Phys.org / Antarctic glacier retreats faster than any other in modern history, findings show
A glacier on Antarctica's Eastern Peninsula experienced the fastest retreat recorded in modern history—in just two months, nearly 50% of the glacier disintegrated.
Phys.org / Radiocarbon analysis of turfgrasses can help cities measure greenhouse gas emissions
Cities around the world are working to limit emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases, but there have been few ways of measuring whether those gases are actually decreasing in any given municipality. In new research, ...
Medical Xpress / Research: Buddhist spirituality may transform mental health
A new study from an expert at The University of Manchester has found that ancient Buddhist wisdom could help address growing social and emotional challenges created by modern life and the pressures of today's mental health ...
Dialog / The right dose for the brain: Selenomethionine's role in protecting dopaminergic neurons
Dopamine is often called the brain's "motivation molecule," but for me, it represents something deeper, a window into how fragile our neurons can be. The cells that produce dopamine, known as dopaminergic neurons, are among ...
Phys.org / Plants under stress: How rye rearranges its genes
Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine their genes and the extent to which this process is influenced by environmental factors such as ...
Phys.org / Using metabarcoding to detect rot-causing fungi in apples
Rot development during fruit storage is a problem. Now, metabarcoding may become a tool for detecting fungi that can cause diseases in apples.
Tech Xplore / Getty Images largely loses lawsuit against UK AI firm
US media company Getty Images largely lost a case it brought against a British AI firm over use of its copyrighted content without permission, a court in London said on Tuesday.
Tech Xplore / Single-emitter white OLEDs offer simpler, more sustainable lighting technology
In an effort to create simpler next-generation lighting solutions, researchers from the University of Turku in Finland have developed a color-tunable white OLED. It is a top light-emitting device that produces white light ...
Phys.org / CERN's electrostatic trap 'recycles' anions to illuminate the heaviest elements
From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical elements bond with one another. For many of the 118 known elements, the intricate electronic structures ...
Phys.org / Single atoms of silver and earth-abundant carbon turn pollutants into fertilizer
A single atom of silver working in synergy with carbon and nitrogen atoms can efficiently convert polluting nitrogenous waste in water from industries such as agriculture and mining into ready-to-use liquid fertilizer.
Medical Xpress / Turning on an immune pathway in tumors could lead to their destruction
By stimulating cancer cells to produce a molecule that activates a signaling pathway in nearby immune cells, MIT researchers have found a way to force tumors to trigger their own destruction.
Phys.org / Startup provides a nontechnical gateway to coding on quantum computers
Quantum computers have the potential to model new molecules and weather patterns better than any computer today. They may also one day accelerate artificial intelligence algorithms at a much lower energy footprint. But anyone ...
