Phys.org / How countries can build effective DNA barcoding networks
Aligning with the International Day for Biological Diversity's theme of "Acting locally for global impact," researchers have released a comprehensive blueprint for building a robust, globally adaptable network of DNA barcoding ...
Phys.org / Hellish Venus-like planets may be more prevalent than true exoEarths
Preliminary results of a study presented at the recent European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna indicate that hellish Venus-type planets may be about twice as common as habitable planets that form with oceans.
Medical Xpress / Deadly DR Congo Ebola outbreak spreads to M23-held South Kivu
An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has spread to eastern South Kivu province in an area under the control of the Rwanda-backed M23 militia, the group's spokesman said Thursday, heightening fears of the ...
Phys.org / New form of NAND flash data storage for deep space missions can survive 1 million rads
As space missions travel farther from Earth, spacecraft must increasingly be able to process and store their own data. Soon, artificial intelligence (AI) could be the primary tool for handling this growing volume of information.
Phys.org / Mars reveals first Zwan-Wolf effect deep in its atmosphere during a solar storm
In December 2023, scientists looking at Mars data stumbled across something completely unexpected—observations of an atmospheric effect never before seen in the Red Planet's atmosphere. Using instruments aboard NASA's MAVEN ...
Phys.org / How face-building genes get ready early: Genome folding may prime crucial DNA switches
Early in development, a group of migrating cells called cranial neural crest cells go on to form many different parts of the face, including the nose, jaw, ears, and throat. To build these structures correctly, genes must ...
Phys.org / Q&A: What can plant evolution teach people about breeding better crops?
Today (May 22) is United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity, drawing attention to a critical resource for developing crops that are resilient or resistant to extreme weather and other threats to their health, ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tool may help personalize multiple myeloma treatment
An artificial intelligence-based tool may help physicians determine which newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients are most likely to benefit from specific therapies, including immunotherapy and stem cell transplantation.
Medical Xpress / Modern medicine cut gut microbial diversity in remote Amazonian communities after just a few visits, study shows
Even minimal exposure to modern medicine can rapidly change the human microbiome. In a new study appearing in Cell Reports, researchers reveal that the gut microbes of remote Amazonian Indigenous communities have begun shifting ...
Phys.org / Exploring education during times of economic crisis
Major economic crises affect a country in myriad ways, often resulting in unemployment spikes, increased inequality between financial classes, housing instability, and much more. But how do they impact the educational landscape, ...
Phys.org / We analyzed the TikTok history of 142 men. Here's what it taught us about the manosphere
Interest in the manosphere has recently surged yet again, with the recent Louis Theroux documentary catapulting the term "manosphere" back to the forefront of our cultural psyche.
Phys.org / From wetland sediment, scientists uncover centuries of climate chaos—and human resilience
The climate of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean was far more turbulent than previously thought—and a new study suggests that people adapted anyway. An international team of scientists, spearheaded by UC San Diego's Center ...
