Phys.org / India generates record power as demand surges in severe heat wave
India's power producers have set a record for electricity generation as swaths of the world's most populous nation swelters in an intense heat wave, the Ministry of Power said.
Medical Xpress / Human health appears unaffected by living near wind turbines
High-resolution data collected across the United States show negligible evidence of adverse health outcomes tied to wind turbine exposure, a study finds. Despite helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, wind turbine installations ...
Phys.org / New field evidence from Canada shows old wells can leave a hidden leakage footprint
Old oil and gas wells may continue to affect the environment long after they have stopped producing, with new field evidence showing that their leakage footprint can be broader and more persistent than surface methane measurements ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic health emerges as key to brain and memory problems in bipolar disorder
While they share similar depressive and cognitive symptoms, the biological underpinnings of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder are distinct. A novel study appearing in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience ...
Phys.org / Proteins that create ice inspire 'cool' applications, from cryomedicine to artificial snow
Bacteria from the Middle East have caused precipitation all the way out in California. The same bacteria, which are known to attack plants, have also been found embedded within lumps of hail in West Africa.
Tech Xplore / Should you accept internet cookies? Researchers say the open web could suffer without them
It's a choice you may face multiple times a day—and, at this point, your reaction is probably reflexive. Are you going to accept those internet cookies, reject them, or spend a little time customizing your settings?
Medical Xpress / 'Garbage collectors' of the brain grind to a halt in fatal multiple system atrophy
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare and fatal brain disorder with no available treatment or cure, attacking the nervous system, balance, and the ability to move. The disease in many ways resembles Parkinson's disease, ...
Phys.org / Migrating charges unlock hard-to-reach C-H bond edits in organic molecules
A team at the University of Vienna, led by chemist Nuno Maulide, has developed a new method for controlling chemical reactions in a more targeted and efficient manner. At the heart of this is the concept of "cation sampling": ...
Phys.org / Bats create 'silent frequency zones' to detect prey in noisy flight, researchers reveal
Sound plays an important role for many animals, helping them navigate and hunt. Echolocation is the ability of animals like bats and dolphins to locate objects by emitting sound waves and interpreting the returning echoes. ...
Tech Xplore / Full fossil fuel phase-out by 2050 would require up to 80% more electricity generation
New research by an international team of scientists finds that fully phasing out fossil fuels worldwide by 2050 would require global electricity generation to expand by roughly 60 to 80% beyond the levels projected in conventional ...
Phys.org / How hidden viruses wake up inside seaweed and pass on to future generations
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have shown that giant viruses long thought to exist only as fleeting, free-living particles that can embed themselves permanently in the genome of a multicellular ...
Medical Xpress / How medical education can revive the physician–scientist pipeline
The physician–scientist has long occupied a unique place in medicine—bridging the laboratory and the clinic, translating scientific discoveries into innovative patient care. But that role is becoming increasingly rare. The ...
