Phys.org / Board games boost young kids' math skills, research review shows
Playing linear number board games, those where players move pieces along a straight numbered path, can significantly strengthen young children's math skills, according to a new report by the HEDCO Institute for Evidence-Based ...
Medical Xpress / The stop-smoking medication varenicline may also work for cannabis use disorder
A new randomized controlled trial has found promising evidence that the smoking cessation medication varenicline (Chantix/Champix) can help people with cannabis use disorder (CUD) to reduce cannabis use. CUD is a rising problem ...
Phys.org / Impact of darkwaves on marine ecosystems revealed
An international team of scientists has developed ways to measure and compare the impact of "darkwaves"—when extreme weather events or human activities reduce underwater light for extended periods, affecting the stability ...
Phys.org / Western populations endorse support for Ukraine despite nuclear escalation fears, finds study
Most people in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy clearly endorse military support for Ukraine. They overwhelmingly reject Russia's positions on territorial claims and restrictions on Ukraine's ...
Medical Xpress / Fruit fly pigmentation guides discovery of genes that control brain dopamine and sleep
Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to conditions like Parkinson's disease, depression and sleep disorders. While scientists know a great ...
Tech Xplore / Smart gate paves way for reliable hydrogen from seawater
Researchers have developed a simple, scalable way to reliably generate hydrogen with impure water, such as seawater or industrial wastewater.
Phys.org / A dry surface thanks to fluid physics: Contact-free method gently remove liquids from delicate microstructures
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to generate surface currents ...
Phys.org / The path to solar weather forecasts is paved with drops in cosmic rays
At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ways to forecast it, ...
Medical Xpress / When a virus releases the immune brake: New evidence on the onset of multiple sclerosis
Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of them, it remains unclear why this process begins. Researchers have now identified how the Epstein-Barr ...
Medical Xpress / Novel immunotherapy demonstrates early potential to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint therapy
According to a Phase I study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published in Nature Medicine, the novel monoclonal antibody linavonkibart has demonstrated the potential to overcome treatment ...
Phys.org / Melting glaciers may mix up waters more than we thought
As marine-terminating glaciers melt, the resulting freshwater is released at the seafloor, which mixes with salty seawater and influences circulation patterns. As the oceans warm, it's growing increasingly important to study ...
Medical Xpress / Immune response to Epstein-Barr virus linked to brain damage in multiple sclerosis
The immune system's reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), according to new research from Karolinska Institutet, published in Cell. The study provides ...
