Phys.org / CRISPR speed patterns can identify multiple viruses and variants simultaneously
As the spread of infectious diseases accelerates, technologies that can accurately distinguish multiple viruses in a single test are becoming increasingly important. KAIST and an international research team have developed ...
Phys.org / Tiny fossil shells hold two chemical signals that could skew past ocean temperatures
Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new study by iC3 researchers has found. The work shows that Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a key species in ...
Phys.org / LHAASO discovers new extreme particle accelerator in the Milky Way
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has made a breakthrough in exploring the extreme universe. For the first time, the LHAASO collaboration has detected ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma rays—with energies ...
Tech Xplore / End of black box AI? Scientists develop blueprint for transparent system that reveals how it learns and makes decisions
Artificial intelligence that cannot explain how it makes decisions—often called "black box" AI—could soon be replaced by more transparent systems, research suggests. A study by Loughborough University, published in Physica ...
Phys.org / Buried in soil, a 100-million-year-old bacterial toxin could reshape pest control and antibiotic discovery
In every backyard, park, and playground on Earth, the ground is teeming with a type of bacteria called Streptomyces—one of the most abundant organisms on the planet. While these dirt-dwelling microbes are known for producing ...
Science X / Personalized brain-training approach goes after one of depression's hardest-to-break loops
Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder characterized by persistent low mood, a loss of interest in everyday activities, repetitive negative thinking and possible changes in appetite and/or sleeping patterns. ...
Tech Xplore / Cleaning up toxic solar panels to bring them indoors
Safer and more environmentally friendly indoor solar panels could soon help power electronics in homes and offices, thanks to University of Queensland researchers. A team of chemical engineers led by UQ's Dr. Miaoqiang Lyu ...
Science X / The keyboard trap: Why your best arguments are failing online
While 84% of people prefer to type out a disagreement, new research involving 1,842 conversations reveals that the "safer" choice is actually fueling social friction. In an era of digital flame wars and rising political partisanship, ...
Medical Xpress / Why this CAR T advance matters: Complete remissions without chemotherapy at doses as low as 250,000 cells/kg
Stem-cell memory T (TSCM) cells are a rare subset of immune cells with the ability to self-renew, persist long term, and mount potent anti-tumor responses. These properties make them an attractive candidate for next-generation ...
Phys.org / Scorpions' weapons are fortified with metal to suit their needs, research shows
Scorpions wield some of the natural world's most formidable built-in weapons, from crushing pincers to venomous stingers. Scientists have long known that these structures contain trace metals that strengthen them, but only ...
Medical Xpress / T cells secrete DNA to boost the immune system's cancer-fighting ability
Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body's defense systems, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The discovery ...
Medical Xpress / One of the world's most common knee surgeries does not help and may even be harmful
Partial meniscectomy does not improve patient symptoms or function, reveals a 10-year follow-up of the FIDELITY, a placebo-surgery controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
