Medical Xpress / UK glaucoma cases higher than expected and projected to reach 1.6 million+ by 2060
The number of people over 40 in the UK living with glaucoma—the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide—is already higher than expected and is projected to surge to more than 1.6 million by 2060, finds research ...
Medical Xpress / Type 2 diabetes prevention could more than halve carbon footprint linked to disease complications
Preventing high blood glucose (pre-diabetes) from turning into type 2 diabetes with lifestyle changes could more than halve the carbon footprint associated with treating the complications of the disease, suggests a modeling ...
Phys.org / Bridging theories across physics helps reconcile controversy about thin liquid layer on icy surfaces
The ice in a domestic freezer is remarkably different from the single crystals that form in snow clouds, or even those formed on a frozen pond. As temperatures drop, ice crystals can grow in a variety of shapes: from stocky ...
Phys.org / New method reveals quantum states using indirect measurements of particle flows
A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.
Phys.org / Sweet signals: Tracking crucial cell messengers for the first time
Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be tracked and analyzed, using a Nobel Prize-winning chemistry technique.
Phys.org / Direct visualization captures hidden spatial order of electrons in a quantum material
The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST researchers have succeeded ...
Phys.org / The future of Antarctic life: Scientists map out five scenarios as climate and human pressures mount
A team of scientists has overcome a major challenge in predicting how Antarctic life will fare under future climate scenarios, revealing five scenarios for the future of Antarctic life.
