Medical Xpress / A year after forgiving, people report stronger mental health and pro-social character
Can forgiving someone today leave you with an improved sense of well-being a year from now? A new study of residents of 22 countries says yes. The caveat, though, is that the size of the impact varies by nation, as does its ...
Phys.org / Examining embryo model ethics beyond box-checking
In science, ethical guidelines ensure that research takes place in a way that respects public trust and is conducted responsibly. Traditional ethics approval procedures work well for projects following established practices, ...
Medical Xpress / Diabetes prevalence in American neighborhoods is influenced by historic and contemporary structural racism: Study
Diabetes is more prevalent in neighborhoods where historic residential redlining occurred and where contemporary structural racism persists, according to a new study by University at Buffalo population health researchers. ...
Medical Xpress / Fat-producing enzyme may amplify damage in Parkinson's disease
A fat-producing enzyme in brain cells may play a key role in driving damage in Parkinson's disease and could offer a new target for treatment, scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have ...
Phys.org / New research shows how forests can prevent floods of all sizes
As large floods occur more frequently worldwide, many wonder what led to such devastating events. Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, improper land management and forest removal increase flood frequencies and ...
Phys.org / Ant larvae control parental care by using odor signals
In the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi), workers in a colony alternate between caring for larvae and laying eggs in a coordinated cycle. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena have discovered ...
Phys.org / New AI method flags fluid flow tipping points before simulations break down
David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to detect sudden changes in fluid behavior, improving speed and the cost of identifying these instabilities ...

After successfully completing their mission to the moon, the Artemis II crew are about to return to Earth.
Phys.org / Could we actually terraform Mars? A new scientific roadmap lays out the blueprint—and the risks
Reading the "Mars Trilogy" by Kim Stanley Robinson brings the benefits and pitfalls of efforts to terraform the red planet into sharp relief. Since the 1970s, when Carl Sagan first suggested the possibility that we could ...
Medical Xpress / Overlooked non-coding genes cause diabetes in babies, study reveals
Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes of disease in "coding" ...
Phys.org / Skills overtake age as economic driver in China, analysis finds
As the global aging population advances and countries face shrinking workforces, a new study focusing on China by IIASA researchers and colleagues from Nanjing University reveals how economic growth can persist despite these ...
Phys.org / Spatiotemporal correlation-based AI developed for bias correction of atmospheric and oceanic variables
Daily travel plans and early warnings for extreme weather all rely on traditional numerical weather prediction. However, both traditional numerical weather prediction and AI forecasting large models have long suffered from ...
