Medical Xpress / Coordinated brain network activity during emotional arousal may explain vivid, lasting memories
Past psychology studies suggest that people tend to remember emotional events, such as their wedding, the birth of a child or traumatic experiences, more vividly than neutral events, such as a routine professional meeting. ...
Medical Xpress / Parents who struggle to identify emotions may face higher burnout, alexithymia study finds
Researchers at the Institute of Psychology at the Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw report associations between alexithymia and parental burnout and sex-specific differences.
Phys.org / Big leap in quest to get to bottom of climate ice mystery
Stanislav Kutuzov felt the drillhead he was controlling smash into the rock more than 100 meters below him high on a glacier in the Pamir peaks of Tajikistan. The ice core samples it took could help solve one of climate science's ...
Phys.org / How the plastics industry shifted responsibility for recycling onto you, the consumer
Australia's recycling system has been lurching from one crisis to another for decades. Soft-plastic schemes are collapsing, curbside contamination is on the rise, and states are still struggling to coordinate a coherent national ...
Phys.org / Wildfire risk making timberland less valuable, long harvest rotations less feasible
Rising wildfire risk in the Pacific Northwest combined with notoriously volatile timber pricing may lower forestland values by as much as 50% and persuade plantation owners to harvest trees much earlier than planned, a new ...
Phys.org / Should we build an optical interferometer on the moon?
Earth's atmosphere is an impediment to astronomical observations. Not only is cloudy weather a problem, but temperature fluctuations in the atmosphere mean that ground-based telescopes require sophisticated adaptive optics ...
Phys.org / World on track to dangerous warming as emissions hit record high: UN
National commitments to slash heat-trapping pollution would limit global warming up to 2.5C this century—nowhere near enough to avoid devastating climate impacts despite a sweep of new pledges, the UN warned Tuesday.
Phys.org / Modeling black holes is easier with a flicker of light
A few days ago, I wrote about non-singular black hole models, specifically one known as the Hayward model. Since its introduction in 2006, several variations of the Hayward model have been introduced, including a rotating ...
Phys.org / We've done the science—let's get on with climate action
For three decades now, I have watched Earth warm—not through headlines or politics, but in my own data. Every year, the evidence has become clearer. My colleagues have measured rising CO₂ levels in Antarctic ice cores. ...
Phys.org / Crop rotation delivers higher yields, better nutrition, and increased farm revenues across six continents, study shows
An international study involving INRAE and coordinated by China Agriculture University has shown that the practice of crop rotation outperforms continuous monoculture in terms of yield, nutritional quality and farm revenues. ...
Medical Xpress / Chronic kidney disease is now the ninth leading cause of death, global analysis finds
Record numbers of men and women globally are now estimated to have reduced kidney function, a new study shows. Figures rose from 378 million people with the disease in 1990 to 788 million in 2023 as the world population grew ...
Phys.org / Air-filled anomalies in Menkaure Pyramid could indicate a new entrance
Researchers from Cairo University and TUM, as part of the ScanPyramids research project, have identified two hidden air-filled anomalies in the third-largest pyramid of Giza. The hypothesis of a possible entrance at this ...
