Phys.org / Widening beaches make California 500 acres bigger than it was 40 years ago
Southern California's beaches have grown more than 500 acres over the past four decades despite being one of the most heavily urbanized and dammed coastal regions in the world, according to a new study conducted by researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep disruption damages gut's self-repair ability via stress signals from brain: A biological chain reaction
Chronic sleep disruption doesn't just leave people tired and irritable. It may quietly undermine the gut's ability to repair itself, increasing vulnerability to serious digestive diseases. A new study from the University ...
Medical Xpress / Preclinical study successfully reverses loss of blood flow to brain, an early sign of Alzheimer's disease
Supriya Chakraborty might have been studying insects in a lab had it not been for an immunology college instructor in India who taught him about the superheroes inside him—immune cells that wage a battle against bacteria, ...
Phys.org / Turning nitrate pollution into green fuel: A 3D COF enables highly efficient ammonia electrosynthesis
Ammonia (NH3) is essential for fertilizers and emerging carbon-free energy technologies, yet its conventional production via the Haber-Bosch process is energy-intensive and CO2-emitting. Researchers from Tohoku University ...
Phys.org / Did trees in the Dolomites anticipate a solar eclipse? Not quite, say researchers
Around 14 hours before a partial solar eclipse passed over the Dolomites in Northern Italy, a group of spruce trees showed a sudden, synchronized increase in electrical activity. Previous research by Alessandro Chiolerio ...
Tech Xplore / New AI system pushes the time limits of generative video
A team of EPFL researchers has taken a major step towards resolving the problem of drift in generative video, which is what causes sequences to become incoherent after a handful of seconds. Their breakthrough paves the way ...
Phys.org / Concert formats measurably change audience experience, classical music study finds
Orchestras and festival organizers continually develop and experiment with new concert formats for classical music. But do these formats actually have an impact on audiences? A research team led by the Max Planck Institute ...
Medical Xpress / 'Sticky coat' boosts triple negative breast cancer's ability to metastasize
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a strategy that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells use to boost their ability to metastasize, or spread to other organs. Metastasis is the leading cause of ...
Phys.org / Smartwatch study shows stadium atmosphere spikes heart rate and stress levels
Fans of DSC Arminia Bielefeld experience matchday excitement far more intensely in the stadium than in front of the television when watching football (soccer). A study from Bielefeld University demonstrates clear differences ...
Medical Xpress / AI model reads brain MRIs in seconds, hitting up to 97.5% accuracy
An AI-powered model developed at the University of Michigan can read a brain MRI and diagnose a person in seconds, a study suggests. The model detected neurological conditions with up to 97.5% accuracy and predicted how urgently ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers successfully 3D print one of industry's hardest engineering materials
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an economically sensible ...
Phys.org / When the interaction between fungi and bacteria becomes a dangerous alliance
Rivals or allies—how do bacteria and fungi interact in our bodies? Until now, bacteria on our mucous membranes were primarily considered to be antagonists of fungi, as they can inhibit their growth. However, an international ...
