Phys.org / Analysis reveals interhemispheric thermal imbalance as key to Asian-Australian monsoon variability
The Asian-Australian monsoon system (A-AuMS) is the world's most typical cross-equatorial coupled monsoon system. On a seasonal timescale, the summer monsoon in one hemisphere is usually linked to the winter monsoon in the ...
Phys.org / Hadean zircons reveal crust recycling and continent formation more than 4 billion years ago
Parts of ancient Earth may have formed continents and recycled crust through subduction far earlier than previously thought. New research led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has uncovered chemical signatures ...
Phys.org / Gut physiology, not host species, dictates microbiome diversity: Study
A large-scale population metagenomic study has shed new light on the spatial heterogeneity of viral communities across the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants, which are closely linked to human history. The team, led by ...
Phys.org / Cracking the rules of gene regulation with experimental elegance and AI
Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning model PARM. This might bring an end to a scientific mystery: how genes know when to switch on or off.
Phys.org / Political division in the US surged from 2008 onward, study suggests
Divisions within the US population on social and political issues have increased by 64% since 1988, with almost all this coming after 2008, according to a study tracking polarization from the end of the Reagan era to the ...
Phys.org / Hard to recycle packaging? This glue could let plastics peel apart on cue
Newcastle University engineers are at the forefront of adhesive technology that promises to change how we recycle. They have developed a reversible glue that sticks things together like any other glue but can debond on demand. ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors eliminated in mice without resistance developing
Current drugs for pancreatic cancer lose effectiveness within months because the tumor becomes resistant. Now, a group from Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has been able to avoid the development of resistance ...
Phys.org / Using generative AI to help scientists synthesize complex materials
Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many cases, materials synthesis ...
Medical Xpress / What our teeth reveal about the growing gap between rich and poor
Teeth are one of the most visible markers of poverty: structural circumstances that are individually borne.
Phys.org / Ancient American pronghorns were built for speed
The fastest land animal in North America is the American pronghorn, and previously, researchers thought it evolved its speed because of pressure from the now-extinct American cheetah. But recently, that theory has come under ...
Phys.org / High-tech scans of an enigmatic 400-million-year-old lungfish reveal new details
New pieces have been added to the puzzle of the evolution of some of the oldest fish that lived on Earth more than 400 million years ago. In two separate studies, experts in Australia and China have found new clues about ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers overcome major obstacle to grow and study human norovirus
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report in Science Advances a breakthrough in human norovirus (HuNoV) research. Norovirus is a leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis worldwide with severe outcomes mostly among ...
