Phys.org / Shroud of Turin DNA sheds light on its biological history
New research has uncovered the complex biological history preserved within DNA traces found on the Shroud of Turin, offering fresh insights into one of the world's most studied and debated historical artifacts.
Medical Xpress / How ultra-processed food firms hoodwink us into thinking their products are 'healthier' than others
New research presented at the International Congress on Obesity (ICO2026), hosted by the World Obesity Federation (WOF) in Mexico City, Mexico, July 15–17, shows how various sectors representing the ultra-processed food (UPF) ...
Phys.org / Light-driven chemistry steers electron transfers beyond redox limits
Chemists use single-electron transfers to synthesize complex, ring-shaped molecular structures found in many drug candidates and advanced materials, but current techniques still have limitations. A new study, accepted for ...
Phys.org / Memorable visuals drive online ad purchases more than emotion, study suggests
A study of digital advertising in the International Journal of Business and Systems Research suggests that memorable visuals are more likely to encourage consumers to buy than campaigns that rely primarily on emotional impact. ...
Phys.org / Why some human brains can outlast other soft tissues after death
Why do some brains survive long after death when most other soft tissue decays? That's the question a research team led by Alexandra Morton-Hayward at the University of Oxford set out to answer.
Phys.org / One idea, two cosmic mysteries—linking Little Red Dots and globular clusters
A new study led by astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin proposes a theory that could solve two astronomical riddles at once: the nature of Little Red Dots and the origin of globular clusters. Rather than representing ...
Phys.org / Unusual three-way bestows magnetic sense to single-celled organism
How do microorganisms orient themselves to find the optimal habitat? Scientists have thoroughly investigated so-called magnetotactic bacteria, which use the Earth's magnetic field as a biological compass. Some eukaryotic ...
Medical Xpress / A new plan for healthy aging starts before we're born
Most of us would like to hang around on the planet for as long as possible, and thankfully, lifespans in many countries are increasing. Scientists are also developing a new field known as longevity medicine, which aims to ...
Tech Xplore / Fine-tuned perovskites make blue LEDs more vibrant
Over the past decade, perovskite LEDs have become increasingly vibrant and affordable to produce. With careful tweaks to their chemical composition, these crystal-based light emitters can be tuned across the visible spectrum—matching ...
Medical Xpress / Many cancer survivors have impairments that make using mobile devices and websites difficult
Megan (not her real name) had always taken pride in her ability to meet someone once and remember their name. Then came a breast cancer diagnosis in her 40s, chemotherapy and the brain fog that followed. She struggled to ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How anaerobic digestion can help reduce emissions and increase income streams
An advanced technology that could benefit farmers' bottom line and help meet the rising demand for domestic energy production borrows a key ingredient from a centuries-old practice of burning dried manure to warm homes where ...
Phys.org / New cell imaging method measures protein folding in living organelles
Protein aggregates are associated with the development of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These are found more often in certain areas of cells known as membraneless organelles. Do these organelles promote this ...
