Phys.org / Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University ...
Medical Xpress / Wildfires pose risk for premature births and low birth weight
Temperatures climb to new record highs every summer. In many parts of Europe, this marks the start of the most dangerous time of year for wildfires. What begins as a natural disaster has far-reaching consequences for the ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted IL-15 drug in patient testing revives exhausted T cells without triggering severe inflammation
For some people, cancer immunotherapies are life-changing. These treatments can turn the body's own immune system against a tumor, either eliminating it or shrinking it enough to make surgery possible. But these therapies ...
Medical Xpress / Erucamide molecule strengthens the eye's response to damage in retinal disease
Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye. Although scientists know some of the structural changes that ensue as this ...
Phys.org / Room-temperature device synchronizes distant laser spots into single coherent 'supermode'
Researchers have demonstrated a new way to make spatially separated lasers synchronize and act as a single coherent light source—without extreme conditions or complex materials.
Phys.org / Espresso 'pucks' stop behaving predictably above certain pressures
When a physics student asked baristas at the Warsaw Coffee Conference what their biggest question for scientists was, the baristas said they wanted to know how to stop channeling during brewing.
Phys.org / Arctic shipping alters cloud formation, study finds
A study led by the EPFL suggests that shipping emissions influence climate-relevant cloud formation and may affect regional climate processes far beyond the polar region.
Phys.org / How sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old
New research from the University of St. Andrews shows how sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old. An international team of researchers studying vocal dialects in the endangered ...
Medical Xpress / More than 600 schizophrenia-associated genes uncovered by network model
Schizophrenia is more complicated than ever imagined. Advanced gene network analysis reveals how distant genetic variants work together to influence brain function and mental health. Scientists have long known that schizophrenia ...
Phys.org / Graphene plasmon cavities enable advanced and scalable terahertz photodetectors
How could we noninvasively distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue? And how could we increase the speed of wireless communications? These two seemingly unrelated questions may share the same answer: terahertz (THz) ...
Phys.org / Vulnerable butterfly recorded in the Botanical Garden at Uppsala
The Botanical Garden in Uppsala was recently visited by animal ecology researchers, who conducted a BioBlitz to find, identify and record as many insects as possible in the Botanical Garden. One of the finds was an endangered ...
Tech Xplore / Ink-based thermoelectric technology could be solution for replacing problematic refrigerants
Today's refrigerants, which are specialized working fluids used in air conditioners, refrigerators and heat pumps, come with a host of issues, including leakage, emissions concerns, flammability and limited reclamation of ...
