Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, and lakes and wetlands are among its largest natural sources. In many lakes, methane can be seen bubbling up from the bottom and escaping directly into the atmosphere.
The GCAT|Genomes for Life team, a strategic project of the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), has developed PolyGenie, a new tool designed to facilitate the exploration and reuse of genomic data by the research community. This initiative represents a further step in the project's strategy to promote FAIR data, reusable resources, and open infrastructures for biomedical research. The platform and its application to the GCAT cohort are described in an article published in the journal NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics.
Become an official part of International Observe the Moon Night by registering to host a community event or signing up to observe on your own. The post Register appeared first on NASA Science.
A multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has identified a promising new therapeutic candidate against Candida auris, an emerging fungal pathogen that has alarmed health officials worldwide because of its ability to resist multiple antifungal drugs and spread rapidly through hospitals and care facilities.
Every day, millions of people play Wordle, the popular New York Times game that challenges users to guess a secret five-letter word. Using information theory, a team of researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has developed a method to solve the game with a 99% success rate.
Liver cancer is one of the fastest-rising causes of cancer-related deaths in the UK and the third-leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.
The solar atmosphere is a turbulent and magnetized environment, with the release of magnetic energy readily manifesting as emission across the electromagnetic spectrum. Solar radio emission dominates the radio sky, with the brightest solar radio bursts generated via the plasma emission process. The emission has a complex frequency-time structure with many features that are yet to be understood.
Biomedical tests using augmented and virtual reality tools to advance space health dominated the research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Expedition 74 crew is also turning its attention to a spacewalk at the end of the month following the departure of a U.S. cargo spacecraft. The post Advanced Health Research on Station Using Augmented, Virtual Reality Tools appeared first on NASA Science.
The FTC and four state attorneys general have sued the main professional organization for gender-affirming care clinicians.
Cancer in the United States experienced a dramatic turnaround in 1991. Prior to that year, cancer deaths had been increasing for decades, peaking at 215 deaths per 100,000 people, meaning about 1 in 4 deaths were attributed to cancer. Then they began to consistently decline, decreasing by 34% between 1991 and 2022. This amounted to an estimated 4.5 million fewer cancer deaths during that period.
Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors. Typically, the number of these receptors increases as the cell matures, but researchers have now identified that one receptor influences cell behavior much earlier than previously thought and appears to help trigger the cell differentiation process to form neurons.
Scientists have become more visible in climate debates, engaging in public communication, policy advice, open letters, political demonstrations and even civil disobedience. Scientists who speak out on climate change have different effects depending on the context, according to research led by Lancaster University. A major review led by Dr. Samuel Finnerty finds no consistent evidence that such advocacy either strengthens or undermines scientific credibility, public trust or support for climate action.
The European Space Agency's Mars Express has captured part of Mars's Mamers Valles, a fascinating valley system speckled with brief, tornado-like whirlwinds known as dust devils.
A new study found that two diversity-oriented programs supported by the NIH doubled the odds that an undergraduate would earn a Ph.D.
Dr. John Wisniewski serves as the Program Scientist for the SPHEREx mission, the UVOIR Discipline Lead for APRA, the Program Officer for the Exoplanet Research Program, executive secretary of the ExoPAG, and the Deputy Program Scientist for ExEP. He obtained his BS in Astronomy-Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999, where he gained his […] The post Dr. John Wisniewski appeared first on NASA Science.
Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans survive a stroke. For many, the journey to recovery includes relearning one of life's most fundamental activities: walking. Weakness, impaired coordination and reduced control of the legs can make even simple movements challenging, often requiring months of intensive rehabilitation led by physical therapists as patients work to regain mobility, independence and confidence.
Youth who have contact with the U.S. legal system may be at increased risk of mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, hostility and psychoticism, according to a study published in PLOS One by Raquel V. Oliveira and Elizabeth Culatta from Augusta University.
Children are innately curious, and throughout any given day they come up with all manner of questions: Why don't fish have hair? Why do flowers wilt so quickly? Their need to understand the world—and develop their language skills and ideas—makes them tireless conversationalists.
A teen's mental health, as well as their body mass index (BMI) and screen time, is significantly associated with sleep quality, according to a new paper published in PLOS One by Jianying Li of Shanxi University in China and colleagues. The study also found that girls and adolescents living in more rural areas tend to have lower sleep quality.
Children's mental health may be indirectly harmed by their mothers' experience of a major disaster, through the financial and social losses the disaster causes, according to a new study published in PLOS One by Ariane Lisann Rung of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, US, and colleagues.
