Phys.org / After parenthood, same-sex parents diverge from different-sex norms—and from each other, researcher finds
Research by Penn sociologist Pilar Gonalons-Pons and others has shown that after a man and a woman have a child, the couple's relative share of paid and unpaid labor tends to change dramatically, with the father specializing ...
Phys.org / Image: Galaxy pair NGC 3504 and NGC 3512
This striking pair of galaxies located 80 million light-years from Earth lies in the constellation Leo against a backdrop of distant galaxies. The barred spiral galaxy NGC 3504 is seen on the right, and the spiral galaxy ...
Medical Xpress / Prime-and-pull vaccine may offer lasting genital herpes protection
Genital herpes is a lifelong infection. While available treatments can manage symptoms, they cannot cure the infection or prevent transmission. Now, Yale School of Medicine researchers have taken a significant step toward ...
Phys.org / Integration could be key to computational thinking in students
Training in computational thinking can improve a student's ability to tackle complex problems, according to research in the International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, which examined both students' perceptions ...
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 / What one sleepless night does to brain connections and why sleep may reset them
A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be important for restoring cellular balance in the brain, according to a study published in PLOS Biology ...
Phys.org / Looking at AI startups to predict which jobs AI will affect
A study of funded AI startups provides a glimpse of which jobs may be most affected by AI. As AI tools are embraced by industry after industry, the impacts of these tools on jobs remain unclear. Previous analyses have focused ...
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.
Medical Xpress / Small-molecule antiviral drug targets ACE2 receptor to block coronaviruses from entering cells
The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the rapid emergence of the omicron variant and its sublineages, has weakened the effectiveness of existing vaccines and antiviral drugs, underscoring the potential risk of ...
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.
