Medical Xpress / Researchers call for increased screening for parasitic disease linked to HIV and cervical cancer risk
New research from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) has highlighted the need to test millions of women and girls for female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), a neglected disease that can increase the risk of chronic ...
Phys.org / These glaciers are becoming critical climate havens as America's iconic mountain glaciers and their water diminish
If you have ever hiked in the high peaks of Colorado, the Wasatch Range in Utah or the Tetons in Wyoming, you've almost certainly seen a rock glacier, perhaps without even knowing it.
Phys.org / Why shorter lists win: Researchers study how people misread rankings
Math is great when it's simple, but then our brain gets involved and complicates everything. Imagine you are on the leadership team for a Big 4 and choosing between two employees for a director-level promotion. One is ranked ...
Phys.org / Black locust deploys peptides to steer root bacteria into nitrogen fixation
Plants need nitrogen to grow. Many legumes meet this need through a symbiotic relationship: They harbor bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant. Until now, it was largely unclear how a perennial ...
Phys.org / A goat's tooth may have solved a 100‑year debate about ancient Greek farming
The agricultural economy was the backbone of wealth in ancient Greece. Food brought people together, whether in smaller groups at a wine-drinking symposium or the entire community in a sacrificial feast of epic proportions. ...
Phys.org / Deadly Venezuela earthquakes raise concern in tremor-prone California
In the aftermath of back-to-back earthquakes in northern Venezuela, which by Friday had killed more than 500 people and left thousands injured, experts in resilience planning have emphasized the increasing importance of disaster ...
Medical Xpress / Scratching that bug bite might feel good at first but science explains why it's a bad idea
You've likely heard it since childhood: Don't scratch that bug bite or rash, you'll make it worse. But why would something that feels so good be bad?
Phys.org / Disorder creates direction-dependent optics in compound semiconductors
An international research team has demonstrated that the intrinsic disorder of the compound semiconductor CuInSnS₄ can be exploited to influence its optical properties. While the atomic vibrations also sense the local disorder, ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop a new predictive model for designing 2D perovskites
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are increasingly recognized as promising candidate materials for the next generation of optoelectronic devices. These materials combine key characteristics of both 2D semiconductors and three-dimensional ...
Phys.org / The sun's outbursts may briefly weaken rain and snow events across North America
For decades, scientists have searched for a clear link between the sun's explosive storms and the weather that occurs on Earth. A breakthrough study from the University of New Hampshire reveals that in the hours and days ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs, yet its presence is ubiquitous in social settings and celebrations
Few substances are as deeply woven into everyday life as alcohol. It is a fixture at holiday celebrations, work-related social gatherings, sporting events, airports and brunch or dinner tables. A raised glass for a toast, ...
Phys.org / El Niño is shaping up for a hot summer—could recycled water be part of the solution?
With El Niño officially declared for summer 2026, Dr. Laura Fernandez and researchers at Macquarie University are testing the use of recycled water to irrigate trees, helping cool Western Sydney.
