Phys.org / Managing hydrogen emissions is key to maximizing climate benefits as hydrogen use expands, say researchers
Current estimates of hydrogen's climate impact are now sufficiently robust to inform policy and business decision-making, according to researchers in a new review article on the climate impacts of hydrogen emissions.
Phys.org / 'Mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres similar to diesel exhaust
The astronauts circling Earth on the Artemis mission sent back beautiful clear photos of the continents, clouds, and oceans. But we might be the exception. Many planets in the universe may be hazed in clouds of soot, according ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol linked to higher risk across multiple cancers, even below one drink daily
A new study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington provides the most comprehensive and conservative analysis to date of alcohol's complex relationship with health, showing ...
Phys.org / Leafy camouflage reshapes katydid love songs, making males more attractive to females
New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered that insects who conceal themselves as leaves also use their leafy camouflage to amplify mating calls, making themselves more attractive to the opposite sex. The ...
Phys.org / Climate-based tool predicts coral bleaching months in advance, offering critical lead time for reef protection
Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have developed a new method to predict coral bleaching five to six months before it occurs, giving reef managers valuable time to protect vulnerable ecosystems. ...
Medical Xpress / RFK Jr. seeks to peek at Americans' medical records for clues on autism and vaccines
U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pursuing federal government access to most Americans' medical records, in a quest to research a link between vaccines and autism—a connection the medical establishment studied ...
Medical Xpress / Common blood pressure medication associated with poorer kidney outcomes in type 2 diabetes
New research presented at the 63rd ERA Congress suggests that a widely used class of blood pressure medications may be associated with poorer kidney outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), even among patients already ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon capture gets more flexible: New electrochemical method could lower energy use
Carbon capture is an important climate change mitigation strategy, but it faces technological barriers and can be energy-intensive and expensive. To help make necessary advances in this area, a team of MIT researchers, with ...
Phys.org / School in a hot world: What research is saying about children's health and learning
Climate change is making southern Africa hotter. While much attention has focused on climate impacts such as droughts, floods and food insecurity, another crisis is unfolding quietly inside classrooms. Research has shown ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers improve efficiency, durability of nickel-based SOECs for electrochemical CO₂ conversion
A Korean research team has resolved a major durability issue in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value chemical feedstocks. Researchers at the Korea Research ...
Phys.org / Nine decades of changing insect diversity in Switzerland expose a striking divide
Thanks to a historical data archive, Swiss researchers are able to draw conclusions about the changes in the diversity of two insect groups over the past 90 years. The study, led by Agroscope, identified a significant decline ...
