Phys.org / 'Check your ingredients': A new blueprint for using Fermi's 'Golden Rule'
Underpinning much of modern technology, from smartphones to scanning tunneling microscopes to particle colliders, is Fermi's Golden Rule. Named for 20th-century Italian American physicist Enrico Fermi (but actually discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Novel microenvironment-targeted therapy for bone marrow recovery after injury
A healthy bone marrow (BM) produces nearly all types of cells in our blood. Many blood disorders occur when hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the BM malfunction. Treatment with radiation or chemotherapy for many blood disorders ...
Phys.org / High-status Iron Age burials reveal early links to Roman Empire
A large cemetery containing the lavishly adorned remains of unidentified high-status individuals dating from around 2,000 years ago has been uncovered by archaeologists from Archaeology South-East (UCL Institute of Archaeology). ...
Tech Xplore / Meet Biomni—an AI-powered biomedical co-scientist
In creating a comprehensive, AI-enabled research agent for the biomedical sciences, Stanford University researchers hope to speed innovation by eliminating the tedium of scientific legwork. Biomni, an AI-powered, multiskilled ...
Phys.org / Self-propelled microparticles scrub stubborn biofilms, improving wound care and instrument cleaning
Newly developed microparticles can infiltrate stubborn bacterial matrices and release tiny oxygen bubbles to clean surfaces and wounds more efficiently than hydrogen peroxide or other cleaning agents alone, researchers at ...
Phys.org / Heat waves push tropical forests past photosynthesis limits across 57 million hectares
As heat waves continue one after another, we are feeling their effects on our own bodies: It becomes harder for us to function normally. Trees also have their limits when temperatures are too high. Above a certain critical ...
Medical Xpress / Not all birth controls are equal, some are linked to higher risk of brain tumors, study finds
Meningiomas are the most common brain tumors in adults, accounting for 38% to 42% of all primary central nervous system tumors. According to 2021 WHO data, 874 million of the world's 1.9 billion women of reproductive age ...
Phys.org / The ghost in Orion's shell: Hydrogen maps show repeated stellar feedback sculpted around Orion Nebula
An international team led by Juan Diego Soler at the University of Vienna used two of the world's most powerful radio telescopes to uncover previously hidden structures within the Orion Nebula. The project produced the sharpest ...
Phys.org / Landslides kill 15 in Philippines as biggest typhoon in decades nears Taiwan
Fifteen people were killed in landslides in the Philippines, and thousands in Taiwan were evacuated from their homes as the biggest typhoon in decades neared the region Friday.
Phys.org / Metallic rutile oxides break the rules of cooling
Physicists have long puzzled over a strange contradiction inside a family of minerals called rutile oxides. These materials all share the same crystal structure—but while some of them, like titanium dioxide, are firmly insulating, ...
Phys.org / Stress protection of Amazon trees, induced by climate warming, may alter atmosphere chemistry
The Amazon rainforest is one of the largest carbon reservoirs on Earth. It is also the world's largest source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These carbon-based gases are naturally released by vegetation. They ...
Phys.org / Dust in the wind: intense storms struck China, US in 2025, says UN
China and the southern United States were hit last year by some of their worst sand and dust storms in decades, the United Nations said Friday.
