Phys.org / Missing the forest for the trees: Conservationists emphasize the need for intact forest in coffee landscapes
As conservationists seek to maintain biodiversity levels in tropical coffee landscapes, data indicate the presence and quality of surrounding forest habitat may play a larger role than previously thought. New research from ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover the earliest known flickering quasar
A supermassive black hole lies at the heart of every galaxy, including the Milky Way. When a black hole is active, it pulls material in as a whirlpool of high-temperature gas and dust. As this cosmic material piles up and ...
Medical Xpress / Fasting-mimicking diet may reduce gum disease inflammation
People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A study by King's College London, published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, highlights how lifestyle ...
Medical Xpress / Brain region found to be linked to TMS's antidepressant effects
A circuit that runs from the prefrontal cortex near the front of the brain to a deeper brain structure called the insular cortex appears to mediate the antidepressant effects of a newer form of transcranial magnetic stimulation ...
Tech Xplore / Low-water lithium extraction method achieves 95% recovery efficiency from brine salts
Engineers have developed a new technology that enables the direct extraction of lithium from solid salt mixtures derived from brines, offering a low-water, low-energy alternative to conventional lithium extraction methods.
Medical Xpress / IV atorvastatin during myocardial infarction reduces myocardial damage compared to pre-infarction oral loading
Reducing the damage sustained by the heart during a myocardial infarction remains one of the major challenges in cardiology, even when the blocked coronary artery is reopened in a timely manner. Part of the myocardial injury ...
Phys.org / Visualizing band structures in nanostructures: Extending band theory to imperfect periodic and bent systems
An international collaborative research group has developed a new computational method to visualize the electronic states of aperiodic nanomaterials as band structures through first-principles calculations on finite-sized ...
Phys.org / Zoned tourist vessel routes could curb invasive marine pests across Galápagos Islands
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has identified a smarter, more effective way to protect fragile marine ecosystems from invasive species—an approach with global relevance for island regions around the world. ...
Phys.org / Astronomers find a four-carbon sugar in deep space
The space between stars may seem like a barren desert, but over the past few decades scientists have been finding all sorts of interesting chemicals in it. From the precursors to proteins to the building blocks of cell membranes, ...
Tech Xplore / Ads in New York must now label AI-generated 'synthetic performers'
Any advertisements in New York that feature artificial intelligence-generated people in place of actors will now be violating state law if they don't clearly label that they have used a "synthetic performer."
Medical Xpress / Fathers may influence their children's health before they're even conceived
A father's health before conception may leave a biological imprint on his future children, according to a new study from Washington State University.
Medical Xpress / The number of uninsured Californians could double by 2030
California's ranks of uninsured residents could nearly double in the next four years—to nearly 4.6 million people—because of deep federal cuts to Medicaid and dramatic changes in federal and state policy, according to a new ...
