New findings from Jezero crater reveal how bedrock formed deep within Mars' crust was uplifted, submerged under water in a lake and became altered. The results provide a new piece of the puzzle in understanding the long geologic history of our red neighbour planet. Since NASA's Perseverance rover landed on Mars' red dusty surface in February 2021, it has collected a wealth of valuable data. As the

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

Researchers at Lund University and Washington University have identified a blood marker that reflects the amount of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain. This discovery may play a key role in determining who is most likely to benefit from the new Alzheimer’s drugs. In brief:A newly discovered blood marker, MTBR-tau243, can reveal how much Alzheimer’s disease pathology is present in the brain. The hi

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation.

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher
