Medical Xpress / Are data centers actually noisy, and is this bad for our health?
In the United States, areas such as Michigan have been hotspots for residents pushing back against data center construction in their neighborhoods. Now, similar concerns about noise—and potential health impacts—are gaining ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover a strange new form of ice that could help explain the interiors of Neptune and Uranus
Scientists have discovered that there is ice deep inside planets like Neptune and Uranus and want to find out what form it takes and how it behaves. They cannot dig for it and transport it all the way back to Earth, so they ...
Phys.org / New simulations link unusual particle diffusion to yielding in soft jammed matter
Soft materials such as colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foams and gels often display complex and unusual behaviors compared with ordinary solids or liquids. From a mechanical point of view, for instance, they can resist ...
Medical Xpress / Get kids on a sleep schedule that will set up for success at school
With summer break over and school back in session, some children and teens may be struggling to adjust their sleep schedules. A pediatric sleep expert at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital explains why ...
Phys.org / Climate change made deadly Nepal glacier and rock collapse more likely, according to analysis
Human-caused global warming thinned glaciers and thawed mountain permafrost, likely helping to destabilize the Himalayan slope that collapsed last month and unleashed catastrophic flooding across Nepal, according to a report ...
Medical Xpress / Study supports effectiveness of RSV preventive antibodies for infants, offers new way to monitor viral resistance
An analysis of more than 60,000 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) sequences from around the world found that viral variants associated with resistance to current RSV prevention tools remain rare, according to a study published ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds blue collar workers at highest risk of suicide
A new national study of suicide rates across occupations in Australia shows blue-collar male workers are still substantially overrepresented, underscoring the need for greater attention to occupation-specific factors that ...
Phys.org / Weather forecasts are significantly less accurate in poorer countries, analysis finds
Weather forecasts inform countless everyday decisions—from farmers deciding when to sow crops and energy companies anticipating demand to public authorities preparing for heat waves. But how useful those forecasts are depends ...
Medical Xpress / Neuron cell bodies switch gene programs to steer growing axons, study finds
A new discovery by neuroscientists at Brown University's Carney Institute for Brain Science challenges long-held beliefs in neurobiology about how neurons extend axons to reach their targets.
Medical Xpress / Gut infection may train immune sentries at the brain's border to remember microbes
The brain and spinal cord are highly protected treasures of the central nervous system, wrapped under three protective layers of meninges. The outermost layer, the dura mater, has leaky windows through which bacteria or parasites ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer drug pushes mutant blood stem cells to become short-lived immune cells
The biologic drug interferon-alpha can benefit patients with blood cancers called myeloproliferative neoplasms by forcing mutant blood stem cells to become shorter-lived white blood cells, according to a study by Weill Cornell ...
Tech Xplore / A prosthodontic digital guide for reproducing lip–instrument positioning for wind instruments
A digitally fabricated guide developed by researchers at Science Tokyo captures and reproduces the spatial relationship between a musician's lips and an air-reed instrument, such as a shakuhachi flute. By combining facial ...
