As Florida and other states become more urbanized, an increasing number of stormwater ponds are built. Florida already has 76,000 such ponds. The newer ones emit more carbon than they store, a new University of Florida study finds. Researchers hope this finding will inform policy makers and others about when, where and how to install stormwater ponds.
There is a scientific reason that humans feel better walking through the woods than strolling down a city street, according to a new publication from University of Oregon physicist Richard Taylor and an interdisciplinary team of collaborators.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered that cells carrying the most common mutation found in human cancer accumulate large amounts of ferrous iron and that this “ferroaddiction” can be exploited to specifically deliver powerful anticancer drugs without harming normal, healthy cells. The therapeutic strategy, described in a study to be published March 9 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), could be used to treat a wide variety of cancers driven by mutations in the KRAS gene.
There are several subgroups of firearm owners, but despite their differences, these groups generally view family, law enforcement and suicide prevention specialists but not gun dealers or the National Rifle Association (NRA) as credible sources of information on safe firearm storage, according to a new Rutgers study.
There is a need to develop alternative adsorbent materials that can efficiently integrate and intensify the air revitalization process. Researchers could have a promising solution with a white powdery substance they synthesized in their lab called amine-grafted SBA-15 silica, an “aminosilica.”
Researchers in the Primate Genomics Lab at the George Washington University examined what factors drive hair variation in a wild population of lemurs known as Indriidae. Specifically, the researchers aimed to assess the impacts of climate, body size and color vision on hair evolution.
They’re old enough to qualify for Medicare, and their incomes are low enough to qualify them for Medicaid. And when they have surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, a new study finds, they suffer more complications and incur higher costs than patients with Medicare alone, even at top hospitals.
The active compound in Chinese herbs called emodin can prevent colon cancer in mice, according to researchers at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.
A new study focuses on the development of cowpea varieties using root characteristics to increase its growth capacity
University of Utah biomedical engineering assistant professor Jessica Kramer has learned that mucins, a protein in human mucus, acts as a barrier that prevents viruses like Covid-19 from spreading through contaminated surfaces. Her research reveals why the coronavirus largely does not spread by touching surfaces like countertops or objects.
A real-time electronic decision support system helped clinicians at community hospitals provide best practice care for emergency department patients with pneumonia, resulting in decreased intensive care unit admission, more appropriate antibiotic use, and 38% lower overall mortality according to a new study by researchers at Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City.
Whether they need a knee replaced, a hernia stitched up, a cataract in their eye removed or their gall bladder taken out, a new poll shows many older adults harbor concerns about scheduling elective surgery. But once they’ve had it done, most are glad they did, the poll shows. COVID-19 has affected surgery scheduling but many hospitals are now getting back on track.

In the 1930s, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation drew maps of U.S. cities characterizing mortgage lending desirability, with many Black and immigrant communities receiving the worst grade. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters have found these “redlined” areas have higher air pollution levels 80 years later.

School districts that required masking saw lower rates of COVID-19 transmission within schools last fall compared to those with optional masking policies, according to a study by the ABC Science Collaborative.
Researchers say the challenges of treating long COVID are amplified by a critical issue: we do not know what constitutes long COVID or how to formally diagnose it, an issue that is further exacerbated by limited research data of varying quality and consistency.
A team of Johns Hopkins University researchers created shock-absorbing material that protects like a metal, but is lighter, stronger, reusable. The new foam-like material could be a game-changer for helmets, body armor, and automobile and aerospace parts.
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands have for the first time detected dimethyl ether in a planet-forming disc.
It is easy to see that the processes in the Earth's interior influence what happens on the surface. For example, volcanoes unearth magmatic rocks and emit gases into the atmosphere, and thus influence the biogeochemical cycles on our planet.
Some marine worm larvae are pint-sized predators. The small, blobby babies, less than a millimeter long, ensnare and devour microscopic crustaceans and other prey living in plankton, University of Oregon researchers report. Their observations suggest a new lifestyle option for larval-stage invertebrates living in the ocean. Scientists usually think of plankton-dwelling larvae either growing by grazing on nanoplankton — mostly unicellular algae — or relying on the egg's yolk reserves to become full-fledged adults. Instead, it appears there’s a third strategy: carnivory.

A Florida State University College of Medicine researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body’s DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for cancer and other disorders.The fact that DNA can be repaired after it has been damaged is one of the great mysteries of medical science, but pathways involved in the repair process vary during different stages of the cell life cycle.
Biases based on gender and ethnicity have been well-documented throughout society, including medical care, but data analysis by University of Oregon researcher David Markowitz found exactly how those biases also show up in the language doctors use in their caregiver reports.
By examining earthquake models from a fresh perspective, Cornell University engineers now show that the earthquake fracture energy – once thought to relate to how faults in the Earth’s crust weaken – is related to how quakes stop.
In a new study, University of Washington researchers have shown that a dental tool they created can measure the acidity built up by the bacteria in plaque that leads to cavities.
