Phys.org / Tracing anglers in the Gulf Coast: New machine learning tools reveal when, where and how anglers fish
The Gulf Coast is recognized worldwide for its exceptional fishing opportunities, offering anglers a wide variety of species such as trout, red snapper, and grouper. Recreational fishing represents a significant—yet historically ...
Phys.org / From Salford to Shanghai: Cities taking control of housing
A major new international study led by The University of Manchester has revealed how policymakers around the world are becoming far more active in constructing affordable housing. Drawing on evidence from cities including ...
Tech Xplore / South Africans want solar power but they worry panels will be stolen, according to study
South Africa would seem like the perfect place for widespread uptake of solar energy. The country is sunny, with high solar generation potential. Solar is a clean, reliable source of power that can help people reduce their ...
Tech Xplore / AI tools to help vision-impaired are good, but could be better
Artificial intelligence is touching nearly every aspect of life—including assistive technology for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals. And just like in other arenas, the AI used to assist BLV people is good—but far from ...
Medical Xpress / Why fasting can lead to a longer lifespan
Restricting calories has long been recognized as a powerful way to live longer, with periods of intermittent fasting proving more effective than a steady diet. However, the mechanism behind this phenomenon has been unclear. ...
Phys.org / Information from starquakes provides theoretical evidence for 'fossilized' magnetism in stars
For the first time, new theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect the magnetism at the surface of long-dead stellar remnants (white dwarfs) with recent evidence of magnetism at the cores of their ...
Medical Xpress / Much-hyped Alzheimer's drugs removed amyloid yet brought no meaningful gains over 18 months
Drugs once hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer's disease do not meaningfully help patients, a major review found Thursday, however some experts criticized the research.
Phys.org / Quantum simulations tackle photon polarization flip, but today's hardware falls short
For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of countless experiments and agreeing ...
Phys.org / How industry and geography play a role in support for radical right parties
Dr. Ruben Ruiz Rufino found that communities with clusters of workers in labor-intensive sectors consistently showed higher levels of support for radical-right movements than areas dominated by knowledge-based industries. ...
Tech Xplore / The transactional—and optimizable—connections of 'cozy video games'
Cozy is a vibe. So much so that even video games have been getting cozy.
Phys.org / A 3D map of 47 million galaxies is redefining our view of the universe
For the last five years, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has been systematically scanning the night sky. Today marks the completion of its first map, which is the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ...
Phys.org / Picky methane-consuming microorganisms prefer carbon monoxide, opening the door to more greenhouse gas release
Research by microbiologists Reinier Egas and Cornelia Welte of Radboud University shows that many methane-consuming microorganisms actually prefer carbon monoxide over methane. When carbon monoxide is present, they consume ...
