Along a quarter of the planet's coastal waterways, humans contribute more harmful nitrogen—via agricultural runoff, wastewater discharges and other activities—than all natural sources combined.
Tech Xplore / Kids and social media: What would change under new EU law
The EU laid out plans Thursday for strict age limits for children to access social media, games and AI assistants—and to force companies to make platforms safe before minors use them.
Medical Xpress / New findings shed light on rare newly identified TCF7L2-related neurodevelopmental disorder
Researchers have completed the largest study to date of TCF7L2-related neurodevelopmental disorder (TRND), a rare genetic condition caused by changes in the TCF7L2 gene, which plays an important role in brain development. ...
Phys.org / Diamond quantum sensors can detect heart magnetism at room temperature without skin contact
Physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a technology that uses quantum sensors to measure biomagnetic signals, such as heart activity. Researchers from the DIAQNOS (DIAmond-based Quantum Sensing ...
Medical Xpress / Wildfire smoke may be more harmful than other air pollution, two studies find
As climate change drives more frequent and intense wildfires, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have published two large-scale studies showing that wildfire smoke may pose greater health risks than ...
Phys.org / Urban fire risk rises 30% in higher-income neighborhoods, analysis finds
Frequently located on hillsides and in canyons surrounded by wildlands, wealthy neighborhoods are more likely to catch fire. However, a UC Riverside study shows they are also likely to recover faster than lower-income areas.
Phys.org / Genome assembly of rice stink bug offers new data-informed tool in fight against costly pest
Scientists are getting a leg up on the rice stink bug, one of the most significant threats to rice, a staple food for nearly half the world's population and a major crop in Arkansas.
Phys.org / Black holes from stellar to supermassive size may follow one jet-launching rule
An early-career Western Australian astrophysicist has helped uncover a universal rule behind one of the most powerful behaviors in the universe: when black holes launch jets. The discovery, published in the journal Nature ...
Phys.org / Wild honeybee populations in the EU are on the Red List for the first time
Populations of the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera) are under immense pressure in the wild in Europe. New research published in Conservation Science and Practice from the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart and Agroscope ...
Tech Xplore / MRI technique eliminates 'dead time' to capture rapidly fading signals, making scans more precise
A team of researchers at the University of Stuttgart has developed a new method that could make MRI even more precise by eliminating "dead time," a key limiting factor in the measurement process, thereby enabling the detection ...
Phys.org / Opt-out AI training plan could weaken Australian copyright protections
The ground is shifting beneath the feet of Australian authors and other creatives. A leaked proposal seen by the ABC suggests the government might grant artificial intelligence (AI) companies access to the copyrighted works ...
Medical Xpress / For people with a rare skin disorder, high allergy risk adds another burden
For as long as Laura Hogan, 69, can remember, living with the rare skin condition lamellar ichthyosis has meant more than managing painful blisters and scaly skin. Throughout her life, she also has dealt with food allergies, ...
