Phys.org / Fear or dread? How intensity of emotion may shape climate policy support
New research has found that we are more likely to back policies aimed at tackling climate change when we feel fearful, but feelings of dread make us less likely to support such policies.
Phys.org / Extraterrestrial strategy: How the US could achieve energy dominance in space
Energy is fundamentally important—researchers have linked a lack of reliable energy to poor physical health, poor mental health and higher mortality rates. But when astronauts push the boundaries of space exploration, energy ...
Phys.org / By The Numbers: A look at European rocket Ariane 64's maiden launch
Europe's Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to make a powerful debut with a new equipment configuration Thursday, flying with four boosters to carry Amazon's internet satellites.
Phys.org / Noise pollution is affecting birds' reproduction, stress levels and more: The good news is we can fix it
New research led by the University of Michigan is painting a more comprehensive picture of how noise pollution is impacting birds around the world. "The major takeaway from this study is that anthropogenic noise affects many ...
Medical Xpress / Specific brain signals rapidly eliminate body fat in mice
Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified a potent pathway that begins in the brain and leads to loss of all body fat without reducing food intake. The study is reported in Nature Metabolism.
Medical Xpress / Rejuvenating neurons restores learning and memory in mice
Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their connections, a property called ...
Phys.org / The evolutionary trap that keeps rove beetles alive
Rove beetles have evolved a neat trick to survive. They cloak themselves in ant pheromones, allowing them to enter and remain undetected within ant colonies. But it comes with a catch. Once a rove beetle lineage evolves this ...
Phys.org / How an ancient seafloor turned Arkansas into 'Sharkansas,' a shark fossil hotspot
Most shark fossils are just teeth—their cartilage skeletons usually decay long before they can fossilize. But in northwestern Arkansas, a series of geological sites known as the Fayetteville Shale has preserved dozens of ...
Medical Xpress / Key gene behind drug resistance in small cell lung cancer identified
A research team has discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Their study shows that the silencing of the RASA4 gene through epigenetic mechanisms ...
Medical Xpress / Antibody-drug conjugate achieves high response rates as frontline treatment in aggressive, rare blood cancer
Seventy-five percent of patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) who were treated with the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) pivekimab sunirine (PVEK) had a complete response, according to new data from ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find link between higher levels of air pollution and dengue-related deaths
A research team including a Keele scientist has found that countries with higher levels of air pollution were also more likely to have higher numbers of deaths from dengue, a rapidly expanding disease spread by mosquitoes. ...
Tech Xplore / Next-generation batteries could redefine the future of energy storage
Drawing on an extensive survey of emerging battery chemistries and design innovations, researchers at the University of Sharjah are pointing to transformative technologies poised to meet the escalating energy demands of an ...
