Phys.org / Divergent moral values could make groups more accepting of norm-breaking behavior
Individuals in a morally diverse community tend to believe that the community's norms are looser. In turn, norm violations are more accepted, and there is a reduced willingness to police transgressions, according to research ...
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy targets untreatable cystic fibrosis mutation affecting about 10% of patients
Cystic fibrosis is among the most common, known and studied genetic diseases. It affects over 100,000 people worldwide and reduces life expectancy mainly as it causes lung and respiratory problems. Over the years, scientific ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers complete 16-year analysis of pediatric substance use health care patterns
Over the past 16 years, pediatric substance use-related visits (SUVs) to PEDSnet institutions have been increasing across all care settings and have increased at a greater percentage than visits overall, according to a comprehensive ...
Phys.org / Inside the skull of a Devonian fish from Gondwana, revealed by neutron imaging
Flinders University researchers have taken a revealing look inside the head of one of the first animals to crawl from the water to live on land more than 380 million years ago. Using high-tech neutron imaging, they scanned ...
Tech Xplore / Why faster AI isn't always better
In the race to make AI models not just reason better but respond faster, latency—the delay before an answer appears—is often treated as a purely technical constraint, something to minimize and move past. But how is this relentless ...
Medical Xpress / Impaired cell recycling leads to muscle weakness in rare genetic disorder
Myofibrillar myopathy type 6 (MFM6) is a rare genetic muscle disorder that leads to severe muscle weakness and a drastically shortened life expectancy due to a disruption in muscle protein regulation. Researchers at the University ...
Phys.org / Study shows a widely used antifungal drug works only when its target enzyme is active
Serious fungal infections are on the rise, and many hospital-acquired cases are becoming harder to treat as fungi become resistant to available medications. One of the most widely used therapies, caspofungin, combats Candida ...
Science X / They lost weight and did everything right, but one group still faces type 2 diabetes years later
A healthy diet, weight loss, and increased physical activity can effectively prevent type 2 diabetes. However, not all individuals at elevated diabetes risk benefit equally from lifestyle interventions. People classified ...
Phys.org / Amazon recovery masks diversity loss as fires, droughts and windstorms reshape forest edges
Even after fires, severe droughts, and windstorms, the vegetation in degraded Amazonian forests demonstrates a high capacity for regeneration, including tree species. However, recovery occurs under new ecological conditions, ...
Phys.org / Common soil fungus could cut pesticide use while helping tomatoes grow stronger
Trichoderma species—a common fungus found in soils—have varying abilities to promote tomato plant growth and differentially affect the abundance of certain soil bacteria, according to a study led by researchers at Penn State.
Tech Xplore / OpenAI launches GPT-5.5 as rivals race to build more autonomous AI assistants
OpenAI released a new model it touts as its best yet for handling research work like making improved versions of itself, as rapid-fire releases by AI rivals pick up pace.
Medical Xpress / Genetic study reveals likely cause of common heart valve defect
New clues from genetic research may help explain what causes the most common heart defect present at birth. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet have identified rare DNA changes during ...
