Phys.org / Seismic attenuation techniques reveal what lies beneath Taiwan
As seismic waves travel through Earth, they gradually lose energy, a process called attenuation. That energy loss doesn't happen uniformly—some features in the crust sap far more energy from seismic waves than others. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke's hidden ozone threat may be adding thousands of US deaths each year
A study that assesses the effects of wildfires over two decades shows that wildfire smoke significantly raises ground-level ozone and contributes to excess deaths from wildfire smoke in the United States each year. The research, ...
Phys.org / Testing quantum collapse theory with the XENONnT dark matter detector
Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, however, this superposition ...
Tech Xplore / Merged security model could close 5G gaps with 98% attack detection
Research into 5G cellular network security suggests that we need to unify encryption and intrusion detection to better protect those networks rather than treating encryption and detection as separate processes. The research ...
Medical Xpress / Insulin resistance during pregnancy linked to higher abdominal fat in girls
Girls born to mothers with higher insulin resistance during the third trimester are more likely to have more abdominal fat at age 7, according to research presented at the 28th European Congress of Endocrinology in Prague. ...
Science X / Strawberries crossed oceans—and walked straight into an ambush already waiting underground
Plant diseases often arise when the pathogens that cause disease are introduced into new territories where native plants don't recognize the pathogen and therefore may have minimal defenses against it. But there's another ...
Phys.org / Brighter red micro-LEDs could help solve full-color display stability challenge
Researchers at The University of Osaka, in collaboration with Ritsumeikan University, have demonstrated that growing europium-doped gallium nitride (Eu-doped GaN) on a semipolar crystal plane dramatically improves red light ...
Phys.org / The birds and the babies: Humans and zebra finches have a similar technique for learning to speak
We are all born completely helpless, with little of the knowledge and skills we will need to survive as adults. Even our ability to communicate is almost entirely learned from our parents or caregivers.
Medical Xpress / Harm from missing incidents among people with dementia
One in 10 times that a person with dementia goes missing results in serious harm, finds a new UCL-led analysis of police data on missing people incidents involving older adults in the UK.
Medical Xpress / Heavy caring responsibilities may hasten cognitive decline
Onerous caring responsibilities reduce brain function for people aged 50 and over, whereas light caring duties can actually be beneficial to middle-aged and older people's mental abilities, finds a new study led by University ...
Medical Xpress / How the timing of trauma leaves a lasting mark on the brain and behavior
A research team from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology), in collaboration with the IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini in Genoa (Italy), has demonstrated that traumatic experiences occurring ...
Tech Xplore / Google disrupts hackers using AI to exploit an unknown weakness in a company's digital defense
Google said Monday that it had disrupted a criminal group's attempt to use artificial intelligence to exploit another company's previously unknown digital vulnerability, adding to heightened worries across government and ...
