Peer reflection on microteaching plays a crucial role in teachers' training programs as it equips novice teachers with opportunities to understand their peers' practices. It enhances their reflective thinking, teaching awareness, ...
Phys.org / Tiny titans of recovery: Fossil burrows reveal resilient micro-ecosystem after global mass extinction
An international team of scientists from South Africa, Canada, France and the UK has uncovered fossil evidence of a tiny ecosystem that helped kick-start the recovery of Earth's oceans after a global mass extinction.
Medical Xpress / European women's lung cancer mortality rates predicted to level off by 2026
After increasing for more than 25 years, lung cancer death rates are finally leveling off among women in European Union (EU) countries apart from Spain, according to predictions of mortality rates from the disease for 2026.
Tech Xplore / Scientists uncover new quantum state that could power future technologies
Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading to advancements in computing, sensing and materials science.
Phys.org / Organic solvents enable chirality control in inorganic crystals
Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate left- and right-handed ...
Phys.org / Mummified cheetahs found in Saudi caves shed light on lost populations
Scientists have uncovered the mummified remains of cheetahs from caves in northern Saudi Arabia.
Phys.org / Sinking boreal trees in the deep Arctic Ocean could remove billions of tons of carbon each year
Global efforts to reduce pollution will not be enough to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, scientists say. We will also need to extract over 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year for the ...
Phys.org / Persistent shock wave around dead star puzzles astronomers
Gas and dust flowing from stars can, under the right conditions, clash with a star's surroundings and create a shock wave. Now, astronomers using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have imaged ...
Medical Xpress / No clear evidence that cannabis-based medicines relieve chronic nerve pain, updated review finds
There is no clear evidence that cannabis-based medicines provide pain relief for chronic neuropathic pain, an updated review in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews finds.
Phys.org / Scientist wins 'Environment Nobel' for shedding light on hidden fungal networks
Beneath the surface of forests, grasslands and farms across the world, vast fungal webs form underground trading systems to exchange nutrients with plant roots, acting as critical climate regulators as they draw down 13 billion ...
Phys.org / Utah's other Great Salt Lake is underground, ancient, deep....and fresh
Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. ...
Medical Xpress / The protein periostin may promote the spread of pancreatic cancer—and pain—through nerves
A new Brazilian study has revealed the key role of the protein periostin and stellate pancreatic cells in allowing pancreatic cancer to infiltrate nerves and spread early, increasing the risk of metastasis. The research demonstrates ...
