Phys.org / Single-shot imaging captures more information about ultrafast microscopic processes than previously possible
Researchers have developed a new imaging technique that captures more information about ultrafast processes in the microscopic world than was previously possible. The technique offers scientists a powerful new tool to observe ...
Phys.org / Why treelines don't simply rise with the climate
A global study by the University of Basel, Switzerland, reveals a surprising picture: While 42% of treelines worldwide are shifting upslope, 25% are retreating. This seemingly contradictory trend involves more than just warming. ...
Phys.org / Keeping roads and train lines open during India's monsoon floods
Seasonal monsoon rains in India turn crops lush and fill essential water reservoirs. They can also cause roads to flood and bring train travel to a standstill, impacting the economic heartbeat of cities and towns.
Medical Xpress / A single gene switch falters in heart failure—and CRISPR can revive it
In heart failure, the heart can no longer supply the body with enough blood. The condition often develops over many years, for example, due to high blood pressure or other long-term strain on the heart muscle. At first, the ...
Phys.org / Preventing the spread of a deadly virus to Pennsylvania's rabbits and hares
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus type 2 is a terrible way for any animal to die, especially creatures as gentle as these. Highly contagious and lethal, it threatens wild and domestic rabbits. First detected in the United ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover the antibacterial potential of 'hero' Korean skincare ingredient
Fans of Korean skincare may be familiar with "hero ingredient" Madecassic acid for its skin-soothing properties, but researchers at Kent have revealed its greater potential for use in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Medical Xpress / Breastfeeding at least three months tied to lower weight gain decades later
Breastfeeding not only affects your weight while you are breastfeeding—women gain up to 6.5 kilos less on average later in life if they breastfeed for at least three months, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Researchers develop AI-driven air quality monitoring system
Johannesburg's air quality has never really been measured systematically. Like many other cities across the globe, scientists have battled to develop cost-effective monitoring systems that provide accurate real-time data ...
Medical Xpress / Just how bad are generative AI chatbots for our mental health?
Generative AI chatbots are now used by more than 987 million people globally, including around 64% of American teens, according to recent estimates. Increasingly, people are using these chatbots for advice, emotional support, ...
Phys.org / Tiny plankton have big impact on harmful algal bloom predictions, data reveal
As climate change intensifies harmful algal blooms worldwide, an international team led by Hiroshima University has developed a hybrid modeling approach that combines algal movement simulations, AI, and long-term monitoring ...
Phys.org / AI trained like a Rubik's Cube solver simplifies particle physics equations
For years, Rutgers physicist David Shih solved Rubik's Cubes with his children, twisting the colorful squares until the scrambled puzzle returned to order. He didn't expect the toy to connect to his research, but recently ...
Phys.org / World's largest study of human flourishing opens its data to the public
The Global Flourishing Study (GFS), the most comprehensive empirical investigation of human flourishing ever undertaken, has made its first two waves of data publicly available through the Center for Open Science at no cost ...
