Phys.org / AI can complement traditional weather models by offering guidance on tropical cyclones several days before they form
A new study examining tropical cyclone forecasts in the Atlantic Ocean suggests that artificial intelligence could provide valuable additional guidance for predicting when and where tropical disturbances may develop into ...
Phys.org / How fusion reactions can survive flaws—up to a point
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have found that implosions designed for inertial fusion energy (IFE) can tolerate significant imperfections before performance abruptly declines, a finding that ...
Phys.org / Listening for extinction: Study finds areas of critical concern for northern spotted owls
Northern spotted owl populations are approaching or have already crossed functional extinction across large areas of the Pacific Northwest, a new study, published in Ecological Applications found. Researchers used artificial ...
Phys.org / A tiny drop of water is all that's needed to find threatened frogs
New James Cook University research has used highly sensitive environmental DNA (e-DNA) techniques to find two species of threatened frogs in places they've never been seen before—and find another still struggling to recover ...
Medical Xpress / Registry-based model predicts hip fracture risk better than current screening
A machine-learning tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk with high accuracy without an in-person assessment and identifies far more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening ...
Phys.org / Computer models pinpoint catalysts for replacing fossil-fueled ammonia production
Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals produced in the world, ranking second only to sulfuric acid in the total volume produced each year. It is used mostly to make fertilizer, which is essential to feeding the world's ...
Medical Xpress / Swimming in rivers and lakes linked to higher risk of stomach bugs and rashes
People swimming in rivers and lakes could be putting themselves at risk of nasty skin conditions and stomach bugs, according to a new study from the University of East Anglia. The researchers found that people who swam in ...
Phys.org / Corners in focus: Metasurface enables motion tracking without digital image processing
A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has developed a new optical corner-detection imaging method that uses azimuthal Hilbert transform metasurfaces and is designed to work as a universal framework. The ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking cellular 'freecycling' may slow bone marrow scarring in myelofibrosis
In a new study published in Nature Communications, Boston Children's Hospital researchers identified a new target responsible for scar formation in the bone marrow of patients with a type of blood cancer known as myelofibrosis. ...
Phys.org / Tides can vary by almost a meter across a single bay, four decades of satellite images reveal
Tide levels can vary by almost a meter across a single bay, according to a new study that uses decades of satellite images to measure tides at the scale of individual beaches.
Medical Xpress / Bird bulking: Exercise in youth decreases energy used for moving as an adult
Physical activity in adulthood may depend on exercise during growth, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. The study, conducted in birds, is the first to directly demonstrate that experiences during development ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows sharp increase in rate of unintentional ingestions of recreational drugs among young children since 2000
A new study reveals that unintentional ingestions of recreational drugs by young children have increased dramatically in the past 25 years. Researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of the Abigail Wexner Research ...
