Typically, astronomers identify comets by their distinct atmospheres, or comae, and their tails, which are created as the sun vaporizes a comet's ice. These features emit a glow when sunlight bounces off dust and water droplets. ...
Medical Xpress / Fertility proteins flip from reproductive role to support survival and growth of cancer cells
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have discovered that SYCP1, a protein previously thought to function only during the production of sperm and eggs, can be reactivated in cancer cells, where it helps tumors survive ...
Phys.org / Sensitive measurements uncover dual superconducting states in atom-thin NbSe₂ and TaS₂
A new study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simple superconductors with a single energy gap, they actually contain ...
Phys.org / New study reveals what drives the evolution of remarkable eyes in deep‑sea hyperiid amphipods
Hyperiid amphipods are a small but anatomically diverse group of shrimp-like crustaceans with remarkable adaptations for life in the ocean's twilight zone. A team of researchers from MBARI, the Smithsonian National Museum ...
Medical Xpress / New tool makes immune therapy more effective in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is often resistant to immunotherapy, which harnesses a person's immune system to recognize and destroy tumors. But a new technology that targets RNA in cancer cells gave immunotherapy new life, improving its ...
Phys.org / Quantum currents turn a nano 'soccer ball' into a powerful molecular electromagnet
Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak to be detected experimentally. Through theoretical modeling, researchers at the Institute of Science ...
Tech Xplore / UK unveils plans for social media curfew for older teens—but it's voluntary
The British government announced plans Wednesday to introduce a six-hour social media curfew from midnight for 16- and 17-year-olds—though they will be able to override the proposed default setting.

Medical Xpress / Tanning beds linked to severe skin reactions beyond cancer risk, review finds
People flocking to tanning beds in search of the perfect tan could be exposing themselves to a hidden health threat far beyond skin cancer, according to a comprehensive research review. The findings are published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Kohlrabi greenhouse trial shows nutrients recovered from human excreta can replace mineral fertilizer
A new study by Caroline Ganglo and Stefan Karlowsky from the Leibniz Institute for Horticultural Sciences (IGZ) investigated whether human excreta-derived fertilizers are suitable for replacing mineral fertilizer in kohlrabi ...
