Why are the world ’s cities sinking? - podcast
A study has found that more than two dozen US coastal cities are sinking by more than 2mm a year. It ’s a similar picture across the world. Nearly half of China’s major cities, as well as places such as Tehran and Jakarta, are facing similar problems. These issues are compounded by sea level rises caused by global heating. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Prof Manoochehr Shirzaei of Virginia Tech Uni versity and Prof Robert Nicholls of the University of East Anglia to find out what’s making our cities sink and whether anything can be done to rescue them from the seaClips: Global News, CNBC, WRDWContinue reading...

Hellish Venus may have lost its water quickly
With surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, Venus today is a veritable hellhole, despite being similar in size to Earth and orbiting in the habitable zone of the Sun. Yet studies suggest the planet may have once hosted oceans and even conditions suitable for life. Explaining how all that water disappeared has been a problem.
A study
published today
in
Nature
offers a solution, identifying a new water-loss mechanism operating high in Venus’s atmosphere that could have doubled the rate of water loss. Speedier drying could have allowed oceans to exist until later in Venus’s history—imply...

Makeup Brand Ben Nye Files for Bankruptcy to Avoid Talc Lawsuits
Professional makeup brand Ben Nye, popular with film, stage and modeling makeup artists, has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the midst of lawsuits. The suits claim its products contain asbestos-contaminated talc. The move could allow the company to reorganize while putting its many talc lawsuits on hold.
The company says it stopped using talc in its face powders in January 2024, but talc is still being used in other products. Ben Nye’s talc suppliers claim they conducted an analysis and no asbestos was ever found in the talc they provided to the company.
According to a March 11, 2024 bankruptcy fili...

ISMRM: Swiss team casts light on congenital heart disease
Researchers from Zurich have developed a cumulative clinical risk (CCR) score that may provide an early predictive marker for long-term brain alterations and cognitive impairments in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). This score may prove valuable in clinical practice to counsel parents about their child's long-term outcome and to aid early identification of those patients at highest risk for long-term brain alterations and provide therapeutic support as early as possible.
"Our findings underscore the clinical relevance of examining cumulative effects of clinical risk and lay a foundation for further, more adva...

ISMRM: MRI technique has value in identifying triple-negative breast cancer
SINGAPORE -- A quantitative MRI technique called 3D amide proton transfer imaging (3D-APT) can help in distinguishing between triple-negative and non-triple-negative breast cancer, according to research presented May 6 at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) 2024 meeting.
Saiqun Lyu from the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University in China said that 3D-APT demonstrated higher transfer values in triple-negative breast cancer patients. Additionally, 3D-APT’s value was further augmented by the addition of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).
“These findings hold significant value as a cruc...
