(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cohort study with relatively low ambient ozone exposure, early-life ozone was associated with asthma and wheeze outcomes at age 4 to 6 and in mixture with other air pollutants but not at age 8 to 9. Regulating and reducing exposure to ambient ozone may help reduce the significant public health burden of asthma among U.S. children.

Early Earth's first crust composition discovery rewrites geological timeline
2025-04-02
Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth’s early geological history, challenging beliefs about how our continents formed and when plate tectonics began.
A study published in Nature on 2 April reveals that Earth's first crust, formed about 4.5 billion years ago, probably had chemical features remarkably like today’s continental crust.
This suggests the distinctive chemical signature of our continents was established at the very beginning of Earth’s history.

Dark diversity reveals global impoverishment of natural vegetation
2025-04-02
A study recently published in Nature indicates that human activities have a negative effect on the biodiversity of wildlife hundreds of kilometres away. A research collaboration led by the University of Tartu assessed the health of ecosystems worldwide, considering both the number of plant species found and the dark diversity – the missing ecologically suitable species.
For the study, over 200 researchers studied plants at nearly 5,500 sites in 119 regions worldwide, including all continents. At each site, they recorded all plant species on 100 m2 and identified the dark diversity – native species that could live there but were absent. ...
Study finds rates of breast and colorectal cancer screening nearly four-fold higher than lung cancer screening among those eligible
2025-04-02
Lung cancer screening has the potential to catch lung cancer early and save lives—but only if people get screened. Although lung cancer screening is recommended in the U.S. for certain individuals with a history of smoking, only 18% of eligible individuals in the U.S. get screened. One suggested explanation has been that those eligible are resistant to receiving preventive healthcare, but a new study published in JAMA and led by researchers at Mass General Brigham indicates otherwise.
Researchers from Mass General Brigham sought to investigate use of other preventive healthcare services among individuals eligible for lung cancer screening. ...
Sound frequencies of stars sing of our galaxy’s past and future
2025-04-02
A new study led by UNSW Sydney researchers into a cluster of stars 2700 light years away reveals their stages of evolution through the ‘sounds’ they make. This discovery will allow scientists to map the history of the Milky Way and other galaxies, accelerating knowledge in the field of astrophysics.
Dr Claudia Reyes is the lead author of the study published today in Nature. While undertaking her PhD at the UNSW School of Physics, she studied 27 stars in a cluster of stars called M67. The stars in ...
Tomato plants delay shoot meristem maturation to achieve heat-stress resilience
2025-04-02
As global temperatures continue to rise, extreme heatwaves pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity. Studies estimate that for every 1°C increase above pre-industrial levels, crop yields decline by approximately 6-8%. The ability of plants to withstand heat stress is therefore critical for ensuring food security, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms have largely remained elusive.
Now, however, a new study led by Prof. XU Cao's team at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sheds light on an adaptive strategy that may ...
KTU researchers explore using soil for heat storage
2025-04-02
When spring arrives and the heating season comes to an end, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us that it is not just a seasonal necessity – heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored and used when needed most. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy storage system.
KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve not only for construction purposes but also as a medium for heat storage. At the ...
Sociology leaders rally in support of academia, urge protection of free inquiry and research
2025-04-02
The American Sociological Association has led a coalition of leading sociological organizations to issue an open letter defending the vital role of sociology in universities and society while condemning recent federal actions that threaten academic inquiry and free speech. Signed by the presidents of ten major sociological associations, the letter calls on university leaders, policymakers, and the public to resist efforts that undermine the discipline and stifle research that benefits society.
The signatories express their growing concerns over abruptly canceled federal contracts, looming job losses for sociologists ...
Exploring AI’s role in decarbonizing the chemical industry: A multi-scale perspective
2025-04-02
As the chemical industry seeks sustainable transformation, decarbonization requires intelligent solutions across multiple scales to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. A research team led by Professor Xiaonan Wang at Tsinghua University has systematically reviewed AI-driven multi-scale smart systems for decarbonizing this energy-intensive sector. Published in Technology Review for Carbon Neutrality, the study explores innovations from materials discovery to industrial park optimization, highlighting ...
A review on structured magnetic soft robots: Locomotion innovation driven by structural engineering
2025-04-02
Recently, Dr. Renheng Bo, Research Associate Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics Technology, Tsinghua University, and his colleagues published a new review article entitled "Structured Locomotive Magnetic Soft Robots" in Flextech. This article focuses on the relationship between structural configurations and locomotion modes of magnetic soft robots, which systematically summarizes the material compositions, fabrication methods, locomotion mechanisms, and applications of existing magnetic soft robots. Furthermore, it emphasizes current challenges and future research directions in the field of structured ...
