Raw cow and sheep milk is frequently contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria that could pose a threat to human and animal health, reports a new study led by Tahir Usman of Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan, ...
Phys.org / Randomness reveals hidden order in the plant world
In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell researchers. Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking ...
Phys.org / Young adults say they're happy with their friendships, but many still feel disconnected
A new study challenges common assumptions about loneliness in young adulthood, finding that feelings of disconnection can coexist with rich, active social lives.
Phys.org / New fungus species discovered in 407-million-year-old plant fossil from Scotland
Researchers from the Natural History Museum and Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University (SLCU) have identified a new species of ancient symbiotic fungus preserved within a 407-million-year-old plant fossil from Scotland. ...
Phys.org / Plants balance adaptability in skin cells with stability in sex cells, study reveals
Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, published Nov. 10 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how plants ...
Phys.org / Significant share of Arctic Ocean's dissolved carbon comes from land, study finds
Climate change and the associated rising temperatures are melting more and more frozen ground in the Arctic. This dissolved matter contains large amounts of organic carbon which is flowing into the central Arctic Ocean.
Phys.org / Rainfall and temperature shape mosquito fauna in Atlantic Forest bromeliads, including malaria vectors
The transmission of malaria by the Anopheles cruzii mosquito in the South and Southeast of Brazil was so alarming in the 1940s—with approximately 4,000 cases per 100,000 people—that the disease became known as bromeliad ...
Phys.org / High-resolution solar data reveal chromospheric jets' characteristics in active region
A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has detailed the physical characteristics of chromospheric jets in and around a sunspot, using high-resolution observations from the New ...
