Phys.org / Drug-free nanoparticles stop tumor growth by transmitting biological messages to immune cells
A research team from the Technion's Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering has developed an original technology for treating cancer using nanoparticles that carry no drugs at all and has demonstrated its effectiveness against ...
Phys.org / Semiconductor chip writes 64 DNA sequences in water, setting new enzymatic benchmark
Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences and now synthesizing ...
Phys.org / How bacteria exploit human cell metabolism to sharpen infections and potentially evade treatment
A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance in infection and inflammation" has discovered a new mechanism by which bacterial pathogens adjust ...
Phys.org / New heat-regulating fabric feels fluffy like cotton—but doesn't get wet
Once cotton gets wet, it pulls heat from your body. This is helpful when you're exercising or outside on a hot day, but dangerous in the bitter cold. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have created an ultralight ...
Medical Xpress / Infant sleep movements reveal 60-minute cycles of inactivity that lengthen through first year
Infants' activity while sleeping is rhythmic, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. The findings provide crucial insight into sleep cycles of infants in the first year of life. In the largest study of its ...
Tech Xplore / Upsampling method sharpens AI vision with up to 16 times less GPU memory
From facial recognition on smartphones to humanoid robots, computer vision technology, which serves as the eyes of artificial intelligence (AI), is widely used in daily life. A joint research team from KAIST and international ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool outperforms existing methods for identifying severe childhood pneumonia
Pneumonia remains the leading infectious cause of death among children under 5 worldwide, claiming almost 1 million lives each year. Researchers at University College Dublin have developed an artificial intelligence tool ...
Phys.org / Tropical Storm Arthur, the first of the Atlantic season, targets Gulf Coast with heavy rain
The first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season formed Wednesday near the Gulf Coast, bringing intense rain and the threat of dangerous flash floods to states including Texas and Louisiana, meteorologists said.
Medical Xpress / New marker uses tomography to refine gastric cancer prognosis
Researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, have identified a new biomarker that may help determine the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer, the fifth most common type of cancer ...
Tech Xplore / Humanizing robots makes factory workers more productive
When factory workers treat industrial robots as co-workers—even attributing certain human qualities to them—productivity and well-being improve, according to new research out of the Alberta School of Business.
Medical Xpress / Premature babies—a simple test gauges neurocognitive development
Canadian scientists have demonstrated for the first time that a noninvasive brain-monitoring technique could help medical teams predict the future development of premature babies.
Phys.org / Spain logs third-warmest year on record in 2025
Spain registered its third-warmest year on record in 2025, with 25 single-day heat records set during the period, national weather agency AEMET said Wednesday.
