Phys.org / Sloshing liquefied natural gas in cargo tanks causes higher impact forces than expected
What happens if liquefied natural gas (LNG) hits the wall of the cargo tanks in a ship? New research from the team of physicist Devaraj van der Meer from the University of Twente, published in the Proceedings of the National ...
Phys.org / Sea levels are rising—but in Greenland, they will fall
Even as global warming causes sea levels to rise worldwide, sea levels around Greenland will likely drop, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications. "The Greenland coastline is going to experience quite ...
Phys.org / A protein 'tape recorder' enables scientists to measure and decode cellular processes at scale and over time
Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and across large cell populations. A revolutionary new tool, developed at the University of Michigan, ...
Medical Xpress / Novel laser therapy device generates promising results in prostate cancer clinical trial
Because treatment of the whole prostate can lead to long-term side effects in patients with prostate cancer, interest in minimally invasive, focal treatment options has been growing for certain patients. A clinical trial ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny fish helps clinicians avoid multi-million-dollar treatment for babies suspected of having spinal muscular atrophy
The tiny zebrafish is helping researchers rapidly determine whether a newborn's genetic mutation is likely to cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), one of the leading causes of infant mortality worldwide. The world-first research, ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II crewed mission to the moon shows how US space strategy has changed since Apollo
When Apollo 13 looped around the moon in April 1970, more than 40 million people around the world watched the United States recover from a potential catastrophe. An oxygen tank explosion turned a planned landing into an urgent ...
Medical Xpress / Do men develop cardiovascular disease earlier than women?
Historical data indicate that men develop coronary heart disease (CHD) 10 years before women. A study in the Journal of the American Heart Association indicates that this sex gap still remains.
Phys.org / Scientists recover the oldest wooden tools from a site in Greece
Two artifacts found at a lake shore in Greece are the oldest wooden tools to be uncovered so far and date back 430,000 years.
Phys.org / Shrubs curb carbon emissions in China's largest desert, decades-long experiment shows
An experiment in western China over the past four decades shows that it is possible to tame the expansion of desert lands with greenery, and, in the process, pull excess carbon dioxide out of the sky.
Medical Xpress / International differences exist in knowledge gaps and most common perimenopause symptoms, study confirms
Although perimenopause is experienced by all women regardless of race or nationality, it is not always experienced similarly. Studies comparing perimenopause symptoms across diverse cultures and geographic settings are lacking. ...
Phys.org / Collaboration of elementary particles: How teamwork among photon pairs overcomes quantum errors
Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks of nature.
Medical Xpress / Both reward and aversion learning require the brain molecule sulfatase 1
Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive outcomes requires a common brain molecule, sulfatase 1 (Sulf1). This extracellular enzyme removes ...
