Phys.org / Lion conservation in Kenya: Why one approach does not fit all
Lions in Kenya respond very differently to human land use, climate and conservation practices. That is the conclusion of thesis from Leiden biologist Monica Chege. A uniform approach is therefore insufficient. "Effective ...
Phys.org / Left in the cold: Study finds most renters shut out of energy-saving upgrades
As winter heating costs rise, new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York reveals a cold truth. Renters—who make up approximately one-third of the U.S. population—are missing out on energy efficiency ...
Phys.org / How the Tibetan Plateau-Himalayan uplift shaped Asian summer monsoons
Research from Monash University reveals the climate history behind Asia's summer monsoon—Earth's most influential climate system. In a new study published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, an international team of ...
Tech Xplore / Smart gate paves way for reliable hydrogen from seawater
Researchers have developed a simple, scalable way to reliably generate hydrogen with impure water, such as seawater or industrial wastewater.
Tech Xplore / Understanding ammonia energy's tradeoffs around the world
Many people are optimistic about ammonia's potential as an energy source and carrier of hydrogen, and though large-scale adoption would require major changes to the way it is currently manufactured, ammonia does have a number ...
Phys.org / The path to solar weather forecasts is paved with drops in cosmic rays
At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ways to forecast it, ...

An innovative product with the potential to replace polymers used in soil fertilizers is being developed in São Carlos in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
Phys.org / Impact of darkwaves on marine ecosystems revealed
An international team of scientists has developed ways to measure and compare the impact of "darkwaves"—when extreme weather events or human activities reduce underwater light for extended periods, affecting the stability ...
Medical Xpress / Night-time changes in metabolism may be driving common liver disease
Researchers at the University of Oxford have discovered that the most common liver disease follows a strong day-night pattern, and the metabolic changes that drive the disease are most pronounced overnight, when the body ...
Phys.org / 'Nu' citation index may bridge gap between productivity and impact metrics
Researchers propose a new citation index that balances productivity and impact in academic publishing. The h-index of citations was introduced in 2005 by physicist Jorge E. Hirsch. This index is defined simply as the maximum ...
