Phys.org / Bubble netting knowledge spread by immigrant humpback whales, study finds
New research from the University of St Andrews has found that the social spread of group bubble-net feeding among humpback whales is crucial to the success of the population's ongoing recovery.
Medical Xpress / Patients struggle to measure blood pressure at home, study finds
Despite guideline recommendations and improved access to care, individuals with hypertension are unlikely to measure their blood pressure at home as often as recommended, according to data from researchers at Mass General ...
Phys.org / New cryogenic vacuum chamber cuts noise for quantum ion trapping
Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller than Earth's magnetic field, can be catastrophic for quantum computing experiments with trapped ions.
Medical Xpress / Redefining the role of neutrophils to open new avenues for cancer and inflammation therapies
Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and Yale University (U.S.) have published a comprehensive review article in the journal Cell that proposes ...
Phys.org / Strategic sex: Alaska's beluga whales swap mates for long-term survival
In the icy waters of Alaska's Bristol Bay, a new study reveals how a small population of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) survive the long haul through a surprising strategy: they mate with multiple partners over several ...
Tech Xplore / Mistaken correlations: Why it's critical to move beyond overly aggregated machine-learning metrics
MIT researchers have identified significant examples of machine-learning model failure when those models are applied to data other than what they were trained on, raising questions about the need to test whenever a model ...
Medical Xpress / AI can predict preemies' paths based on blood spot data
An artificial intelligence-based tool can predict the medical trajectories of individual premature newborns from blood samples collected soon after they are born, a Stanford Medicine-led study has shown.

A recently identified tree species in Queensland has been given the name "zombie" by scientists who say ambitious assistance is needed to reverse its "living dead" status.
Phys.org / New structural insights reveal how human respiratory chain complexes assemble
A new study shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped late steps in the formation of the human respirasome, a large protein assembly that ...
Phys.org / Meta-study reveals mechanisms of animals' adaptations to cope with climate change
Climate change has a wide range of effects on wildlife. It affects seasonal migration, reproduction times, body size and mass, and disrupts ecological processes, thereby posing challenges for the populations of some species. ...
