Phys.org / More than numbers: First global dataset shows who is immigrating
As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global data set of immigration ...
Phys.org / Local microbes persist in wine despite commercial yeast
A new study has demonstrated that regional microbial imprints can remain detectable under commercial winemaking conditions. The research, appearing in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, shows that inoculated fermentations ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial supports adding mental health care to routine preparation for major surgery
Facing major surgery is stressful, but for older adults, unaddressed anxiety and depression can impede physical recovery. A clinical trial led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis could help diagnose rare diseases missed by genome sequencing
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects ...
Phys.org / Ocean acidification may disrupt diatoms' carbon capture and marine food webs
Our oceans are in trouble, and new research from Flinders University shows how changes in diatoms (microalgae) could further undermine the foundation of aquatic food webs—as well as vital deep-sea carbon capture or sequestration.
Phys.org / AI governance model inspired by Pope Leo XIV aims to put ethics first
Researchers at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) and the University of Eastern Finland have developed a new model of artificial intelligence governance inspired by the teachings of Pope Leo XIV as set out ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer is now the leading health threat for 9/11 survivors 25 years on
Twenty-five years after the World Trade Center attacks, cancer has become the defining health problem among survivors who breathed the toxic dust.
Medical Xpress / Engineered antibodies offer broad protection against deadly cobra toxins
A research team has developed a recombinant, nanobody-based antivenom that offers broad protection against venom from geographically diverse cobra and king cobra species in India. The study is published in Science Translational ...
Phys.org / What the backlash to the Industrial Revolution can teach us about handcrafts in the age of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) isn't yet causing widespread job losses in Australia. But with some high-profile business leaders still predicting a looming unemployment "crisis," it's little wonder many people fear AI is coming ...
Phys.org / Super-resolution imaging reveals that cohesin prevents local mixing of compact, active genome domains
The human genome is about two meters (6.6 feet) long, yet it is folded inside a cell nucleus only about 10 micrometers in diameter. To fit into this tiny space, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, ...
Phys.org / New iron-bearing compounds could store water near Earth's core
Geochemical studies of volcanic rocks from Baffin Island, Canada, and Iceland suggest that some of the water dating back to Earth's formation may still be preserved deep within the planet. However, it has remained unclear ...
Phys.org / Has gentle parenting gone too far?
To be or not to be a gentle parent? That is the question. There is so much controversy these days about gentle parenting. What is it, and what is it not?
