Medical Xpress / 52 kids have died from flu so far this season as child hospitalizations rise
The flu is hitting kids hard this season.
Phys.org / Removing livestock from grasslands could compromise long-term soil carbon storage
Removing sheep and other livestock entirely from upland grasslands—a strategy often promoted as a way to boost carbon storage and tackle climate change—may actually reduce the most stable forms of soil carbon, according ...
Medical Xpress / Back to reality: Better TV depictions of CPR may save lives, new study finds
Physicians have said the HBO Max drama "The Pitt" offers one of the most accurate depictions of medicine on television.
Phys.org / Two-step approach creates more sustainable protein nanostructures for advanced sensing and therapeutics
Gas vesicles are among the largest known protein nanostructures produced and assembled inside microbial cells. These hollow, air-filled cylindrical nanostructures found in certain aquatic microbes have drawn increasing interest ...
Phys.org / Lab-grown algae remove microplastics from water
A University of Missouri researcher is pioneering an innovative solution to remove tiny bits of plastic pollution from our water. Mizzou's Susie Dai recently applied a revolutionary strain of algae toward capturing and removing ...
Phys.org / Complex tongue bones, fleshy teeth on the roof of earliest known bird's mouth might have helped it snag food
Flying is really hard work. Compared to walking, swimming, or running, flying is the form of movement that takes the most energy and requires the most calories. That means that birds have had to evolve specialized ways to ...
Phys.org / A more realistic picture of platinum electrodes
Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum surfaces. This provides a ...
Dialog / Infrared running of gravity offers a field-theoretic route to dark matter phenomena
The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new particles, I propose ...
Phys.org / Banning lead in gas worked: The proof is in our hair
Prior to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, Americans lived in communities awash with lead from industrial sources, paint, water supply pipes and, most significantly, tailpipe emissions. A dangerous ...
Phys.org / How bacteria learned to target numerous cell types
Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that drives constant evolution. ...
Medical Xpress / Brain microenvironment redefines metastatic tumor subtypes, facilitating precision oncology treatment
An interdisciplinary multi-center research team led by the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Hong Kong has constructed the world's largest multi-omics atlas of brain metastases. ...
Phys.org / Resilience bonds could serve as an insurance solution to address climate change risks
Researchers with Lehigh University's Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience, led by anthropologist David G. Casagrande, have identified two urgent challenges the United States faces in adapting to climate change: ...
