Exclusive: Nearly 175 Saudi military aviation students grounded in U.S. after base shooting Nearly 175 Saudi Arabian military aviation students have been grounded as part of a "safety stand-down" after a Saudi Air Force lieutenant shot and killed three people last week at a U.S. Navy base in Florida, U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday. Wall Street flat as tariff deadline nears Wall Street's main stock indexes were little changed on Tuesday, hovering near record highs, as investors awaited concrete news on whether U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports would take effect on Dec. 15, a potential turning point in the two countries' trade dispute that has convulsed markets.

Have you found meaning in life? Answer determines health and well-being A recent study has found that the presence of and search for meaning in life are important for health and well-being, though the relationships differ in adults younger and older than age 60. Gut feeling: A network approach towards understanding IBD Scientists have pioneered how to get very detailed transcriptomics data from gut organoids, and regulatory networks to analyse them -- establishing a pipeline that can be used to explore the causes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Physicists image electrons flowing like water Physicists have imaged electrons flowing viscously through a nanodevice, just like water flowing through a pipe. Long predicted but only now visualized for the first time, this curious new behavior for electrons has important implications for future electronic devices. Tiny magnetic particles enable new material to bend, twist, and grab Researchers have developed a soft polymer material, called magnetic shape memory polymer, that uses magnetic fields to transform into a variety of shapes. The material could enable a range of new applications from antennas that change frequencies on the fly to gripper arms for delicate or heavy objects. Side effects of pediatric medications for anxiety, OCD New research specifically looks at side effects that impact children and adolescents being treated for anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). What blocks bird flu in human cells? Normally, bird flu viruses do not spread easily from person to person. But if this does happen, it could trigger a pandemic. Researchers have now explained what makes the leap from animals to humans less likely. Technologies and scientific advances needed to track methane levels in atmosphere Understanding what influences the amount of methane in the atmosphere has been identified to be one of the foremost challenges in the earth sciences in the coming decades because of methane's hugely important role in meeting climate warming targets. New findings on satiety signaling from intestine A previously unknown mechanism that suppresses satiety signals from the small intestine is the main finding of a new study. This may explain, first, satiety disorders in obesity and diabetes and, second, the prompt health effects of gastric bypass, a form of bariatric surgery. Natural ecosystems protect against climate change The identification of natural carbon sinks and understanding how they work is critical if humans are to mitigate global climate change. Tropical coastal wetlands are considered important but, so far, there is little data to show the benefits. This study showed that mangrove ecosystems need to be conserved and restored as part of the battle against rising carbon levels in the atmosphere. Brain function abnormal in children with Type 1 diabetes Children with Type 1 diabetes show subtle but important differences in brain function compared with those who don't have the disease, a study has shown. |
