Phys.org / Detailed map reveals groundwater levels across the U.S.
How much fresh water is in the United States? It's a tough question, since most of the water is underground, accessible at varying depths. In previous decades, it's been answered indirectly from data on rainfall and evaporation. ...
Phys.org / Two simple modifications cool Kenyan homes and keep mosquitoes out
Researchers in Kenya have identified two low-cost solutions that tackle the twin challenges of rising temperatures and malaria transmission.
Phys.org / A 'cosmic clock' in tiny crystals reveals the rise and fall of Australia's ancient landscapes
Australia's iconic red landscapes have been home to Aboriginal culture and recorded in songlines for tens of thousands of years. But further clues to just how ancient this landscape is come from far beyond Earth: cosmic rays ...
Medical Xpress / HIF1 protein identified as key trigger in common tendon diseases
Complaints such as pain in the Achilles tendon, tennis elbow, swimmer's shoulder and jumper's knee are familiar to many young sportspeople, as well as to older individuals. These conditions are all caused by overloading of ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover 19 new pulsars by analyzing FAST archival data
Astronomers from Nanjing University in China have analyzed the archival data from the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), searching for new pulsars. As a result, they detected 19 such objects that ...
Phys.org / Human–wildlife conflict in Zimbabwe is a crisis: Who is in danger, where, and why?
In the fishing villages along Lake Kariba in northern Zimbabwe, near the border with Zambia, everyday routines that should be ordinary—like collecting water, walking to the fields or casting a fishing net—now carry a ...
Medical Xpress / Pregnant people with IBD show heightened inflammation in vaginal mucosa
Pregnant individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have higher levels of pro-inflammatory immune molecules, known as cytokines, in their vaginal mucosa than their healthy counterparts, according to a new study by ...
Medical Xpress / How psoriasis affects joints: Researchers discover how inflammatory cells migrate from the skin
Approximately 20% to 30% of all people who suffer from psoriasis also develop painful inflammation in their joints over time. If left untreated, this condition known as psoriatic arthritis can lead to permanent damage to ...
Tech Xplore / The best hydrogen for heavy-duty transport is locally produced and green, say researchers
If trucks ran on hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions from heavy-duty road transport could be significantly reduced. At the same time, a new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows ...
Tech Xplore / A pendulum-based system allows energy to be extracted from ocean currents
Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new system designed by Francisco Huera, a researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the ...
Phys.org / What happens when fire ignites in space? 'A ball of flame'
When fire breaks out in the low-gravity, high-stakes conditions inside spacecraft or space stations, it behaves very differently than back here on Earth.
Phys.org / Scientist wins 'Environment Nobel' for shedding light on hidden fungal networks
Beneath the surface of forests, grasslands and farms across the world, vast fungal webs form underground trading systems to exchange nutrients with plant roots, acting as critical climate regulators as they draw down 13 billion ...
