	Veterinarian says owners should be aware of the risks of letting their dogs drink from public water sources When taking your dog for a walk during the scorching summer heat, it may be tempting to allow your dog a few laps from the nearest drinking station in order to cool off. However, shared hydration sources can potentially have dire effects for your beloved furry friend.
	Greenland fossil discovery stuns scientists and confirms that center of ice sheet melted in recent past The story of Greenland keeps getting greener—and scarier. A new study provides the first direct evidence that the center—not just the edges—of Greenland's ice sheet melted away in the recent geological past and the now-ice-covered island was then home to a green, tundra landscape.
	New biomaterial regrows damaged cartilage in joints Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model.
	Think about banning kitchen worktop favorite to ward off incurable lung disease, urge doctors It may now be time to ban artificial stone—a firm favorite for kitchen worktops in the UK— to ward off the incurable lung disease caused by its manufacturing and fitting, say a team of doctors in the journal Thorax after treating the first 8 cases of artificial stone silicosis reported in the UK.
	Study reveals how intermittent fasting regulates aging through autophagy Recent research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), at the Paris Cité University, and at the University of Graz, published today in Nature Cell Biology, sheds light on the mechanism through which spermidine regulates autophagy, a process that ensures the recycling of components within the cell, to promote the anti-aging effects of intermittent fasting.
	Molecule restores cognition, memory in Alzheimer's disease model mice In a study, published in the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a molecule identified and synthesized by UCLA Health researchers was shown to restore cognitive functions in mice with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease by effectively jump-starting the brain's memory circuitry.
	Scientists uncover hidden forces causing continents to rise Scientists at the University of Southampton have answered one of the most puzzling questions in plate tectonics: how and why "stable" parts of continents gradually rise to form some of the planet's greatest topographic features.
	Domestication causes smaller brain size in dogs than in the wolf: Study challenges notion A recent study, published in Biology Letters, challenges the long-held notion that domestication is the primary driver of reduced brain size in domesticated animals, specifically dogs.
	Researchers dig deeper into stability challenges of nuclear fusion—with mayonnaise Mayonnaise continues to help researchers better understand the physics behind nuclear fusion.
	An overlooked side-effect of the housing crisis may be putting Californians at increased risk from climate disasters In a new article appearing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, UC Santa Cruz researchers have laid out the foundation for their highly-anticipated upcoming study of how lack of affordable housing in urban areas of California may be driving increased development in and near wildlands, leading to more severe climate change impacts.
	The Higgs particle could have ended the universe by now—here's why we're still here Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk—walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it's all down to the instability of a single fundamental particle: the Higgs boson.
	Serotonin changes how people learn and respond to negative information Increasing serotonin can change how people learn from negative information, as well as improving how they respond to it, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.
	Botanicals like turmeric, green tea are harming Americans' livers Botanicals like turmeric, green tea and black cohosh may seem benign, but their overuse is being increasingly linked to liver injury.
	How feeding birds may be polluting local environments New research led by an NAU alumnus shows that backyard bird feeders, although put out with the best of intentions, is changing the chemistry of local ecosystems, including introducing a potentially harmful amount of phosphorus into the environment.
	135-million-year-old marine crocodile sheds light on Cretaceous life An international team of scientists, including researchers from Germany and the UK, have described a new species of ancient marine crocodile, Enalioetes schroederi. Enalioetes lived in the shallow seas that covered much of Germany during the Cretaceous Period, approximately 135 million years ago.
	Modern aircraft emit less carbon than older aircraft, but their contrails may do more environmental harm Modern commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lived planet-warming contrails than older aircraft, a new study has found.
	Classical music lifts our mood by synchronizing our 'extended amygdala' Whether Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart, it's widely recognized that classical music can affect a person's mood. In a study published in Cell Reports, scientists in China have used brainwave measurements and neural imaging techniques to show how Western classical music elicits its positive effects on the brain. Their goal is to find more effective ways to use music to activate the brain in those who otherwise don't respond, such as people with treatment-resistant depression.
	Researchers find book scorpion venom effective against hospital germs The book scorpion (Chelifer cancroides), only a few millimeters long, is the best-known member of the pseudoscorpions, an order of arachnids, in Central Europe. It hunts house dust mites, bark lice and book lice in living spaces. It also kills pests in beehives. It often uses its venom to do so.
	Astronomers discover two new super-Earths orbiting nearby stars Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected two new super-Earth exoplanets orbiting nearby M-dwarf stars. The newfound exoplanets, designated TOI-6002 b and TOI-5713 b, are two times larger than our planet. The finding was reported in a paper published August 1 on the pre-print server arXiv.
	Rising toll of serious injuries linked to expanded Mexico-US border wall crossing The expansion of the Mexico-US border wall crossing has been accompanied by a rising toll of serious injuries, with p
