Phys.org / A shark's energy reserves are linked to how far it travels, suggests new study
For years, researchers have tagged sharks in the world's oceans to learn where they go, how they migrate and where they feed. While these tags have given us a wealth of data about their lives, many questions still remain. ...
Phys.org / Chimpanzees are better at solving resource dilemmas in larger, more tolerant groups
Despite being one of the most cooperative species on the planet, humans routinely fail to manage shared resources sustainably. We overfish from the oceans, burn fossil fuels, and over-prescribe antibiotics; behaviors that ...
Medical Xpress / Final report casts doubt on existence of Canada mystery brain illness
A Canadian medical report published Friday found no evidence linking environmental factors to an unusual set of neurological symptoms affecting hundreds of people, a five-year saga that has shaken a small Atlantic province.
Tech Xplore / New heat-shrinking method integrates electronic circuits on irregular shapes
Most electronics are built on flat, stiff boards, which makes it incredibly difficult to fit them onto curved and irregular shapes we find in the real world, such as human limbs or curved aircraft wings. While flexible electronics ...
Medical Xpress / Lewy body formation in Parkinson's disease: Scientists propose a new molecular roadmap
Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that something isn't right.
Phys.org / Discovery of PITTs shows platelets can switch from clotting to driving vessel inflammation
A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the surface protein integrin αIIbβ3 is not only a key molecule in blood clotting, but can also act ...
Medical Xpress / Psilocybin could treat depression via a non-hallucinogenic receptor
Psychedelics, psychoactive substances that alter people's perceptions, mood and thought patterns, have recently shown promise for the treatment of some mental health disorders, including depression and substance use disorders ...
Phys.org / How European city life is continually rewriting insect DNA
Cities are known to shape the evolution of wildlife within them, but according to a study of European cities published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, this is not a one-off event. Rather ...
Phys.org / Hubble uncovers the secret of blue straggler stars that defy aging
Some stars appear to defy time itself. Nestled within ancient star clusters, they shine bluer and brighter than their neighbors, looking far younger than their true age. Known as blue straggler stars, these stellar oddities ...
Phys.org / SPHEREx imaging reveals increased sublimation activity on 3I/ATLAS
The interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, was first discovered in July 2025, and made its closest approach to the sun (perihelion) in late October. New observations of 3I/ATLAS were taken in December from the SPHEREx observatory—a ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a companion cluster to Czernik 38
Astronomers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) in Cairo, Egypt, have investigated a young open cluster known as Czernik 38. As a result, they found a new open cluster, which turns out ...
Medical Xpress / Predicting microbubble distribution for blood-brain barrier opening
A clinical study shows that preoperative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help predict how microbubbles will distribute in the human brain. This is a key step toward optimizing ...
