Phys.org / New study reveals why global IT strategies change shape on the ground—and what leaders can do about it
A new academic study suggests that global IT strategies are often adapted at local level—and that understanding why requires paying close attention to culture, not just systems and structures. Published in the Qualitative ...
Medical Xpress / Heart attack deaths rose between 2011 and 2022 among adults younger than age 55, study finds
A new study found that heart attack deaths were up among younger adults, with women more likely than men to die after a first heart attack. According to new research published in a Go Red for Women spotlight issue of the ...
Phys.org / The bouba-kiki effect: Baby chicks match sounds to shapes just like humans
When we hear certain sounds, our brains often pair them with specific shapes. For example, most people will associate a sharp-sounding word with a jagged, pointed shape, while a soft, rolling word is linked to something smooth ...
Phys.org / AI model analyzes 52 factors to flag extinction risks for 10,000 fish species
Whether it's redfin pickerel in the Kennebec River or sturgeon in the Great Lakes, nearly one-third of freshwater fish species are facing possible extinction, threatening food supplies, ecosystems and outdoor recreation. ...
Medical Xpress / First national report finds strengths, gaps in emergency care for children before they reach the hospital
A new national study shows that while many emergency medical services (EMS) agencies across the United States are well-equipped to care for children, important gaps remain in training, quality improvement, and coordination ...
Tech Xplore / New system designed to protect drones from cyber threats
Adelaide University researchers have initiated the development of a world-first cybersecurity system designed to protect drones from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The new study led by the Industrial AI Research ...

Spanish astronomers have conducted a near-infrared study of an ultra-high energy gamma-ray source designated LHAASO J2108+5157. The new study, published February 11 on the arXiv preprint server, tries to unravel the mysterious ...
Phys.org / Nine-city study finds richer neighborhoods get more sidewalk shade
One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees. In cities, as studies have documented, more tree cover lowers surface temperatures and heat-related health risks. However, as a new study led by MIT researchers ...
Tech Xplore / 'Smartphone-only' internet access deepens digital inequality, study finds
A new study examining digital behavior in Taiwan suggests that simply having internet access is no longer enough to ensure digital inclusion—a finding with growing implications for the United States as governments, schools, ...
Phys.org / Water is bed bugs' kryptonite: The parasites avoid wet surfaces at all costs
Humans tend to fear bed bugs, and rightly so. The bloodsuckers are tough to get rid of once they've entered a home. But new research has, for the first time, identified one thing the bugs seem to fear—water and wet surfaces.
