Research reveals the possible effects of changes in air quality associated with global warming on human airways
The risk of human airway inflammation increases with global warming. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2025). doi:10.1038/s43247-025-02161-z From hot summer days to cold winter nights, many people can experience worsening respiratory symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, or viral infections. The incidence of extreme temperature conditions has increased over decades, exposing the upper airways of humans to high steam pressure (VPD),…

Increases response speed of quantum LEDs via excitation memory effects
Images of a radiant microcle (approximately 60 microns in diameter) showing fast response capabilities. Credit: Lu et al. Optical light emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in electroluminescent trace devices that emit light depending on the applied voltage. These devices are central components of a variety of electronic and optoelectronic technologies, including displays, sensors, and communication systems. Over the past…

Simple treatments may reduce inflammation and its side effects when expecting cows
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain According to researchers at Pennsylvania’s University of Agricultural Sciences, the transition period when cows give birth and begin milk production from the late stages of pregnancy is one of the most difficult times in cow’s life. Physiological changes such as higher systemic inflammation can lead to negative effects, such as lower health and lower milk production.…

Alaska’s lakes and ponds reveal the effects of permafrost thawing
Summit Lake in central Alaska is fed by the Gulcana Glacier, which can be seen in the background. Credit: Eric Levenson As climate change warms the Arctic, permafrost is thawed and carbon trapped in the soil is transporting into the atmosphere. Permafrost stores twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, but the extent to which this frozen carbon thaws and…

New study reveals economic ripple effects of business closures, remote work and other disruptions
Behavior-based dependency networks between locations within a city. Credit: Nature Human Behavior (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41562-024-02072-7 Many restaurants adjacent to office buildings are facing a permanent decline in foot traffic as remote and hybrid work becomes the established norm. But how will this change in behavior ripple through to businesses along commuter routes? Will it set off a chain reaction that…

Exploring framing effects: The influence of language on thought and society
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Each word was chosen to be included in this sentence. Every message, even the most mundane, is created with a specific frame in mind that influences how the message is received. The study of framing effects is an interdisciplinary study that investigates when, how, and why language influences those who receive messages, and how this influences…

Decoding the effects of gravitational waves on the atmosphere using high-resolution climate simulations
As seen from the International Space Station, when humid air encounters an imbalance in air density, gravitational waves appear over Lake Superior, causing the airflow to oscillate up and down. Credit: NASA/ISS Researchers from Stanford University, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are conducting a summit at the institute’s Summit to better understand…
