Medical Xpress / FLT3 inhibitors trigger ferroptosis, exposing new weakness in acute myeloid leukemia
A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College ...
Phys.org / US firm takes on backyard mosquitoes—with 600,000 mosquitoes
Todd Montgomery pops the lid off a small tube and taps out hundreds of mosquitoes into the backyard of a suburban home outside Washington.
Phys.org / UK observatory nervously watches growing space junk threat
In the sweeping shadow of a satellite dish, staff at the Chilbolton Observatory in southern England track a growing number of objects in Earth's orbit, providing data that underpins Britain's space monitoring efforts.
Phys.org / Mushroom behind 'tiny people' hallucinations identified
People in communities thousands of miles apart have described the same strange experience after eating a mysterious mushroom: vivid visions of tiny humans moving through and interacting with the physical world around them. ...
Phys.org / JWST study suggests a handful of 'leaky' galaxies reionized the early universe
A new study analyzing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectra of more than 1,400 galaxies suggests a surprisingly small group of "leaky" galaxies was responsible for cosmic reionization. The paper outlining this work ...
Medical Xpress / Wildfires now the dominant contributor to unhealthy levels of air pollution for pregnant women in the US
Wildfires are well-known health risks. Now, in a new Frontiers in Environmental Health study, researchers in the U.S. have—for the first time—evaluated how prenatal PM2.5 exposure has changed over space and time on a national ...
Medical Xpress / A precise neuronal mechanism allows the brain to plan future routes to remembered goals
When humans and other animals move through familiar or unfamiliar environments, their brains rely on numerous intricate neural processes to decide which path to take next. Past studies have identified a specific population ...
Phys.org / Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of environmental noise, like heat, stray signals or microscopic vibrations. ...
Medical Xpress / Common midlife vascular risk factors may cut dementia-free life by up to 13 years
A new study, published in Neurology Open Access, shows an association between three common vascular risk factors and the amount of dementia-free time people experience after age 55. The study hints that dementia is not inevitable ...
Phys.org / Sunlight-powered setup generates quantum entanglement
Today's quantum technologies rely on energy-intensive lasers, raising concerns that scaling them up could further increase energy demands. In new work, researchers have demonstrated that quantum entanglement between photons ...
Medical Xpress / US sees a big jump in nausea cases among frequent marijuana users in the hospital
In the past year, the U.S. has seen a jump in frequent marijuana users going to the hospital with a nausea and vomiting condition, according to a report released Thursday.
Phys.org / AI for homework—parents more willing to pay subscriptions for their children as peer pressure rises
Many parents have mixed feelings about the unrestricted use of artificial intelligence (AI) for schoolwork. They are concerned about the potential impact on their child's ability to learn but also don't want them to be left ...
