Researchers began publishing annual reports and bi-annual updates examining the health and safety policies for secondary schools for each individual state and Washington, D.C. The evaluations are based on safety measures states can implement, including…
Combining a histone deacetylase inhibitor drug with immunotherapy agents has been deemed safe, and may benefit some patients with advanced cancers that have not responded to traditional therapy, according to results of a phase 1 clinical trial.
With wind generation one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sectors in the world, experts are using machine learning and other signal processing techniques to characterize annoying noise features from wind farms. Two new publications from the ongo…
New research sheds light on the effect urbanization has on the flesh fly species Sarcophaga similis. Through a series of laboratory and in-field experiments, scientists show that an increase in nighttime illumination and temperature, two of the major c…
Skeletal muscles in mice appear to ‘remember’ prior training, aiding muscle growth and adaptability when retrained through exercise.
Inside cells, organelles called mitochondria carry out a medley of vital tasks. These structures generate energy and help to keep the cells’ interior environment in a state of healthy equilibrium, among other functions. Now, scientists show in detail h…
After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings suggest that auditory and speech processing occur in parallel, contradicting a long-held theory that the brain…
Quantum matter can be solid and fluid at the same time — a situation known as supersolidity. Researchers have now created this fascinating property along two dimensions. They now report on the creation of supersolidity along two axes of an ultracold q…
New modelling by the international team of scientists paints a dramatic vision of a scorched planet Earth without the Montreal Protocol, what they call the ‘World Avoided’. This study draws a new stark link between two major environmental concerns — t…
Pharmaceutical compounds can harm the environment. However, in waterways that don’t receive treated wastewater, these pollutants aren’t expected to be present. Now, researchers have found that amounts of some medications carried by a stream in Baltimor…
The field of Archaeogenetics has substantially contributed to a better understanding of how the movement and admixture of people across Europe during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages shaped genetic ancestries. However, not all regions are equally well rep…
Ice losses from Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica are currently responsible for roughly four percent of the global sea-level rise. This figure could increase, since virtually no another ice stream in the Antarctic is changing as dramatically as the m…
Nutrient imbalances can adversely impact crop health and agricultural productivity. The trace elements zinc and iron are taken up by the same ‘transporters’ in plants; so, zinc deficiency can result in excess uptake of iron. How does the plant cope wit…
Scientists have discovered three new species of ancient creatures from the dawn of modern mammals that hint at rapid evolution immediately after the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
Rising temperatures could help some northern-latitude bees fly better, but more frequent extreme weather events could push them past their limits.
Researchers have developed a climate-friendly alternative to conventional cement. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions can be reduced during production by up to two thirds when a previously unused overburden from bauxite mining is used as a raw material. The…
Children and adolescents can experience sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea, like adults. An estimated 1-6% of all children and adolescents have obstructive sleep apnea. The sleep disruptions and pauses in breathing from sleep apnea …
Scientists have shown that fetal membranes are able to heal after injury.
