Phys.org / Record-energy neutrino may have begun its journey in blazars
Three years ago, in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the passage of an "ultra-energetic" cosmic neutrino was observed—the most energetic ever detected. The event drew international attention from the scientific community ...
Medical Xpress / New Jersey's opioid gap persists as high-risk counties fall further behind
Opioids such as fentanyl are "indiscriminate killers" that can be misused by people from all walks of life. But where you live may be more influential than previously realized, according to researchers at Rutgers University.
Phys.org / Microbes hitchhiking on marine snow could limit how deep carbon sinks
In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers to the deepest parts ...
Medical Xpress / Circadian rhythm drives metabolic dysfunction in fat cells, study finds
Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism and director of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, have discovered how disruptions in ...
Phys.org / Lost page of the Archimedes Palimpsest identified in Blois, central France
A page long believed to have been lost from the Archimedes Palimpsest, one of the most important surviving manuscripts of antiquity, has been identified at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Blois, central France, by a CNRS researcher. ...
Phys.org / Baltic herring fishing rules may need an update after new genetic mapping
Herring from different parts of the Baltic Sea belong to distinct populations genetically adapted to local differences in salinity and temperature. However, these populations can also mix with each other, according to a new ...
Phys.org / Study warns Colombia could lose one-fifth of cocoa land by 2050
By 2050, nearly 20% of the areas currently suitable for cocoa cultivation in Colombia could lose the climate conditions needed for production, particularly in the lowlands of the Caribbean region and the country's northeastern ...
Phys.org / Ocean carbon removal looks promising, but nutrient cycling could curb long-term gains
There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. ...
Phys.org / From carp to crocodilians: Why deliberately introduced freshwater giants may bring hidden risks
More than 40% of extant large freshwater animals (megafauna), including carp, salmonids, crocodilians, turtles, beavers, and hippopotamuses, have been deliberately introduced outside their natural range, often for economic ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer drug reduces early Alzheimer's-like brain hyperconnectivity in lab tests
Neuroscientists at King's College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Published in Translational Psychiatry, the study also ...
Phys.org / An interstellar comet packed with alcohol? What ALMA found in 3I/ATLAS
Comet 3I/ATLAS continues to make astonishing headlines, thanks to new findings from astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This new research reveals that 3I/ATLAS is packed with an unusually ...
Phys.org / Pathogenic virus infects and structurally reorganizes human cells, finds new study
Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat. Researchers from the Medical ...
