Phys.org / Volcanic emissions of reactive sulfur gases may have shaped early climate of Mars, making it more hospitable to life
While the early climate of Mars remains an open question, a new study suggests that its atmosphere may have been hospitable to life due to volcanic activity that emitted sulfur gases that contributed to a greenhouse warming ...

Phys.org / eDNA alone may mislead tracking of marine species' shifting ranges, study finds
Traces of DNA in the environment can tell us how species' ranges are changing as a result of increasing sea temperatures.

Medical Xpress / Rapamycin linked to DNA damage resilience in aging human immune cells
University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage.

Medical Xpress / Popular diabetes drug shows anti-aging effects among patients with type 2 diabetes
Henagliflozin, a popular drug prescribed for type 2 diabetes, has demonstrated potential anti-aging effects in a recent study published in Cell Reports Medicine.

Phys.org / Soil runoff from logged forests releases more reactive carbon, undermining climate mitigation efforts
The global demand for wood-based products is constantly increasing, creating a challenge for the logging industry. In an attempt to keep up in a sustainable manner, the industry replaces logged areas with tree farms and nurseries ...

Phys.org / Seaweed cells could give solar panels a boost
Seaweed growing along the world's coastlines could help to inspire new materials. Millions of years of evolution have shaped how seaweeds control light and color, which could offer new approaches for designers to explore.

Medical Xpress / Antioxidant shield for T cell telomeres shows promise against tumor-induced exhaustion
Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell's energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion and poor cancer outcomes.

Tech Xplore / Can Microsoft's analog optical computer be the answer to more energy-efficient AI and optimization tasks?
The constant scaling of AI applications and other digital technologies across industries is beginning to tax the energy grid due to its intensive energy consumption. Digital computing's energy and latency demands will likely ...

Phys.org / A Late Bronze Age foreign elite? German burial mounds reveal long-distance travelers
Recent research suggests that many of the Bronze Age people buried in Seddin, Germany, were not locals but came from outside the region. While archaeologists had previously uncovered artifacts from other parts of Europe around ...

Phys.org / Planet crossing starspots reveals detailed architecture of TOI-3884 system
As atmospheric observations of exoplanets become increasingly precise, it is more important than ever to correctly account for the effect of starspots on host stars. An ideal opportunity to study starspots arises when a transiting ...

Tech Xplore / Glass-like state leads to advancements in cryopreservation
Cryopreservation, or preserving biological tissue by cooling it to subzero temperatures, may bring to mind works of science fiction. Yet, researchers have been working on this technology for nearly 100 years. For most of ...

Phys.org / Clocks created from random events can probe 'quantumness' of universe
A newly discovered set of mathematical equations describes how to turn any sequence of random events into a clock, scientists at King's College London reveal. The paper is published in the journal Physical Review X.
