Phys.org / Beyond Mendel: Researchers call for a new understanding of genetics
For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its limits. In a perspective ...
Tech Xplore / Wind turbines combined with tidal–wave installations increase power generation by up to 70%
Combining wind turbines with wave, solar and tidal devices on shared platforms reduces construction costs, improves stability and generates more reliable power, according to researchers from the University of Surrey. The ...
Medical Xpress / Existing hospital analyzers offer a low-cost method to screen for fake vaccines
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 10.5% of medicines worldwide in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or are falsified (i.e., fake). These medicines and vaccines fail to prevent and treat the ...

Whether you practice ballet or prefer the tango, the benefits of dancing are self-evident. It's good exercise both physically and mentally due to the complexity of the movements, and it's also a fun social activity. But the ...
Phys.org / Digital forestry team combines AI with satellite data to monitor urban trees
A Purdue University digital forestry team has created a computational tool to obtain and analyze urban tree inventories on public and private lands with record-breaking speed at an unprecedented scale. The team accomplished ...
Tech Xplore / Study finds 'dosed' nonlinearity can beat linear and fully nonlinear AI
Umbrella or sun cap? Buy or sell stocks? When it comes to questions like these, many people today rely on AI-supported recommendations. Chatbots such as ChatGPT, AI-driven weather forecasts, and financial market predictions ...
Phys.org / When fluctuations shape biodiversity: A minimalist model explains why 'rarity' is so common
An ecosystem is not a still life. Even where everything looks stable—a woodland, a lake, the soil—the internal "bookkeeping" keeps changing: how many individuals belong to which species, and for how long. Some populations ...
Phys.org / Climate change and persistent contaminants deliver one‑two punch to Arctic seals, study finds
New research shows a single year of warmer-than-average Arctic temperatures can cause malnutrition in Arctic seals, intensifying risks to Inuit food security and northern ecosystems already under pressure from environmental ...
Phys.org / When electronics become flexible: Atom-thin materials for future devices
In a paper published in the journal Small, a team of physicists from IISER Pune have developed tiny electronic devices from a special semiconductor material called bismuth oxyselenide (Bi2O2Se). This development has potential ...
Medical Xpress / Study uses urine screening to detect alcohol use in early pregnancy
Previous reports have indicated that between 20% and 60% of pregnant women in Ireland consume alcohol during pregnancy. Data on alcohol consumption by pregnant women in Ireland have previously only been collected through ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop RNA-activated implant to stimulate nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury
Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow after spinal cord injury. ...
Medical Xpress / England has a chronic shortage of family doctors, according to a recent analysis
Four-fifths of England's integrated care boards (ICBs)—responsible for planning health services for their local population—would need to at least double their number of general practitioners to meet staffing standards ...
