Background radioactivity from cables in equipment for ultra-precise physics experiments can impair those experiments. To address this challenge, scientists examined the radioactive contaminants introduced when cables are produced and identified alternative methods of cleaning and preparing the cables to reduce the amount of uranium-238 and thorium-232. The resulting cables will aid future physics experiments.
The amount of sea ice that survives the Arctic summer has declined 12.2 percent per decade since the late 1970s and projections show the region could experience its first ice-free summer by 2040.

Sandy Littletree, a UW assistant professor in the Information School, discusses the importance of working ‘Indigenous ways of knowing’ into libraries, archives and data repositories.
New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison decodes the evolutionary pathway of regulatory proteins, the molecules that help control gene expression.The findings from the Raman Lab in the Department of Biochemistry recently published their findings in the journal Cell Systems. Here’s a rundown on what they discovered:The finches of the Galapagos, famously described by Darwin, are often used as the quintessential example of evolution.
A conveyer belt of ice jostles the entire Ross Ice Shelf out of place at least once daily, according to new research from Washington University in St. Louis.
PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.
Recent findings highlight the persistence of Dihalogenated Nitrophenols (2,6-DHNPs) in drinking water, resisting standard treatments like sedimentation, filtration, and boiling. The research demonstrates the severe cardiotoxic effects of these contaminants on zebrafish embryos at concentrations as low as 19 μg/L, indicating potential health risks for humans.
The lipids in some herbal teas have been identified in detail for the first time, preparing the ground for investigating their contribution to the health benefits of the teas.
Over the last 15 years, archaeologists have challenged outdated ideas about humans controlling nature. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Xinyi Liu in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis argues for a new conceptual bridge connecting the science of biological domestication to early food globalization.
Experts from Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science are available to discuss various aspects related to the upcoming solar eclipse.

ضة للوفاة لأسباب مختلفة. نشرت البحث في مجلة الكلية الأمريكية لأمراض القلب: التطورات, تشير إلى أن التواصل الاجتماعي يقوم بدورٍ مهمٍ في الصحة البدنية العامة وإطالة العمر، ويجب معالجة ذلك على أنه جزء ضروري من المحددات الاجتماعية للصحة.
Um novo estudo da Mayo Clinic constatou que pessoas socialmente isoladas são mais propensas a apresentarem sinais de serem mais velhas biologicamente do que a sua verdadeira idade e mais propensas a morrerem por uma variedade de causas.
As I depart the Office of Science to return to my academic position, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the amazing things we’ve done together over the past two years.
In an anniversary event, the collaborative between UChicago Medicine and Advocate Health Care explored the success of community work and local partnerships.
Hospitals accredited by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) demonstrate significantly better outcomes for patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery compared to non-accredited hospitals, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).
Study sheds light on a medical accessibility issue, the need for alternative or modified concussion assessment norms and the need for baseline testing.
As researchers explore potential applications for AI, they have found scenarios where AI could be really useful but there’s not enough data to accurately train the algorithms. Jenq-Neng Hwang, University of Washington professor of electrical and computer and engineering, specializes in these issues.
For patients considering or undergoing plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) procedures, using social media to gather information and answer questions can enhance patient empowerment – potentially leading to increased autonomy and better decision-making, reports a study in the April issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
UC San Diego biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The “stopwatch” function keeps track of mitosis and acts as a protective measure when the process takes too long, preventing the formation of cancerous cells.
