Phys.org / Between eternal night and day, the faces of two cousins of Earth
An international team including the University of Bern (UNIBE) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), members of the National Center of Competence in Research PlanetS, has succeeded in mapping the climate of rocky exoplanets ...
Phys.org / Future-proofing livestock vaccines by anticipating viruses' next moves
The wave-shaped chart Ratul Chowdhury pulls up on a computer monitor in his office captures the evolutionary cat-and-mouse game his research lab is up against. The undulating curves track variants of the porcine reproductive ...
Medical Xpress / Fluoride and kids' IQ: What a decades-long analysis shows
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been shown to strengthen teeth and reduce cavities. Many municipalities add fluoride to their drinking water—a process called community water fluoridation—as a public health ...
Phys.org / Rapid method uncovers hidden structures in materials—including elusive quasicrystals
An international team of scientists, including researchers from Loughborough University, has developed a method to dramatically speed up the discovery and design of advanced materials. The study, published in Physical Review ...
Medical Xpress / Weight gain in your 20s may matter most: Why the health impact can last decades
In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show ...
Phys.org / Rivers in the sky are driving stronger and more predictable floods, new study finds
A new study finds that the most intense and destructive rainstorms in Portugal, particularly those fueled by atmospheric rivers, are not the most chaotic but are among the most predictable. These events form within large, ...
Medical Xpress / PICALM links training and intermittent fasting to new muscle fiber formation
Researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and other partner institutions of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have now identified a previously unknown function of the PICALM ...
Phys.org / Disrupting genome architecture selectively impairs developmental genes
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have found that temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the three-dimensional structure of the genome, but surprisingly, ...
Phys.org / Longer-term plankton species diversity is independent of ocean mixing, study finds
Plankton are tiny, microscopic marine organisms that represent the very bottom of the food chain. Some are photosynthetic and others graze on bacteria and other plankton, but no plankton species can move against ocean currents.
Phys.org / Fixing Baltimore's unequal weather data coverage
Heat, air pollution, and flooding can affect a city and the health of city residents. Yet few cities have a comprehensive network of weather stations providing accurate measurements of rainfall, humidity, and air temperature ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers demonstrate drug's effectiveness in drawing out dormant HIV from immune cells
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) is one of the most challenging viruses for doctors to treat. Even with effective antiretroviral therapy, immune cells infected with HIV can hide and lie inactive in certain areas of the ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered surrogate models bring real-time simulation to composite manufacturing
A recent publication from IMDEA Materials Institute and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) presents a major step forward in bringing real-time simulation capabilities to composite manufacturing processes. By addressing ...
