Phys.org / Egg oiling offers a targeted way to reduce raven predation on vulnerable prey
Common ravens are intelligent omnivores that regularly consume the eggs and young of nesting birds, and their populations are boosted by human-provided food and nesting resources. This has resulted in elevated predation by ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify fructose as a surprise driver of cancer spread
A new study from The Wistar Institute has uncovered an unexpected link between fructose—a common dietary sugar—and the spread of an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. Published in Nature Aging, the study found that cancer ...
Phys.org / Forest floors reveal overlooked seed dispersers: Slugs, beetles and crabs spread viable seeds
A review led by the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has revealed that tiny ground-dwelling invertebrates are overlooked but important seed dispersers, challenging the traditional focus on ...
Phys.org / AI models atom movement to predict solid-state reaction pathways, including impurities, in minutes
A research team at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has successfully demonstrated an AI modeling approach that accurately and rapidly predicts how reactions between solid materials ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep replay of learned skills can occur independently of the hippocampus, mouse study finds
Sleep is a crucial physiological process that supports recovery, clears metabolic waste products from the brain, regulates metabolism and supports the functioning of the immune system. Sleep is also known to play a key role ...
Phys.org / Light controls nanoscale 'bubble' domains in a ferroelectric crystal
Researchers at Flinders University have discovered an unexpected way light can control tiny electronic structures inside advanced materials, a development that could help pave the way for more energy-efficient memory devices, ...
Medical Xpress / The value of a refusal: Research targets engagement gaps in opioid overdose care
The most important people in a clinical trial may be the ones who never join it. Every "no" in a clinical trial is usually treated as the end of a conversation, but a new MUSC study suggests it might be the beginning of an ...
Phys.org / Discarded rice husks capture toxic dyes, offering a reusable water filter
Rice is the most-eaten food on the planet, and its discarded outer husk results in some 300 billion pounds of waste per year. FIU chemistry researcher Islam Ibrahim Hussein says the inedible castoffs could be the key to cleaner ...
Tech Xplore / New study highlights the weather-driven costs of 24/7 clean power matching
As demand for electricity surges from artificial intelligence, data centers and other new technologies, companies are increasingly pledging to procure carbon-free electricity to mitigate emissions associated with their electricity ...
Medical Xpress / Meningococcal B vaccine linked to lower gonorrhea risk
The meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine could provide protection against more than one disease, with new research linking it to a significant reduction in the risk of gonorrhea in young Territorians. The study, led by Adelaide ...
Phys.org / Study probes Malaysia's corporate bond strategy: Offering Islamic bonds expanded corporate financing access
In the late 1990s, Malaysia created a new way for corporations to raise money by issuing bonds that comply with Islamic law, which prohibits the payment or collection of interest.
Phys.org / Cells of the same age can follow sharply different biological aging paths
New research reveals that cells of the same chronological age can follow dramatically different biological aging paths, offering new insights into cancer, neurodegeneration and the fundamental biology of aging. Rather than ...
