Phys.org / Carbon nanostructure improves fuel-cell catalyst durability while reducing platinum use
The explosion of new data centers being proposed and built around the U.S. has increased demand for energy to keep them powered and cooled. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that data centers could consume up ...
Medical Xpress / Decades of data reveal who's most at risk of snakebites and how to prevent them
Snakebites aren't random but are predictably correlated with a variety of environmental and socioeconomic factors, according to a study published Aug. 6, 2026, in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases by Jaideep Menon ...
Medical Xpress / Grid cells turn the brain's searchlight from broad scanning to target-focused search
For 20 years, the grid cell was the closest thing neuroscience had to a fixed point. May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser found them in the rat brain in 2005, work that nine years later would carry them to the king's table in ...
Phys.org / First metabolically activated molecular glue degrader may target cancer cells under oxidative stress
Investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a platform for systematically discovering molecular glues that could become protein degradation drug candidates. The platform could help drug developers dramatically ...
Phys.org / Earthquake sensors can help forecast how hurricanes intensify
Stanford researchers have shown that instruments primarily used to understand earthquakes can capture key details about hurricanes, helping meteorologists better predict how storms will evolve and intensify.
Medical Xpress / A new front in the fight against malaria: Experimental bed nets halt parasite growth inside mosquitoes
Flaminia Catteruccia is not a mosquito lover; she won't hesitate to kill one if it lands on her arm. But she does respect their adaptability and resilience. "They've been on the planet for 400 million years—much longer than ...
Medical Xpress / Why the same antibiotic can cure one infection but fail in another
A group of researchers has uncovered why one common antibiotic works for urinary tract infections but often fails elsewhere, offering greater insight into how the body's own chemistry can determine whether antibiotics succeed ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery reveals aging human brains receive immune cell reinforcements from blood
The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own specialized immune cells and a blood-brain barrier that limits what can travel into the brain.
Phys.org / Random physics helps model individual ant motion
Ants make up one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, with many species boasting remarkable physical abilities and social behaviors, and an overall species richness that far exceeds that of mammals. Various ...
Phys.org / Liquid nitrogen may have recently flowed across Pluto's heart-shaped glacier
A new study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) provides evidence that liquid nitrogen is rising to Pluto's surface through cracks at the northern edge of Sputnik Planitia, part of the massive heart-shaped glacier ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain's electrical signatures shift as tinnitus becomes chronic
Ears are built to listen to sounds from the world around us, but for some people, the sound comes from within. Tinnitus causes people to hear ringing or other noises in one or both ears or in their heads, even when there ...
Phys.org / Atomic view of Alzheimer's disease peptide could inform new drugs
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of a peptide in the brain known as amyloid beta. A new study published in Nature Communications on July 22 has uncovered the atomic structure of the peptide ...
