A South Korean research team has successfully searched for Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitskii (DFSZ) axion dark matter using a new experimental setup. The group achieved a higher sensitivity than existing experiments, excluding axion dark matter around 4.55 µeV at DFSZ sensitivity.
New research suggests that rationing could help states reduce greenhouse gas emissions rapidly and fairly. By allocating resources based on needs, rather than market forces, policymakers can create a more equitable approach to climate change mitigation.
A new study of rhesus macaques found that older female macaques have fewer friends, reducing their ability to transmit knowledge outside their social circles. This decline in cohesion and connection has significant consequences for network structure, potentially affecting information transmission and cooperation.
Researchers have identified critical areas in northern, northwestern, and western Iran for urgent conservation action. The study used maps of threatened species to pinpoint regions necessary to protect critically endangered species like the Asiatic cheetah and Persian leopard.
A new study by the University of Haifa and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute reveals that high soil humidity reduces the chances of survival for young tree seedlings growing at high densities. This leads to a greater variety of tree species in the following year, as less dominant species are able to establish themselves.
Scientists at Ben-Gurion University have discovered a groundbreaking treatment approach targeting the mitochondrial gatekeeper VDAC1 for Alzheimer's disease. The new therapy, VBIT-4, demonstrates significant improvement in mouse models, preventing cell death and neuroinflammation while promoting healthy neuron growth.
A new study finds that women and young people are more influential than older men in influencing others to implement sustainable practices. Women's recommendations often led to real action, despite being less likely to be identified as opinion leaders.
A research team at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics reveals the synergistic interplay mechanism of dual active sites on bimetallic oxide for efficient syngas conversion. They identified key intermediates and proposed a catalytic mechanism using advanced solid-state NMR technologies.
