Tech Xplore / Power producers have financial incentives to block market integration despite cost savings, says study
Renewable energy is lowering electricity costs in some parts of the country, but those benefits aren't being seen by consumers everywhere because they're typically placed far away from demand centers. Better integrating electricity ...
Phys.org / Why are some stars always visible while others come and go with the seasons?
As a space scientist, every time I go outside with my family, I tell my children to look up at the sky. The front door of our home looks southeast, and on winter nights the constellation Orion hangs majestically just above ...
Medical Xpress / New diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis discovered in cerebrospinal fluid
Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide. Using mass spectrometry, ...
Medical Xpress / High-fat diet accelerates triple-negative breast cancer growth in engineered tumors
A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Princeton University conducted a study to find out what patients diagnosed with breast cancer should eat to ensure the best prognosis. "We took the approach of building identical ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring why people with autism may be more likely to get Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the University of Missouri may have uncovered a clue explaining why young adults with autism are roughly six times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease later in life. In a recent study, Mizzou researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers link Parkinson's-related protein to faster Alzheimer's progression in women
Alzheimer's-related brain changes progressed up to 20 times faster in women who also had abnormal levels of a Parkinson's-related protein, according to a Mayo Clinic study published in JAMA Network Open. The same pattern ...
Phys.org / Enhanced rock weathering is not yet a reliable climate protection measure, say researchers
Most countries will not achieve climate neutrality through greenhouse gas emission reductions alone; carbon sinks are also needed to offset unavoidable emissions. Researchers are discussing technical solutions, such as applying ...
Tech Xplore / Electron microscopy shows 'mouse bite' defects in semiconductors
Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was the result of a collaboration ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke silences grassland birds in New York state
On a hazy day in June 2023, doctoral students Trifosa Simamora and Timothy Boycott noticed that the birds at their field site had gone quiet. Now in a study published in Biological Conservation, they show that the culprit ...
Medical Xpress / Automated CT scan analysis could fast-track clinical assessments
A research team has developed a versatile machine learning model that could one day greatly expand what medical scans can tell us about disease. Scientists used their tool, named Merlin, to assess 3D abdominal computed tomography ...
Medical Xpress / Fecal transplants from older mice found to significantly improve ovarian function and fertility in younger mice
A new study details how fecal transplants from older female mice significantly improve ovarian function and fertility in young mice. The surprising results reveal a direct link between the microbiome (the collection of all ...
Phys.org / Survival training in a safe space—how staged risk helps young predators learn dangerous prey
Adaptation is essential for survival. Across species, it occurs over many generations through evolution and natural selection. Individual animals, however, can also adapt within their own lifetimes—through learning. For ...
