World's oldest black rhino, Fausta dies at 57

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how singularities are resolved in the context of quantum gravity is one of the fundamental problems in theoretical physics. Now, a team of experts has described the creation of regular black holes from gravitational effects without the need for the existence of exotic matter required by some previous models.

Scientists reported evidence of playful teasing in the four great ape species orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas.

In the 50 years after the Endangered Species Act (ESA) passed in December 1973, the world has changed drastically. Two Ohio State University academics were among a group of experts invited by the journal Science to explore how the ESA has evolved and what its future may hold.

Researchers in Japan have created a novel material capable of storing hydrogen energy in a more efficient and cost-effective manner, as part of the ongoing drive to transition humanity away from fossil fuels and towards more ecologically friendly energy sources.

According to a recent Corewell Health study, men with longer prostatic urethras--the section of the urethra that passes through the prostate--may be more prone to develop modest, often long-lasting urinary system side effects after prostate cancer radiation treatment.

According to research presented at the 2023 AAP National Conference & Exhibition at the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre, a retrospective analysis of paediatric sepsis deaths at a large hospital in Arkansas found that Black children in the hospital were 2.5 times more likely to die of sepsis than white patients.

According to a recent Corewell Health study, men with longer prostatic urethras--the portion of the urethra that passes through the prostate--may be more likely to experience mild, frequently long-lasting side effects of the urinary system after having radiation treatment for prostate cancer.

A recent study revealed that when normal therapy fails, a medicine called XEN1101 reduces seizure frequency by more than 50 per cent in certain individuals and sometimes removes them entirely. Unlike other treatments that must be started at low dosages and gradually increased, the new medicine can be taken at its most effective level right away, according to the authors.

When compared to people without diabetes, those with multiple myeloma, a blood malignancy of plasma cells in the bone marrow, have a worse overall survival rate. According to a study published today in Blood Advances, this difference in survival related to diabetes was detected in white patients in a subgroup analysis but not in black patients.
