Phys.org / Rebuilding trust in global climate mitigation scenarios
Global climate mitigation scenarios shape real-world policy choices of who cuts emissions, who pays, and who benefits from climate action. A new IIASA-led essay published in PLOS Climate identifies how these influential tools ...
Medical Xpress / Genes within uterine gland cells shed light on potential causes of infertility
Even in the best-case scenario, when fertility clinics transfer chromosomally normal embryos into a would-be mother's uterus, the procedure only leads to a live birth half of the time. Some embryo transfers result in a pregnancy, ...
Phys.org / Green or not, US energy future depends on Native nations
The Trump administration's drive to increase domestic production of fossil fuels and mining of key minerals likely cannot be accomplished without a key constituency: Native nations.
Tech Xplore / BMW recalls hundreds of thousands of cars over fire risk
German carmaker BMW is to recall hundreds of thousands of cars worldwide over a potential risk of engine starters sparking a fire, a company spokesman confirmed to AFP Wednesday.
Phys.org / Egalitarianism among hunter-gatherers? What a food-sharing experiment reveals about self-interest
Hunter-gatherers like the Hadza of Tanzania are famous for their egalitarianism. A resource redistribution experiment conducted with the Hadza suggests many tolerate inequality—as long as it benefits themselves. Published ...
Medical Xpress / In comparing real-world costs and benefits of fibromyalgia medications, a clear winner emerges
Fibromyalgia is a long-term chronic condition that causes widespread pain in the muscles and soft tissues throughout the body. The illness can affect people of all ages and has a major impact on quality of life, often making ...
Medical Xpress / From bench to bedside—research in mice leads to answers for undiagnosed human neurodevelopmental conditions
Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice, and its role in brain development. During this time, they learned a great deal about the function ...
Medical Xpress / Gamma-synced brain stimulation can nudge people to behave less selfishly
Stimulating two brain areas, nudging them to collectively fire in the same way, increases a person's ability to behave altruistically, according to a study published in the PLOS Biology by Jie Hu from East China Normal University ...
Medical Xpress / Combining AI with optical coherence tomography shows potential for detecting lipid-rich plaques in coronary arteries
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based approach for detecting fatty deposits inside coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Because these lipid-rich plaques are strongly ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrafast nanolasers mimic how the brain imagines unseen parts of the world
A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world. The study, ...
Phys.org / Why Aristotle would hate Valentine's Day, and his five steps to love
Valentine's Day is traditionally a time of heart-shaped balloons, overpriced roses and fully booked restaurants. Couples kiss and hold hands, smiling selfies celebrate a day of public displays of devotion.
Phys.org / Researchers rebuild microscopic circadian clock that can control genes
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with jet lag and daylight saving ...
