Phys.org / Reading daily ocean temperatures from red algae
Understanding how marine ecosystems respond to a warming ocean requires detailed records of past temperatures. An international research team led by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Max Planck Institute for ...
Medical Xpress / Half of prostate cancer focal therapy use found to fall outside current guideline-supported groups
As focal therapy gains popularity as a less invasive treatment option for some men with prostate cancer, a national study led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that some men may be receiving treatment that ...
Medical Xpress / Impaired brain protein drives fat cravings and obesity in mice
Obesity is a global health concern that can contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic disorders. While many health conditions can lead to obesity, an increasingly worrying cause is found on grocery ...
Phys.org / Greater vegetable diversity needed for healthier diets and climate-resilient agriculture
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers show how a wider diversity of vegetables could help improve diets and strengthen agriculture against climate change. They use the term ...
Phys.org / How to spot the Perseid meteor shower, a summer light show that promises to dazzle
The Perseid summer light show is back—and viewing conditions are especially promising for the Northern Hemisphere.
Phys.org / One-step synthesis of catalysts that turn carbon dioxide into useful methane
A simple flame-synthesis method can produce highly active catalysts for converting carbon dioxide into methane, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. The team used flame-assisted spray pyrolysis to manufacture nickel–cerium ...
Phys.org / College men's attitudes linked to ignoring rejections from bisexual women
Alexis Sheffield, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, recently published a research article about a study exploring factors that contribute to the elevated rates of sexual assault among bisexual women and to better ...
Phys.org / Using salt to drive drug-carrying particles deeper into difficult-to-treat biofilms
Biofilms—bacterial communities encased in a sticky, polymer-rich matrix—can be difficult to treat because that matrix slows antibiotics and drug-carrying particles. With help from salt, though, Yale researchers have found ...
Phys.org / Mice bred to run three times farther show no fertility or lifespan cost
Being an elite athlete—at least for a mouse—does not shorten lifespan or limit how many children one can have. This is the finding of a study 30 years in the making, and it runs counter to accepted evolutionary theory.
Medical Xpress / School-based hybrid tools can improve youth well-being, but research gaps persist
Children and youth face rising mental health challenges in an increasingly digital world, especially those from marginalized populations. A new systematic review and meta-analysis of universal digital mental health interventions, ...
Medical Xpress / Hospitals say they found a tool to help reduce childbirth risks: Wristbands
Hospitals across the U.S. are trying to reduce maternal deaths and complications after pregnancies using one small tool: a silicone wristband stamped with the declaration "I Gave Birth."
Phys.org / Beyond color: Fluorescence lifetime imaging distinguishes multiple proteins in living plant cells
Fluorescent protein imaging is an indispensable tool in life science research, enabling visualization of protein movement and localization, gene expression, signaling pathways, protein-protein interactions and more. For simultaneous ...
