President Donald Trump appears to have upended an 85-year relationship between American farmers and the United States' global exercise of power. But that link has been fraying since the end of the Cold War, and Trump's moves ...
Phys.org / Living together with differences: Mathematical model shows how to reduce social friction without forcing consensus
Opinion polarization is often considered as the primary driver of social friction, leading to exhaustive efforts to force a consensus. However, new research suggests a more pragmatic goal: reducing the friction of disagreement ...
Phys.org / Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, ...
Phys.org / Indoor ozone reaction products can make blood thicker
Ozone that protects us from the sun's harmful UV rays, when in an indoor space, reacts with oils present on skin, wall paint, or even cooking oil to produce chemicals that negatively impact cardiovascular health.
Medical Xpress / New coffee chemicals show promise for managing type 2 diabetes
Coffee may do more than boost energy. New research suggests that certain compounds found in roasted coffee beans could help slow how quickly sugar enters the bloodstream, a finding that could one day support new foods aimed ...
Phys.org / Getting into university is only the first hurdle for students from rural South Africa. Here's what comes next
As universities in South Africa prepare to admit a new group of students, thousands of young people from rural parts of the country hope for a life-changing opportunity.
Phys.org / Experts call for rethink of global sustainable development agenda as 2030 deadline looms
As the world approaches the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with fewer than 1 in 5 targets on track, researchers warn that the next global framework risks repeating the same mistakes unless it ...
Phys.org / How astronauts will fix their gear using thin air
Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, will be an absolutely critical technology for any long-term settlement on another world. Its ability to take a generic input, such as plastic strips or metal powder, ...
Phys.org / Detecting single-electron qubits: Microwaves could probe quantum states above liquid helium
One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily.
Phys.org / Crime against wildlife is surging in Australia. These four reforms can help tackle it
Around the world, wildlife and environmental crime is surging. It is estimated to be the fourth largest organized transnational crime sector, and to be growing at a rate two to three times faster than the global economy.
Medical Xpress / NHS patient records used to create first map of diseases linked to eczema
Analyzing patient health care notes recorded during millions of medical appointments at GPs and hospitals across England has allowed researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) to map the entire ...
Phys.org / Sugarcane hits the sweet spot for sustainable carbon
When anyone talks about the future of sustainable aviation fuel, one question dominates: how do we replace fossil carbon without compromising food security or biodiversity? Experience leads some researchers to believe the ...
