Phys.org / Billions of invasive round goby are in the Great Lakes. Researchers want to stop them from spreading inland
For decades, the round goby has been one of the Great Lakes' most destructive invasive species. Scientists estimate its population numbers in the billions, making eradication unrealistic.
Phys.org / Male Neanderthal pelvises resemble those of modern females, challenging decades-old assumptions
A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, published in Scientific Reports, offers an explanation for one of the striking differences between men and women: the evolutionary development ...
Medical Xpress / Tsimané and Moseten peoples of lowland Bolivia demonstrate an intriguing case of epidemiological resilience
Despite widespread COVID-19 infection in the Tsimané and Moseten populations of Bolivia, the mortality rate in these remote Indigenous groups was the lowest ever recorded for any population or region.
Medical Xpress / Common arthritis pill repurposed to boost hair regrowth in alopecia patients
Upadacitinib is a medication widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis that works by inhibiting Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which are involved in signaling pathways that regulate immune responses. Now, scientists ...
Phys.org / Immune cells have a 'sense of touch,' scientists discover
Scientists have long believed that tissue-resident memory T cells—which remain in tissues after an infection has cleared and respond rapidly if the threat returns—are shaped primarily by biochemical signals. A McGill University–led ...
Phys.org / AI agents coordinate behavior based on majority opinion—even when said opinions are meaningless
A new study published in Science Advances takes a closer look at how AI agents' choices are influenced by their peers. The team found that more advanced models tend to follow the majority when shown other agents' choices, ...
Phys.org / Molecular electromagnetic sensor may enable remote-controlled gene therapy
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of living organisms contains regulatory elements that control when, where and to what extent specific genes are turned on or off. They can be co-opted to create "gene switches" that hold significant ...
Phys.org / First pair of feeding supermassive black holes found in a Green Pea galaxy
Astronomers have discovered the first confirmed dual active galactic nucleus in a Green Pea galaxy, revealing two supermassive black holes growing at the same time inside a compact, intensely star-forming system. X-ray observations ...
Phys.org / Dice design solves board gaming's most surprisingly complex problem—who goes first?
It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first?
Phys.org / Three photons at once beat the standard photon test
Physicists at the University of Twente have improved the standard test for the quality of individual particles of light. By letting three photons interfere at the same time instead of two, they draw more information from ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental pill targets nerve pain pathway, cutting opioid use after abdominal surgery
Opioids can be highly effective at relieving moderate to severe pain, whether it comes from surgery, an injury or conditions such as cancer. They work by activating opioid receptors in the brain and body, which block pain ...
Phys.org / Dark matter may be gravitationally lensing a likely source of cosmic neutrinos
Astronomers have discovered that the jet of a distant blazar has been gravitationally lensed by an unseen source of dark matter. Led by Silke Britzen at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany, the team's ...
