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 ...
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 / Transforming vibrations into clean fuels and chemicals through piezosynthesis
From ocean waves and flowing rivers to the systems used to transport and treat water, vibrations are everywhere. But can vibrations do more than just shake water? Can they split water or drive the production of useful chemicals ...
Medical Xpress / Around the world, road injuries remain a leading, preventable cause of death among young people
In 2023, nearly 51 million people were injured and 1.34 million died from road injuries, making road injuries one of the leading global causes of premature death and disability, according to a new study published in The Lancet ...
Medical Xpress / FDA: Iceberg lettuce recall stands after false positive for Cyclospora
A multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis has prompted a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce sold by Taylor Farms de Mexico of Guanajuato, Mexico.
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 / 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 ...
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 / Ancestral variation, not new mutations, may impact survival of species facing climate change
Research co-authored by an Oklahoma Museum of Natural History curator, her graduate student and an international team of scientists has shed new light on the evolutionary "toolkit" animals use to survive environmental change.
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover 'hidden key' to immunotherapy for intractable brain tumors
Researchers have uncovered a clue to why immune checkpoint inhibitors—cancer therapies that release the immune "brakes" exploited by tumors to evade attack—show limited efficacy in some brain tumors. A KAIST research team ...
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.
Phys.org / Molecules stop carbon nanotubes clumping, unlocking record heat-to-electricity performance
QUT researchers have overcome a challenge that has limited next-generation energy-harvesting materials for more than two decades, opening the door to more powerful wearable electronics and new ways of turning wasted heat ...
