Medical Xpress / Teen vaping quit attempts nearly doubled after 2019 ads and lung injury coverage
Researchers from the University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science have found that both anti-vaping advertising and widespread news coverage of a lung-injury outbreak ...
Medical Xpress / Stiffer tumor tissue may accelerate cancer spread and rewire nearby cells
The stiffness of tumor tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumor tissue leaves traces in the affected cells, according to two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better ...
Medical Xpress / Wondering if you're a 'light' or 'deep' sleeper? The science isn't that simple
Not everyone can sleep through rumbling traffic or a spouse's incessant snoring. If you do, you may pride yourself on being a "deep" or "heavy" sleeper. If you struggle to fall or stay asleep, you may consider yourself a ...

Dialog / Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely believed to consist of dark matter and dark energy. Paradoxically, however, the nature of these dark ...
Phys.org / Classical physics can explain quantum weirdness, study shows
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that same ball down to the size ...
Phys.org / US climate sees decline in both hot and cold extreme temperatures since 1899, researchers claim
