Archaeologists have uncovered a rare and intricate polychrome mosaic within the remains of a Roman villa beneath Devon farmland. Made up of thousands of red, white and dark blue-gray cubes, the 12 m2 (129 square feet) mosaic ...
Medical Xpress / Many U.S. schools unprepared to help concussed students return to the classroom
Many U.S. schools aren't well prepared to help students who've suffered a concussion, a new study says. A quarter of public schools have no concussion policy at all, and those with such a policy aren't adequately training ...
Tech Xplore / AI chatbots can be as effective as humans at emotional support—sometimes better
New research led by The University of Manchester in collaboration with Durham University has found that AI chatbots such as ChatGPT can match—and in some situations outperform—humans as a source of everyday emotional support. ...
Phys.org / Why river management is so crucial to protecting one of world's most important wetlands
A major new study led by Swansea University has shown that upstream river management, rather than local rainfall, is the primary driver of one of the world's most important wetlands. According to the research published in ...
Medical Xpress / Licensed Zaire Ebola vaccine may offer partial protection against Bundibugyo outbreak
Ebolaviruses are among the most dangerous known human pathogens. Three ebolavirus species have repeatedly caused major disease outbreaks on the African continent. Most outbreaks have been caused by Zaire ebolavirus. Vaccines ...
Phys.org / Trust among farmers is key to scaling climate-smart innovations
As the climate becomes increasingly variable and extreme events become more frequent, accelerating the use of innovations that can strengthen agricultural resilience has become a priority for agrifood systems. Science has ...
Phys.org / Combined nanoparticle and internal laser method could make cancer therapy less invasive
In a promising development for cancer treatment, a collaborative research team has overcome two issues that have prevented photothermal therapy, a much less invasive treatment option than surgery and/or radiation, from becoming ...
Phys.org / Cosmic gymnastics: How the Milky Way once underwent a dramatic flip
The Milky Way may have undergone a dramatic change in orientation during its history, according to new research that helps explain a long-standing mystery about our galaxy. Using supercomputer simulations of galaxies like ...
