Medical Xpress / Detection of bowel cancer marker in wastewater may offer new early warning system
Detection of a bowel cancer marker (CDH1) in wastewater may offer a new community-level early warning system for the disease, suggests a proof-of-concept study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. ...
Medical Xpress / Extra belly weight, not BMI, is a stronger predictor of heart failure risk, inflammation: Study
New research suggests that measures of excess weight around the waist (central obesity or visceral fat) may increase the risk of heart failure primarily due to inflammation, according to findings presented at the American ...
Phys.org / Huge dinosaur bone may reveal the origins of T. rex
Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most recognizable names of the dinosaur world, a hulking and terrifying meat-eating behemoth. While fossil remains have been extensively studied, not much is known about its family history ...
Phys.org / Astronomers capture birth of a magnetar, confirming link to some of universe's brightest exploding stars
Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the cosmos. The finding ...
Phys.org / Tsunami risks in the Mediterranean: Why Nice should prepare an evacuation plan
The Mediterranean Sea is widely perceived as having a low tsunami risk. History and recent modeling technology have demonstrated that destructive waves have already hit the French coast and could do so again. The results ...
Medical Xpress / A step towards a first global system to track health before pregnancy
The key health and social indicators needed for a new global system to monitor people's health before pregnancy have been identified for the first time by researchers at University College London and the University of Southampton. ...
Phys.org / Social background shapes how hard children work at school, according to study
Which children work harder at school, and what do their efforts have to do with their social background? Until now, educational research has been unable to provide empirically based answers to this question. However, a new ...
Phys.org / Engineered anhydrobiotic cells detect odors after years of dry, room-temperature storage
Demand for odor detection is growing in diverse fields such as food security, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, but current technologies face limitations. Living cells with olfactory receptors can serve as ...
Tech Xplore / Dual electrode system cracks seawater electrolysis deposit problem
A research team led by Dr. Ji-Hyung Han from the Convergence Research Center of Sector Coupling & Integration at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a new seawater electrolysis system that overcomes ...
Phys.org / Largest UK study to date uncovers hidden chemical risks in waste-to-energy residues
Energy-from-waste facilities are often positioned as a cleaner alternative to landfill, transforming rubbish into electricity and reducing the UK's waste burden. But new research suggests that there may be a hidden cost to ...
Phys.org / Scientists confirm existence of molecule long believed to occur in oxidation
In the journal Science Advances, scientists in Sweden and the U.S. report the first-ever direct observation of a type of short-lived molecule that has shaped decades of thinking in atmospheric chemistry, combustion research ...
Phys.org / 'Spiderman' cells trap viral genomes in their web
Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These cells defend our bodies from the early stages of viral infection by synthesizing a sticky "web" to ...
