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.
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.
The Amazon rainforest is becoming less resilient – raising the risk of widespread dieback, new research shows.
Global weather fluctuations called El Niño events are likely to become more frequent by 2040, a new study shows.
The University of Exeter and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have signed an agreement to jointly investigate climate change tipping points.
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 deterioration in people’s mental health linked to Covid-19 is showing no sign of returning to pre-pandemic levels, a new study finds.
Sensitive, Reliable and Durable Sensors Created for Multiple Industries
Female chimpanzees are less likely than males to go near villages and farmland used by humans, new research shows.
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.
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.
The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia.
Study underscores need for aggressive climate mitigation and adaptation policies to prevent future “Day Zero” droughts in dry, populated regions around the world.
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.
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.
By incorporating the scattering of RF waves into fusion simulations, MIT physicists improve heating and current drive predictions for fusion plasmas.
MIT biologists show that enlargement of blood stem cells restricts their ability to generate new blood cells during aging.
Study suggests this area of the visual cortex emerges much earlier in development than previously thought.
The new molecule can improve the yield of reactions for generating pharmaceuticals and other useful compounds.
With one in five people experiencing ongoing pain long after knee replacement surgery, new research, led by the University of Bristol and North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) and published in The Lancet Rheumatology
