While Black and Hispanic families are enthusiastic about research participation, other provider- and system-focused factors may influence their involvement in pediatric oncology clinical trials, a UT Southwestern Medical ...
Phys.org / Moon's thick crust could amplify elusive gravitational-wave signals
Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime that are produced when massive objects in the cosmos accelerate or collide. By detecting these waves, astrophysicists can study various cosmic events, including ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop an AI framework for long-term bridge damage monitoring
Bridges are an important part of road systems. Monitoring them is essential for ensuring structural safety, as bridges develop cracks, concrete spalling and water leakage over time due to traffic loads, weather and environmental ...
Phys.org / Australia has long relied on volunteers: As bird flu spreads, they will need support
Australia had years to prepare for the arrival of bird flu. The deadly, highly transmissible H5N1 strain emerged in late 2020 in Asia before spreading to every other continent except Australia.
Tech Xplore / When rogue AI launches a cyberattack, who is legally responsible?
Cyberattacks carried out by two OpenAI artificial intelligence models acting autonomously raise a novel legal question: Who is responsible when AI goes rogue?
Phys.org / Ancient Irish volcano offers new clues about the development of its modern-day, active 'brothers and sisters'
An international team of volcanologists working on Carlingford Mountain has found that liquid "magma chambers" do not always exist beneath volcanoes. The team instead demonstrated that magma "plumbing systems" beneath Earth's ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find simple habit to improve physical and mental health
University of Missouri researchers have identified a simple, effective way to improve quality of life. A new study found that maintaining a consistent daily routine can reduce physical pain and ease symptoms of depression, ...
Phys.org / Combined rattlesnake proteins prove 10 times more potent than current antivenom in lab tests
University of Maryland researchers discovered a new approach to treating venomous snakebites—using the same toxin-blocking proteins that snakes evolved to protect themselves. The team found that specific combinations of blood ...
Medical Xpress / DNA sequencing offers more precise diagnosis for serious lung infections
Lung infections are a constant risk for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that impairs lung function, predisposes people to persistent airway infections and puts them at risk of ...
Phys.org / Rideshare launches boost regional GDP and flexible jobs, study finds
Ride-hailing has become a routine part of urban life in the United States, but its broader economic impacts have been difficult to measure. As Uber and Lyft expanded across hundreds of cities over the past decade, they promised ...
Tech Xplore / Neighborhood effects of rooftop solar support the energy transition
A study by researchers from the Universities of Passau and Lausanne shows that when a household installs a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, neighboring households respond as well—and not only by installing solar panels themselves.
Phys.org / Most Americans prefer non-violent border enforcement, study finds
Most Americans favor nonviolent measures, such as temporary barricades, over violent measures, like the use of rubber bullets, by border enforcement officers toward undocumented migrants on the southern border, a UCL-led ...
