Medical Xpress / Q&A: Are environmental chemicals and endometrial cancer linked?
Researchers at Penn State are investigating whether exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment may play a role in the development of endometrial cancer, particularly among women in rural communities. The ...
Tech Xplore / New research proposes safer offshore wind turbines for earthquake-prone regions
Researchers at UTS have proposed a novel cable-stay reinforcement system that could significantly improve the resilience of large offshore wind turbines exposed to the combined effects of earthquakes, wind and waves.
Tech Xplore / Insect-inspired electronic nose: Turning semiconductor chips into olfactory sensors
Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego integrated the olfactory receptor of an insect called a jumping bristletail into semiconductor chips made of graphene, creating an electronic nose capable of sniffing ...
Medical Xpress / Silver diamine fluoride treatment could halt cavities without shots, drilling or sedation
Every year, untreated tooth decay sends thousands of young U.S. children to emergency departments for dental problems doctors can't treat. Many eventually undergo surgery under general anesthesia, while others endure pain ...
Phys.org / Cool it: AI-driven solutions to lower urban heat need community buy-in to work
A new framework to cool urban areas which integrates AI-driven technical solutions with cooling schemes that are acceptable and doable for the host community, has been proposed by QUT Urban AI Hub researchers.
Phys.org / Hubble shows star formation in Andromeda galaxy is winding down
A new study using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope finds that star formation in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has undergone a 500-million-year decline, with an even steeper drop in the last 40 million years. Andromeda, ...
Phys.org / High winds hamper firefighting efforts in western Turkey
Hundreds of firefighters were battling strong winds Friday as they fought a wildfire in southwestern Turkey. High winds stoked a new blaze, complicating efforts to bring the fires under control, a minister said.
