Patients who got free plant-based grocery packages from a clinic food pantry for an average of 2.7 years saw diastolic blood pressure, weight and BMI fall in step with how many packages they received. The study had no control group.
Three turbines on Ross Island have powered New Zealand's Scott Base and the US McMurdo Station since 2009, cutting fuel use by about 463,000 liters (122,000 gallons) a year. Larger turbines and a battery are due to replace them before 2030.
KAUST scientists treated pale corals on a Red Sea reef with coral-derived bacteria during a 2022 heat wave. Treated corals kept their photosynthetic efficiency while placebo corals declined, a Cell Reports study shows.
The 18th Burgers to Beat MS campaign raised $1.56 million for MS Canada this summer, bringing the partnership's total close to $25 million. Canada has one of the highest MS rates in the world.
ENN Group says its EXL-50U device in Langfang produced over 100 million hydrogen-boron fusion reactions per second, a fuel that releases no neutrons. It is a physics result, not net energy, and the company targets first electricity in 2030.
Three children, one 9 and two 6 years old, wandered a mile and a half from their Colorado campsite before a sheriff's K9 named Arch picked up their scent and led searchers straight to them, unharmed.
Engineering firm GICON has raised a pilot wind turbine in Schipkau, Germany, to 365 meters, with its hub at 300 meters. It should start running in November and is designed to tap stronger, steadier winds high above ordinary turbines.
Northwestern chemists built self-assembling threads with precisely placed electric charges. In cell cultures, neurons treated with them grew longer branches, showed four times more calcium activity and formed more synapses.
Mitochondrial DNA from 2,285 humpbacks shows the whales that live year-round off Oman split from other populations 43,000 to 113,000 years ago. A taxonomy committee still has to decide on the proposed subspecies.

UC San Diego Health says it is the first West Coast health system to use a new coil that blocks the artery feeding chronic brain bleeds, a condition that is becoming more common as people age and take blood thinners.
University at Buffalo researchers grew tiny salivary glands from human stem cells. Transplanted into mice, they survived more than 40 days and formed saliva-making cells, an early step toward treating severe dry mouth after cancer radiation.
On 22 September, the Roman Space Telescope's Coronagraph Instrument photographed a faint star in a neighboring galaxy. It was an engineering test for technology meant to photograph planets around other stars directly.
Two olive ridley sea turtles nested on Orange County beaches in September, a first for any sea turtle on the US West Coast. Their 204 eggs are now incubating at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
A Binghamton University team built paper wallpaper that generates a small current from room humidity. An array of 1,596 units powered a wireless keyboard and lowered the room's humidity in lab tests.
University of Hawaiʻi researchers found 31 small RNA molecules in stored blood samples that were linked to lung cancer up to a decade before diagnosis. The study covered 202 smokers and still needs testing in other groups.
Sloan Petty, 12, set a goal of 22,500 diapers for her fifth annual drive and collected 30,326, enough to fill a U-Haul for Nourish Phoenix. Diapers are among the most requested items there, and SNAP and WIC don't cover them.
