Why do the cores of stars spin more slowly than expected?
Under certain conditions, the cores of stars contract. When this happens, they start to spin faster than the external layers of the star.

Special drone collects environmental DNA from trees
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal research institute WSL have developed a flying device that can land on tree branches to take samples. This opens up a new dimension for scientists previously reserved for biodiversity researchers. Ecologists are increasingly using traces of genetic material left behind by living organisms left behind in the environment, called environmental DNA (eDNA), to catalogue and monitor biodiversity.

Wastewater-based disease surveillance: U-M experts can discuss
EXPERTS ADVISORY A new report released today by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reviews the usefulness of community-level wastewater surveillance during the pandemic and assesses its potential value for control and prevention of infectious diseases beyond COVID-19. University of Michigan faculty members, including two who served on the Academies' Committee on Community Wastewater-based Infectious Disease Surveillance, can discuss the report, " Wastewater-based Disease Surveillance for Public Health Action.

SLF becomes WMO’s Snow Monitoring Competence Centre
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has appointed the SLF to be the world's leading competence centre for snow monitoring. The WMO's Infrastructure Commission based its decision on the fact that the SLF already possesses high-quality measuring infrastructure and over 80 years of knowledge. When the test site was set up on the Weissfluhjoch above Davos, at an altitude of 2,536 metres, more than eight decades ago, nobody could have imagined the measuring instruments and methods that would go on to be developed.

Imperial-CNRS-Lille project to ’fast-track’ treatments for metabolic diseases
Imperial, France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Lille are setting up a major project into metabolic diseases. Diseases linked with metabolism, such as diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension) and obesity affect millions of people around the world. This new collaboration will aim to 'fast-track' treatments for these conditions.

Many older adults declined home medical care for fear of COVID, causing new or worsening conditions
COVID-19 interrupted or delayed medical treatment for many people who chose to put off elective procedures or couldn't get in to see a specialist. Study: Home-Based Care Provider Perspectives on Care Refusal During the COVID-19 Pandemic But new research from the University of Michigan finds another population was affected: Many homebound older adults canceled medically necessary home-based health care services out of fear of getting COVID-19.

Reusable take-out food containers can reduce plastic waste, emissions, costs, U-M study finds
In the effort to reduce plastic waste in the restaurant industry-single-use takeout containers, specifically-University of Michigan researchers compared the lifetime environmental impacts of single-use and reusable food containers. Study: Parametric life cycle assessment modeling of reusable and single-use restaurant food container systems Their findings support the idea that the number of times a reusable takeout container gets used is a key factor impacting its sustainability performance.
