Phys.org / Ocean Equity Index offers first global tool to measure ocean fairness
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Agreement on the High Seas (BBNJ) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) have demonstrated strong commitment by governments and international ...
Phys.org / Data-driven 3D chromosome model reveals structural and dynamic features of DNA
Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't used as often. Understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Group-based mindfulness helps autistic adults feel safer, cope better with daily stress
Autistic adults who took part in an adapted group-based program in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) reported reduced stress and improved ability to cope with everyday challenges. These findings come from a new study ...
Medical Xpress / Study of cortisol drop in twins reveals true impact of self-employment on stress
New research from Bayes Business School (City St George's, University of London) has revealed that work-related stress heightens when people become self-employed compared to working for an organization, even when business ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe a 300-million-year-old brain rhythm in several animal species
Sleep is a universal biological state that allows all animals, from mammals to amphibians, fish and even insects, to restore their energy and consolidate knowledge that can contribute to their survival. Neuroscientists and ...
Phys.org / Red flowers have a 'magic trait' to attract birds and keep bees away
For flowering plants, reproduction is a question of the birds and the bees. Attracting the right pollinator can be a matter of survival—and new research shows how flowers do it is more intriguing than anyone realized, and ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop first gene-editing treatment for skin conditions
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for the first time. The UBC ...

Seoul National University Hospital researchers have linked childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and methylphenidate exposure with higher adult overweight/obesity and slightly shorter adult height at ages 20 ...
Phys.org / 'Holiday mode': Why our green habits vanish on vacation
Being in "holiday mode" makes tourists less environmentally responsible, according to a recent University of Queensland study. Researchers found that while tourists' core environmental values don't change, traveling can activate ...
Medical Xpress / Leftover COVID spike fragments kill crucial immune cells but are less deadly in omicron
New research shows that after the body's defenses kill the virus behind COVID-19, leftover digested chunks of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can target specific immune cells based on their shape. The revelations could explain why ...
Phys.org / Establishing design principles for achieving ultralow thermal conductivity via controlled chemical disorder
A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of materials that simultaneously offer low thermal conductivity, mechanical robustness, and scalable fabrication ...
Medical Xpress / Enzyme PARG identified as a new target to enhance chemotherapy in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent tumors and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Despite advances achieved in recent years, resistance to available treatments remains one of the main clinical challenges, ...
