A total of 27.2 million people of all ages were uninsured in 2024, marking a nonsignificant increase from 25.0 million in 2023, according to early estimates from the National Health Interview Survey, 2024, released by the ...
Phys.org / Major reports about how climate change affects the US are removed from websites
Legally mandated U.S. national climate assessments seem to have disappeared from the federal websites built to display them, making it harder for state and local governments and the public to learn what to expect in their ...
Phys.org / 'Demonised': Polish scientists warn of fear mongering about wolves
Scientist Roman Gula showed images of wolves filmed in a nearby forest with hidden cameras to locals in the Polish town of Konskie, assuring them they pose no threat.
Phys.org / Quantum equivalent of thermodynamics' second law discovered for entanglement manipulation
Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum world. This second law of ...
Phys.org / Rare blue proteins from cold-adapted microbes could serve as prototypes for molecular on-off switches
Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold groundwater in Finland. As cold and beautiful as these are, for the structural biologist Kirill Kovalev, ...
Phys.org / New method removes mysterious organelles from stem cells and embryos to reveal their roles
By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical organelles. Their findings, ...
Tech Xplore / Pilot program integrates AI-generated notes with human community notes on X platform
X (formerly Twitter) launched its "Community Notes" program in 2021 to combat misinformation by allowing users to add contextual notes on posts that might be deceptive or lead to misinterpretation. An example would be users ...
Phys.org / Frozen, but not sealed: Arctic Ocean remained open to life during ice ages, study suggests
For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ice ages. Now, a new study published in Science Advances challenges this idea as the research team ...
Phys.org / Climate change cuts milk production, even when farmers cool their cows
While recent studies have shown climate change will cut crop production, there has been less research into its impacts on livestock.
Tech Xplore / Robotic probe quickly measures semiconductor properties to accelerate solar panel development
Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. But the pace of innovation is bottlenecked by the speed at which researchers can manually ...
Tech Xplore / Researcher develops 'SpeechSSM,' opening up possibilities for a 24-hour AI voice assistant
Recently, spoken language models (SLMs) have been highlighted as next-generation technology that surpasses the limitations of text-based language models by learning human speech without text to understand and generate linguistic ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum machine learning improves semiconductor manufacturing for first time
Semiconductor processing is notoriously challenging. It is one of the most intricate feats of modern engineering due to the extreme precision required and the hundreds of steps involved, such as etching and layering, to make ...
