Phys.org / Apprentices in private, independent companies face disadvantages
Apprentices in private, independent companies are more likely to fail their final exams, change contracts and not complete their training than apprentices who have contracts through a training agency.
Phys.org / Genome tool places large genetic sequences precisely in rice and tobacco without DNA breaks
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a new way to add large pieces of genetic information to plants, overcoming a challenge that has limited plant biotechnology for decades. ...
Phys.org / Student research shows positive outcomes from summer research program
Physician-scientists hold a unique role in the medical field. They balance patient care with conducting research. Physician-scientists spend much of their time in laboratories performing experiments to drive innovation across ...
Phys.org / Conditions remain 'unchanged' for young people with disability, data reveal
The level of inequity experienced by young people with disability has remained largely unchanged since the turn of the century, according to new research led by Flinders University. Using data from the Household, Income and ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how networks of switches in DNA, which regulate gene expression, drive cancer growth
Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are activated. Scientists know these switches play a critical role in cancer and other diseases, but they ...
Phys.org / Study spotlights human toll of abrupt U.S. foreign aid cuts
In January 2025, the Trump administration announced a 90-day freeze on all United States government (USG) foreign aid, which subsequently became a permanent shutdown of USAID in July 2025. New research finds that the abrupt ...

Motor issues—such as coordination problems, motor slowing or sudden, uncontrolled movements—have been recognized as signs of psychological disorders since the 1800s. How they map to mental health conditions, however, remains ...
Phys.org / Water-surface vortices drive tiny rotors without electricity, magnets or chemicals
Reliably generating controlled miniature rotations has long been a challenge: Chemical propulsion systems wear out, and methods that use electric or magnetic fields require complex setups. A team from KIT's Institute of Microstructure ...
Phys.org / Florida researchers bring endangered elkhorn coral ashore to protect them
Scientists working to save a coral species from extinction transported 30 pieces from nurseries off the Florida coast to a hatchery on land Wednesday, fearing that warming waters could trigger a mass bleaching event this ...
