Phys.org / Humanity's recent history leaves marks in deep marine sediments
Research led by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO-CSIC), with the participation of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC), has reconstructed the history of pollution ...
Phys.org / Sexism can undermine teams by disrupting emotional synchrony's role in performance
In a world where innovation and progress depend on effective teamwork, a new study reveals how sexist behavior within teams sabotages not just individuals, but the very fabric of collaboration.
Phys.org / Glaciers offer clues into the path of fossil fuel pollution
Glaciers provide a unique opportunity for researchers to measure levels of atmospheric carbon deposition. Unlike other terrestrial ecosystems, these slow-moving rivers of ice do not have other large reservoirs of soil or ...
Medical Xpress / Climate change and lack of sustainable policies may fuel rise in superbugs
Current climate change trajectories and failing to meet sustainable development strategies could contribute to an increase in the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by 2050, according to a study published in ...
Phys.org / Extreme rainfall—a long-standing hypothesis on temperature dependence may finally be settled
Flash floods resulting from extreme rainfall pose a major risk to people and infrastructure, especially in urban areas. Higher temperatures due to global climate change affect continuous rainfall and short rain showers in ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy could replace surgery, enabling patients to retain their organs and enhance their quality of life
New results from a clinical trial led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), gastrointestinal oncologists Andrea Cercek, MD, and Luis Diaz Jr., MD, demonstrate how immunotherapy alone can allow people with mismatch ...
Phys.org / Reciprocal interaction between extrachromosomal DNA maintenance and DNA damage response revealed
Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a unique form of circular DNA that exists outside of normal chromosomes. Found exclusively in tumor cells, it often carries cancer-promoting genes (oncogenes) and is detectable in most human ...
Medical Xpress / New biomarker for predicting progression of multiple sclerosis identified
Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have discovered a new biomarker that can predict the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Phys.org / Biomass satellite launched to count forest carbon
ESA's Biomass satellite, designed to provide unprecedented insights into the world's forests and their crucial role in Earth's carbon cycle, has been launched. The satellite lifted off aboard a Vega-C rocket from Europe's ...
Phys.org / Oscillating microbubbles sort exosomes from blood in minutes, skipping chemicals and centrifuges
Exosomes, secreted by most cells, carry biological information and proteins that serve as noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosing and predicting disease progression and metastasis. However, the rapid isolation of high-purity ...
Medical Xpress / Many young adults have high long-term risk for cardiovascular disease, study finds
A recent Northwestern Medicine study published in JAMA has found that 1 in 7 U.S. adults between the ages of 30 and 59 years have a high 30-year risk for cardiovascular disease.
Phys.org / Close exploration of mineral extraction may enable a better understanding of the impact of deep-sea mining
The ocean's deep-sea bed is scattered with ancient rocks, each about the size of a closed fist, called "polymetallic nodules." Elsewhere, along active and inactive hydrothermal vents and the deep ocean's ridges, volcanic ...
