Phys.org / Ecosystem productivity shapes how soil microbes store or release carbon, challenging old assumptions
Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a result, the global soil carbon cycle—by which carbon enters, moves through, and leaves soils worldwide—exerts ...
Medical Xpress / Medical-grade near-infrared light therapy shows promise for protecting football players' brains
Punch-drunk syndrome, boxer's madness, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The name has changed over the years, but the cause is clear: repeated impacts can affect long-term brain health, with symptoms ranging from confusion ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals weight loss medications may improve outcomes for chronic sinus disease patients
A new study published in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery reveals that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs)—a class of medications primarily used for weight loss and diabetes management—may significantly ...
Medical Xpress / Enzyme-blocking treatment reverses chronic pain in preclinical study
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, yet for decades, treatment options for pain that persists in the absence of inflammation have been limited. Seventy-five percent of these patients, disproportionately women, ...
Tech Xplore / Thermomagnetic generator harvests ocean temperature differences to power maritime sensors
The key to future technologies can sometimes be found in the past. What Ravi Kishore is working to perfect, for example, has its origins in the 19th century imaginations of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
