Phys.org / Annual carbon dioxide peak reaches 432 parts per million
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego reported today that carbon dioxide levels at Mauna Loa Observatory reached 432.00 parts per million (ppm) in May, continuing a long ...
Medical Xpress / Why eating in the middle of the night can cause gastrointestinal issues
Eating when the body is normally asleep appears to desynchronize the circadian clocks of different cell types in the intestines, a UT Southwestern Medical Center study suggests. The findings, published in PNAS, could help ...
Phys.org / Five-year plan to help scientists better understand the causes of algal blooms
As toxic algal blooms intensify around the world, a renowned Bowling Green State University researcher continues to lead the global conversation on how to prevent them, keeping the university and its Center for Great Lakes ...
Medical Xpress / ADA: Continuous glucose monitoring lowers HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes not on insulin
For adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not on insulin therapy (NIT), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is associated with a substantial reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), according to a study presented at the annual ...
Phys.org / Carbon dioxide removal slow to take off, alarming scientists
Carbon dioxide removal experts have sounded the alarm in Milan this week over a shortfall in research and investment in the nascent sector viewed as essential for mitigating climate change.
Phys.org / Precision measurement under impact—when the balance itself becomes the object of measurement
How do you take measurements using one of the most sensitive scales in the world? Researchers at TU Wien have demonstrated how the measurement process affects not only the object being measured but also the scale itself, ...
Phys.org / River wildlife moves freely once dams are removed, but so too can invasive species
Almost a quarter of all freshwater species are threatened with extinction. The removal of human-made barriers from rivers, such as dams and weirs, is a popular way to restore water flow and sediment transport to its natural ...
Medical Xpress / Low dose atropine eye drops safe and effective for short-sightedness in children, clinical trial suggests
Low-concentration atropine eye drops are a safe and effective treatment for short-sightedness (myopia) in UK children, although the effects are small, suggests a clinical trial published by The BMJ.
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria molecule may ease colitis by slowing cellular energy production
Enterobactin, a molecule produced by gut bacteria, may hold a surprising key to reducing intestinal inflammation—not by attacking the immune system directly, but by temporarily slowing down the cell's own energy production.
Phys.org / On the hunt for cosmic dawn and the universe's very first stars
After only four short years, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and observational cosmologists like Richard Ellis at University College London (UCL) have pushed the cosmic lookback time to an era when the universe's ...
Medical Xpress / Oral therapy enables at-home treatment for acute myeloid leukemia
For years, treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia—an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow—has required injections administered in a clinic for five to seven consecutive days each month, in addition ...
Medical Xpress / How body clock may shape inflammation, cancer risk and timing of future treatments
Daily life is shaped by the solar day, influencing when we wake up, eat, work and sleep. Inside the body, a similar internal timing system—present in nearly every cell—known as the circadian clock synchronizes many biological ...
