Phys.org / From swarming bacteria to tissue cells, living matter defies classic physical models of motion
A new study led by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that living matter violates previously known physical principles of symmetry when cellular flows form and break down collective patterns. ...
Phys.org / AI companions may erode social skills among isolated users, framework suggests
As AI companions become more commonplace, new research from Singapore Management University (SMU) and Duke-NUS Medical School argues that the real question is no longer whether these technologies are beneficial or harmful, ...
Phys.org / Physicists crack the math connecting ultraslow quantum magnetism to ultrafast black-hole physics
A team led by University at Buffalo physicists has found a mathematical solution that shows how a frustrated quantum magnet can transition from ultraslow behavior to ultrafast, highly entangled behavior resembling that of ...
Phys.org / Psychologists provide tips on how to talk about identity
Imagine your child asks you out of the blue, "If we speak Spanish, will they take you away?" Or imagine them suddenly asking what an offensive slur means. When a child asks these types of questions, it can be difficult to ...
Medical Xpress / Blinatumomab improves event-free survival in children with high-risk B-cell ALL
Blinatumomab is associated with significantly higher event-free survival among children with newly diagnosed high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), according to a study published in the Sept. 17 issue of the ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop interactive tool to track agricultural injuries, strengthen prevention efforts
Agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. Each year, vehicles, machinery, environmental hazards and other incidents cause thousands of injuries and hundreds of fatalities. A thorough understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Cirrhosis can recur after liver transplant
Cirrhosis can recur after liver transplantation, according to a study published online Sept. 3 in Portal Hypertension & Cirrhosis.
Phys.org / Light beam 'swims' upstream through a quantum fluid by violating Newton's third law
Just as a leaf drifts along with a stream, objects in other moving fluids normally drift along with the flow. That is, unless they exert energy to move against it. Although it may be less intuitive, light waves or photons ...
Phys.org / Short 'logic check' warnings may improve how people assess climate arguments
In the climate debate, people are exposed to a lot of different information and opinions. A short warning that an argument may contain a logical fallacy helps people evaluate information more critically.
Medical Xpress / Cocaine hijacks a brain circuit that naturally supports flexible behavior
Researchers have identified a brain circuit that normally supports flexible behavior but is recruited by cocaine to drive increasingly rigid and repetitive behavior. Published in the journal Current Biology, the findings ...
Medical Xpress / Strength training causes fat cells to shrink even before weight loss, study suggests
Just seven days of strength training increased visceral fat burning in obese mice, even before any weight loss could be seen on a scale. In an experiment conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), researchers ...
Phys.org / RHIC data reveal intriguing dip in momentum fluctuations in high-density nuclear matter
Scientists using the STAR detector to study particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found an intriguing dip in their data in a relatively unexplored region of the nuclear phase diagram—a map ...
