Medical Xpress / How your life story leaves epigenetic fingerprints on your immune cells
The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients experiencing the same infection. How can two people infected by the same pathogen have such different responses? ...
Phys.org / Showing real climate wins and friendships helps people join collective climate efforts
What does it take to spur individuals to act as a group with a shared purpose on climate change? According to a new Stanford-led study, the key is to show them how collective actions on climate have made a difference and ...
Phys.org / Reconfigurable robotic fish reveals how stiffness and wave propagation shape swimming performance
How can some fish, like tuna, achieve remarkable speed while others, like eels, excel in maneuverability? A research team from Peking University (PKU) has developed a novel robotic platform that sheds new light on this classic ...
Phys.org / Red flowers have a 'magic trait' to attract birds and keep bees away
For flowering plants, reproduction is a question of the birds and the bees. Attracting the right pollinator can be a matter of survival—and new research shows how flowers do it is more intriguing than anyone realized, and ...
Phys.org / Parasite behind toxoplasmosis hides multiple distinct subtypes inside each cyst
A University of California, Riverside team of scientists has found that Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite affecting up to one-third of the global population, is far more complex than previously believed. The findings, ...
Phys.org / First radio signals from rare supernova reveal star's final years
Astronomers have captured the first radio waves ever detected from a rare class of exploding star, a discovery that has given them an unprecedented look into the final years of a massive star before its death in a powerful ...
Phys.org / How a vital DNA protection protein complex adapts to new threats without compromising its essential functions
In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," Alice is stuck in a never-ending race with the Red Queen yet never gains a lead. "It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place," the Queen says. "Though we ...
Phys.org / How defects make permanent magnets even more efficient
Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, environmentally friendly mobility. These are not simple blocks of metal, but carefully engineered materials ...
Phys.org / Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4% chance of hitting the moon. Here's why that's a scientific goldmine
There's a bright side to every situation. In 2032, the moon itself might have a particularly bright side if it is blasted by a 60-meter-wide asteroid. The chances of such an event are still relatively small (only around 4%) ...
Medical Xpress / Deciphering chaos: New 'fuzzy' AI predicts battle between immune system and cancer
Understanding how a tumor evolves against the attack of the immune system is one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. Current mathematical models are usually deterministic; that is, they assume fixed values that ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II crewed mission to the moon shows how US space strategy has changed since Apollo
When Apollo 13 looped around the moon in April 1970, more than 40 million people around the world watched the United States recover from a potential catastrophe. An oxygen tank explosion turned a planned landing into an urgent ...
Medical Xpress / Combined patient and clinician nudges increased flu vaccination rates by 28%
Patients were 28% more likely to get a flu shot when they got a text message reminder and their primary care provider already had an order for the shot waiting, new research from the Perelman School of Medicine showed. The ...
