COVID-19 made remote work and remote learning a new norm for employees and students. But even as many have returned to offices and schools, one of the pandemic's quieter legacies is influencing both the workplace and the ...
Medical Xpress / Infographics about healthy eating can spark interest among unmotivated young adults, study finds
Young adults who are not motivated to eat healthily can still be engaged with the right type of communication, according to new research from the European Food Information Council (EUFIC). Young adults often face unique dietary ...
Medical Xpress / Cognitive speed training linked to lower dementia incidence up to 20 years later
Adults age 65 and older who completed five to six weeks of cognitive speed training—in this case, speed of processing training, which helps people quickly find visual information on a computer screen and handle increasingly ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting cardiovascular complications in chronic kidney disease using microRNAs in blood
Tiny RNA molecules carried by extracellular vesicles in the bloodstream can accurately predict kidney function decline and cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD), as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. ...
Phys.org / New metric reveals the true water footprint of corporations
Thousands of companies around the world now regularly disclose aspects of their water use as part of corporate commitments to environmental, social, and governance goals. Yet reliable measures of corporate water withdrawals ...
Phys.org / Research unveils disparities in hate act experiences
While the number of Californians ages 12 and older who said they experienced a hate act increased in 2024, a new UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR) study showed how someone's likelihood to experience a hate act ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Researchers discuss potential solutions for the feedback loop affecting scientific publishing
Scientists share their work by publishing articles in journals, such as Nature, Science or PLOS Biology. One major part of the publishing process involves having these manuscripts reviewed by unpaid peers. These scientists ...
Phys.org / Physicists develop new method to measure universe's expansion rate
We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These methods are internally consistent ...
Phys.org / Rising carbon dioxide levels now detected in human blood
Rising carbon dioxide levels are being detected within the human body, with new research warning a key blood marker for the gas could near its healthy limit within decades if current trends continue. The findings are especially ...
Phys.org / A new scientific discipline to ensure humanity's deep future
Will humanity extend into the far future? It's likely many of us think it should. The problem is that each of us, individually and collectively, act otherwise—we are destroying the environment and climate at every turn. ...
Phys.org / Greenland's largest glacier could soon reach a tipping point, scientists say
Greenland's largest glacier, Jakobshavn Glacier, may be edging closer to a critical threshold as meltwater runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet accelerates in ways not seen in over a century, according to new research published ...
Phys.org / Metasurface-based SLM could enhance AR, VR and LiDAR performance
Many cutting-edge technologies, ranging from augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems, rely on components that enable the precise control of light. These components include ...
