By incorporating the scattering of RF waves into fusion simulations, MIT physicists improve heating and current drive predictions for fusion plasmas.
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.
MEDICATION Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Statistics Denmark have analysed more than one billion prescriptions issued by general practitioners. In the long term, the analysis may help to optimise prescription trajectories, but there are still many things we do not know about the associations between diseases and treatment patterns, explains Professor Søren Brunak who has been in charge of the study.
Study underscores need for aggressive climate mitigation and adaptation policies to prevent future “Day Zero” droughts in dry, populated regions around the world.
The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia.
ASTHMA For a long time, scientists have debated whether or not growing up with a cat or a dog would influence either the risk of allergy or an asthmatic condition. A new study from the University of Copenhagen brings answers to the table.
Less than 15% of the 92 million tons of clothing and other textiles discarded annually are recycled—in part because they are so difficult to sort. Woven-in labels made with inexpensive photonic fibers, developed by a University of Michigan-led team, could change that.
Female chimpanzees are less likely than males to go near villages and farmland used by humans, new research shows.
Sensitive, Reliable and Durable Sensors Created for Multiple Industries
The deterioration in people’s mental health linked to Covid-19 is showing no sign of returning to pre-pandemic levels, a new study finds.
New research from the University of Exeter reports the largest ever whole-genome sequencing project for the potentially fatal yeast infection Candida glabrata from hospitals across Scotland.
The University of Exeter and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have signed an agreement to jointly investigate climate change tipping points.
Global weather fluctuations called El Niño events are likely to become more frequent by 2040, a new study shows.
The Amazon rainforest is becoming less resilient – raising the risk of widespread dieback, new research shows.
New research shows that Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) can help promote self-kindness in people with a history of depression, thereby putting their bodies in a state of safety and relaxation.
Green turtle numbers continue to rise on a group of islands where the species has now been protected for more than 50 years, new research shows.
A tiny rodent trims tall grasses so it can watch the skies for flying predators, new research shows.
Scientists have developed a new toolkit for the discovery of mineral deposits crucial to our transition to a ‘green economy’.
Scientists have developed a pioneering new technique that harnesses the cutting-edge capabilities of AI to model and map the natural environment in intricate detail.
Researchers decipher when and why immune cells fail to respond to immunotherapy, and suggest that T cells need a different kind of prodding in order to re-engage the immune response.
