Phys.org / Support local people to protect world's nature, new report urges, as deadline for global conservation target looms
For better or worse, a huge number of people will be affected by efforts to achieve "30x30"—the internationally-agreed conservation goal to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world's land and seas by 2030. How many ...
Phys.org / Astrophysicists use 'space archaeology' to trace the history of a spiral galaxy
Billions of years ago, a young spiral galaxy began to grow in a crowded part of the universe. It pulled in gas and small companion galaxies, slowly building up the bright central region and sweeping spiral arms we see today.
Science X / Salmon make clicking sounds when stressed—but no one knows how
It's noisy underwater, especially just below the surface. "A lot of the ambient noise is from the wind and waves," says Kristbjörg Edda Jónsdóttir, who is a research scientist at SINTEF, where she found out how much noise ...
Medical Xpress / Centuries-old medicine benefits heart failure patients, studies show
A low dose of digoxin ensures that people with heart failure are hospitalized and die less frequently. This emerges from three studies led by UMCG cardiologists Dirk Jan van Veldhuisen, Kevin Damman, and Peter van der Meer. ...
Phys.org / Study finds more than 84% of dogs show signs of fear, anxiety
A dog trembling during a thunderstorm or backing away from a stranger may seem like an isolated reaction—yet new research suggests these moments are far from rare. In fact, the majority of dogs may experience some level of ...
Phys.org / How we feel political emotions in our bodies—and why this matters for democracy
Researchers have found our emotions toward politics not only play on our minds, but shape how our bodies respond to political experiences, even driving political participation higher. The new study, published in the Proceedings ...
Medical Xpress / Urine nanosensor tracks lung cancer signals and early fibrosis, moving toward clinical trials
A urine test developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge has moved a step closer to clinical use following new findings revealing it could do more than first thought. Originally designed to detect early signs of ...
Phys.org / Old newspapers track porpoise populations across the Baltic Sea
Harbor porpoises were once found across a much wider area of the Baltic Sea than they are today, including regions where they are now rare or absent. This is shown in a new study that uses centuries-old Swedish newspapers ...
Medical Xpress / Using real-time brain signals to predict and prevent attention lapses in kids
Inside a deep brain stimulation program at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), researchers have discovered a brain signal that predicts when a child is about to lose attention—and that a brief, targeted intervention ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI architecture could turn neuromorphic systems into reliable discovery machines
The artificial intelligence (AI) machines that guide the world can be grouped into three main categories: inference machines, learning machines and discovery machines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are ...
Medical Xpress / Wegovy initiation may cut migraine drug use 8% in women after one year
A nationwide study from Denmark presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) in Istanbul, Turkey, shows that use of semaglutide (Wegovy) for weight management is associated with a 7% reduction in the use of triptan-class ...
Phys.org / Brazilian microfossils interpreted as animal traces are actually algae and bacteria, research reveals
A reexamination of microfossils found in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul shows that the marks previously interpreted as traces of worms or other small oceanic animals are actually communities of fossilized microscopic ...
