Medical Xpress / Ovarian cancer cells surprise scientists—the body's own defense may be the key to longer survival
A new study sheds light on why some patients with the most aggressive form of ovarian cancer respond better to treatment than others. Tumors positive for a molecule called MHC class II are linked to stronger immune responses ...
Phys.org / Afraid of chemistry at school? It's not all the subject's fault
Apart from a few exceptional cases, chemistry is often perceived as difficult, abstract and removed from real life. This affects students' motivation and choices, discouraging them from pursuing academic and professional ...
Medical Xpress / Smokefree generation law could see English smoking prevalence drop below 5% decades earlier than expected
New research, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that smoking prevalence among 12- to 30-year-olds in England could drop below 5% decades earlier than expected, if the government progressively raises ...
Phys.org / Weather pushes back SpaceX's Crew-12 window, opening door for first ULA launch of year
NASA's plans to get the first human spaceflight of the year off the pad have to hold off until at least Friday because of weather constraints along the flight path needed in case of emergency. That delay, though, opens the ...
Phys.org / We need to plan for what we fear, not just what we expect
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA)—the statutory agency responsible for planning the Basin's water resources—has just shared the starkest news yet about the Basin's future: the Basin is almost certainly going to ...
Phys.org / Five ways quantum technology could shape everyday life
The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark's plans to develop "the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer" mark just two of the latest developments in quantum technology's increasingly rapid ...
Phys.org / Anomalous magnetoresistance emerges in antiferromagnetic kagome semimetal
Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from the Institute of Semiconductors of CAS, revealed anomalous oscillatory magnetoresistance ...
Phys.org / Nature is a powerful ally against fires and floods: So how can it be saved?
More than a year after the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, the economic aftershocks of the disaster still permeate the lives of the people who survived it. Fewer than a dozen homes in some of the city's hardest-hit neighborhoods ...
Phys.org / Survey finds flashing and cyberflashing drives women to change routes and online habits
Women are being forced to change their behaviors due to the high levels of flashing and cyberflashing they are exposed to, according to new research co-led by the Durham University Law School. Cyberflashing—generally sending ...
Phys.org / UK's crumbling canals threatened with collapse
On a misty winter's day in the English midlands, engineers struggled to drag stranded narrowboats from a waterless, mud-filled canal that collapsed weeks earlier, in a delicate, multi-million-pound rescue operation.
Phys.org / Researchers discover L1td1 maintains stem cell pluripotency by degrading totipotency-associated RNAs
A new study has found that L1td1, a protein evolutionarily co-opted from the Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE1) retrotransposon, functions as a critical "gatekeeper" restricting pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) from ...
Phys.org / Study reveals floods are the biggest drivers of plastic pollution in rivers
Plastic pollution has become a major global environmental concern as modern societies rely increasingly on plastic products. Much of this plastic waste eventually reaches the ocean, with rivers acting as the main transport ...
