Medical Xpress / How our body's natural recycling system could help reduce inflammation
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven, together with international collaborators, have discovered that blocking autophagy—the body's natural recycling system for worn-out cell components—in specialized blood vessels can reduce ...
Phys.org / Researchers find factors that cause respiratory impacts after flooding
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University's Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response Center have identified how hurricane flooding can affect health long after a storm. In research ...
Phys.org / Seven possible quasar lenses emerge from AI scan of 800,000 DESI objects
Quasars, distant cores of galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, are among the most luminous objects in the universe. While not uncommon, their brightness can make it difficult to accurately measure the galaxies they ...
Phys.org / Restored wetlands aren't clear-cut wins against climate change, study suggests
Wetland restoration is often promoted as a definitive way to support wildlife, improve water quality and help store carbon. However, new research from McGill University suggests the overall climate picture is more complicated. ...
Phys.org / May, June heat waves caused 2,877 extra deaths in England: govt
Record-breaking heat waves in May and June led to an estimated 2,877 excess deaths in England, the UK Health Security Agency said Wednesday.
Phys.org / Seabirds trade their own survival to raise more chicks after energy-intensive breeding seasons
Wild seabirds that face high energy demands during the breeding season go on to migrate farther and raise more chicks the next year, but at a cost to their own survival. An international team led by researchers from Nagoya ...
Phys.org / Beyond bunny tourism: The hidden consequences of unregulated feeding of rabbits on Okunoshima island
Feeding wild animals is a popular activity at tourist destinations. While these interactions often appear harmless, scientists are recognizing how supplemental feeding of wild animals can alter ecosystems in unexpected ways.
Phys.org / New quantum chip architecture could use built-in vibrations to link distant qubits
A new concept from Warwick researchers could help solve one of the biggest challenges to building large-scale quantum computers: enabling communication between vast numbers of quantum bits (qubits) over long distances across ...
Phys.org / More than half of England 'officially in drought': UK govt
Just over half of England has been declared to be in drought after "record-low rainfall and exceptionally high temperatures," the U.K. government said Wednesday.
Phys.org / Simple semiconductor films break light's front-back symmetry
Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back—like polarized sunglasses that work the same from either side. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to ...
Medical Xpress / How the heart's 'little brain' helps it function and protects it against stress
For years, scientists have known that the heart has its own network of nerves, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), sometimes called its "little brain." Exactly how it functions has remained something of a mystery, ...
Phys.org / Smarter flood planning could protect millions as cities face rising climate risk
Extreme urban flooding is a growing challenge under climate change, threatening residents, infrastructure and urban systems. However, traditional emergency planning often relies on static population data and fixed facilities, ...
