Phys.org / Reeds boost mosquito spread in rivers and ponds
Reed, an invasive alien plant that is abundant on the banks of many rivers, ponds and canals, can encourage the growth of common mosquito populations in the absence of natural predators. When the plant's litter accumulates, ...
Phys.org / Efficient degradation of short-chain PFAS achieved with new method
Short-chain perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) such as perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) are increasingly entering the environment via various pathways and contaminating groundwater and drinking water. ...
Phys.org / Ancient African topography remotely modulated the South Asian summer monsoon millions of years ago, study finds
The South Asian summer monsoon sustains billions of people today. For a long time, the prevailing scientific view has held that the formation and intensification of the South Asian summer monsoon were primarily controlled ...
Medical Xpress / Blood vessels in fat tissue may help drive obesity and type 2 diabetes
Adipose tissue is far more important for our health than many may realize. It does not merely function as an energy store, but as an active tissue that continuously communicates with the rest of the body. This communication ...
Phys.org / Robotic fish prototype cuts aquaculture stress while inspecting nets and water
The Centre for Research in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló has developed an experimental modular, bio-inspired robotic fish prototype (UJIFISH) for inspection, hybrid ...
Phys.org / AI accelerators deliver accurate models for challenging quantum chemistry calculations
The most demanding calculations in quantum chemistry can now be solved with graphics processing unit (GPU) supercomputers. A recently published study shows that software adapted to use GPU hardware can provide not just speed, ...
Medical Xpress / Paxlovid looked like a COVID game-changer, but in vaccinated adults the real story is far more complicated
The results of two clinical trials—led by the Upstream Lab at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and Oxford University, published in the New England Journal of Medicine—provide new evidence to consider when funding, prescribing, ...
Medical Xpress / The one-two punch of stress and nighttime eating may lead to toilet trouble
It's well known that chronic stress can disrupt bowel function, sending people running to the bathroom or making them constipated. New research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026 suggests that eating late at night ...
Medical Xpress / New ST-elevation myocardial infarction protocol trial data provide deeper insight into patient outcomes
Researchers recently presented data on the secondary endpoints of STEMI-DTU (ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Door-To-Unload) at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2026 Scientific ...
Medical Xpress / Simple 'gut reset' procedure may prevent weight rebound following GLP-1 discontinuation
An outpatient procedure may offer a way for the estimated 70% of people who discontinue popular weight-loss drugs to avoid regaining the pounds they shed, according to a study presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026.
Medical Xpress / Continuous glucose monitors improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes trial
A major clinical trial has found that real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) significantly improves blood glucose management in adults living with type 2 diabetes who are treated with basal insulin.
Phys.org / Women in science: Global study finds presence without power
Academia isn't strong on gender equality. Women are underrepresented throughout, in the research workforce and even more so as leaders in scientific organizations. This is true for science academies (prestigious bodies within ...
