Phys.org / Astronomers discover long-period radio transient of unknown origin
Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP), astronomers have discovered a new long-period radio transient source, which received the designation ASKAP J142431.2–612611 (ASKAP J1424 for short). The newfound transient has ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning model predicts how individual cells influence disease outcomes
A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to patient outcomes using widely available bulk RNA sequencing data. The approach uses single-cell reference ...
Phys.org / Physicists break longstanding high-temperature superconductivity record at ambient pressure
Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient pressure—a breakthrough that ...
Medical Xpress / Largest study of its kind tests hydration strategy for kidney stones
Kidney stones can cause some of the most intense pain people ever experience, affecting daily life and leading many to hospital emergency visits. It affects one in 11 people in the U.S., and almost half will experience a ...
Medical Xpress / Home-based chemotherapy: Pilot study demonstrates safety and feasibility
In a study published in NEJM Catalyst, Mayo Clinic researchers demonstrate that chemotherapy can be safely delivered in patients' homes. The study evaluated Mayo Clinic's Cancer CARE Beyond Walls (Connected Access and Remote ...
Medical Xpress / Genes tied to impulse control play a major role in addiction risk
Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process rewards, regulate impulses and weigh consequences—not from genes that specifically influence substance ...
Phys.org / Microwave quantum network shows resilience against heat-related disturbances
Quantum communication systems are emerging solutions to transmit information between devices in a network leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement. Entanglement is a quantum effect that entails a link ...
Phys.org / Fossil X-ray reveals new species of baby dino named for iconic Korean cartoon
Cute, green, and sporting two sprigs of hair on his head, a mischievous baby dinosaur named Dooly is one of the most beloved cartoon characters in South Korea. So, when researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered tissue offers hope for children born with 'missing' esophagus
Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus—the food pipe—shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and restore normal ...
Phys.org / H5N1 in marine mammals is spreading: Research tallies over 50,000 seals and sea lions killed along South America's coast
When the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was discovered on a poultry farm in Asia in 1996, there was little indication that it would become so widespread and so destructive. Within 30 years, it reached every ...
Phys.org / Clearest evidence yet that giant planets spin faster than their cosmic lookalikes
For decades, astronomers have struggled to differentiate giant planets from brown dwarfs, a class of objects more massive than planets but too small to ignite nuclear fusion like true stars. Through a telescope, these cosmic ...
Phys.org / Clearing the nanoscale bottleneck holding back next-gen electronics
Researchers at UCLA have discovered a way to dramatically improve how electrical current enters perovskite semiconductors, an emerging class of materials with enormous potential for next-generation electronics. Their research ...
