Phys.org / Vital intertwining: Blood parasite's chainmail-like DNA structure could inspire next-generation materials
As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each other. Studying it can ...
