Phys.org / Cleaner ship fuel linked to reduced lightning in key shipping lanes
Cuts in sulfur emissions from oceangoing vessels have been tied to a reduction in lightning stroke density along heavily trafficked shipping routes in the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea, according to new research from ...
Medical Xpress / Exposure to wildfire smoke late in pregnancy may raise autism risk in children
Exposure to wildfire smoke during the final months of pregnancy may raise the risk that a child is later diagnosed with autism, according to a new study led by Tulane University researchers.
Medical Xpress / A closer look at how local protein production is altered in ALS
The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of proteins. Proteins are synthesized both inside cells (i.e., in the soma) and locally along axons, projections ...
Medical Xpress / B cells play a more sinister role than believed in progression of type 1 diabetes
A recent study by Vanderbilt Health researchers has revealed a greater, detrimental role for B lymphocytes (B cells) in the progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Phys.org / Previously unknown chemical pathway for air pollution particle formation uncovered
An atmospheric scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has helped uncover a previously unknown chemical pathway that plays a major role in the formation of air ...
Medical Xpress / Routine eye screening provides a window to heart health in type 2 diabetes
Recent findings have shown that routine eye screening could also be used for early detection of underlying heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
Phys.org / A century's worth of data could help predict future solar cycle activity
Research conducted by an international team of astronomers from Southwest Research Institute, Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences in India and the Max Planck Institute in Germany could help predict upcoming ...
Tech Xplore / Thermomagnetic generator harvests ocean temperature differences to power maritime sensors
The key to future technologies can sometimes be found in the past. What Ravi Kishore is working to perfect, for example, has its origins in the 19th century imaginations of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
Phys.org / Seawater microbes offer new, non-invasive way to detect coral disease
Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), in collaboration with the University of the Virgin Islands have discovered that microorganisms in seawater surrounding corals provide a powerful indicator of ...
Tech Xplore / Lightweight sensor tech could eliminate need for toxic aircraft de-icing fluid
Ice detection technology developed by researchers at the University of Toronto could speed up the de-icing process for aircraft and other aerospace vehicles, helping to prevent costly flight delays.
Phys.org / ChatGPT found to reflect and intensify existing global social disparities
New research from the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, and the University of Kentucky, finds that ChatGPT systematically favors wealthier, Western regions in response to questions ranging from "Where ...
Phys.org / Tracer reveals how environmental DNA moves through lakes and rivers
Forensics experts gather DNA to understand who was present at a crime scene. But what if the crime occurred in the middle of a lake, where DNA could be carried far and wide by wind and waves? That's the challenge faced by ...
