Tech Xplore / Novel approach to a key biofuel production step captures an elusive energy source
Plants grown for biofuel have the potential to power our travel industry, but an important fraction of their chemical power has remained stubbornly difficult to recover. New research from the Center for Advanced Biofuel and ...
Phys.org / Unexpected climate feedback links Antarctic ice sheet with reduced carbon uptake
A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth in the Southern Ocean over previous glacial cycles, but not in the way scientists expected. The ...
Phys.org / AI enables a who's who of brown bears in Alaska
A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season. ...
Phys.org / Shrinking shellfish? Study uncovers acidic water risks in Indian River lagoon
Florida's Indian River Lagoon (IRL), one of the state's most ecologically productive estuaries, is facing a growing but invisible threat that could reshape its marine ecosystems. Over the past decade, the lagoon has suffered ...
Medical Xpress / From injury to inspiration: Teen's Lego project brightens hospital recovery
When high school athlete Devin Brenner suffered a catastrophic knee injury during a long jump event, his competitive dreams were suddenly replaced by a grueling 10-month road to recovery. Now, the 18-year-old is using the ...
Medical Xpress / Methadone: Public transit is a barrier for accessing treatment
In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, Yale researchers examined the burdens for people who use public transit to access methadone treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) at Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) in Connecticut. ...
Phys.org / Chromosome-level genome unlocks evolution of endangered fern Brainea insignis
Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid complexity, diverge significantly from the classical genetic theories and analytical frameworks largely ...
Medical Xpress / Why misunderstood hand signals put cyclists at risk
As more Americans turn to biking for commuting, exercise and recreation, the roads are growing more crowded and more dangerous as cyclist fatalities have risen sharply nationwide. While crashes are often attributed to speeding, ...
Phys.org / Launching the idea of data centers in space
Tech firms are floating the idea of building data centers in space and tapping into the sun's energy to meet out-of-this-world power demands in a fierce artificial intelligence race.
Phys.org / Machine learning accelerates plasma mirror design for high-power lasers
Plasma mirrors capable of withstanding the intensity of powerful lasers are being designed through an emerging machine learning framework. Researchers in Physics and Computer Science at the University of Strathclyde have ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean diet associated with lower risk of all stroke types
Following a Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of all types of stroke among women, according to a study published in Neurology Open Access. The study does not prove that the Mediterranean diet is the cause ...
Phys.org / How species competition shapes trait diversity worldwide
Every ecosystem is shaped by billions of invisible battles: organisms competing for light, nutrients, space, or mates. These competitive interactions determine which species survive, how they evolve, and how vibrant and resilient ...
