The relationships human societies have with animals aren't fixed, but vary according to era, culture, territory and customs.
Medical Xpress / New targeted therapy shows promise against aggressive childhood and adult cancers
Researchers at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine have developed a new targeted cancer therapy that can precisely seek out and destroy tumor cells—showing strong results in preclinical studies that bring ...
Phys.org / Apple byproducts could power vehicles and feed livestock
A new study published in Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining highlights an innovative approach to transforming apple pomace—an often-discarded by-product of apple processing—into valuable bioethanol and animal feed ingredients. ...
Phys.org / The science of coziness: A textiles expert explains feather down, bamboo, polyester duvets
As the weather cools in the southern hemisphere and energy prices climb, many of us are trying to stay warm without cranking the heating.
Phys.org / Each protein in the epigenome produces a different pattern of gene expression, study finds
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off. Essentially, each type of protein that interacts with a gene produces different behaviors—a ...
Tech Xplore / 'Seeing clearly even in the fog'—a next-generation infrared image sensor for autonomous driving
Infrared sensors that detect the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region can clearly recognize objects not only during the day and at night, but also in fog or smoke, making them a key component of future intelligent technologies ...
Tech Xplore / Cheaper, longer-lasting batteries are closer thanks to a pinch of sodium and a supercomputer
The Expanse supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences has played an important role in helping researchers design the next ...
Phys.org / Research shows community help essential for native bats
Community help is no longer just nice to have in the world of bat conservation, it is essential to large-scale bat monitoring and the protection of threatened and understudied species, according to new research from Murdoch ...
Tech Xplore / 'Liquid droplet mops' clean solar panels with 99.9% efficiency, cutting water use by 80%
With the rapid expansion of the global solar energy industry, the number of solar panels has surged in recent years. However, pollutants accumulating on panel surfaces can significantly reduce energy conversion efficiency ...
Phys.org / What we lose when AI does our shopping
Americans spend a remarkable amount of time shopping—more than on education, volunteering or even talking on the phone. But the way they shop is shifting dramatically, as major platforms and retailers are racing to automate ...
Medical Xpress / Long-acting HIV shots appeal to many but uptake remains low
When it comes to HIV medication, many patients think they'd prefer an occasional injection over a daily pill, but uptake remains an issue, according to a Rutgers Health-led survey. When researchers surveyed 801 people living ...
Phys.org / Scientists focus on the challenges of working and living in outer space
Long-duration spaceflight can chip away at an astronaut's health, prompting scientists to find new ways to make living in space easier on the body. The journey to outer space is incredibly dangerous, but crews must also face ...
