Phys.org / University team proposed retractable, pressurized tunnels for missions to Mars
NASA and China's national space agency plan to send crewed missions to Mars in the coming decades. Per NASA's Moon to Mars mission architecture, this will involve using infrastructure established through the Artemis Program ...
Phys.org / New screening tool spots RNA-disrupting antibiotics for drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria
Researchers from Skoltech and other science centers in Russia have developed a reporter system—a tool for screening potential new antibiotics—that enables the selection of drug compounds disrupting RNA synthesis in gram-negative ...
Phys.org / New Horizons watches the solar wind as it slows down
Where does the solar system end and interstellar space begin? That's a question scientists have been working to answer using spacecraft traveling beyond the sun's influence. A team of researchers from the Southwest Research ...
Phys.org / Machine learning to predict how fast biodegradable plastics break down in nature
Testing how quickly a biodegradable plastic actually breaks down in the environment can take months, sometimes years, of lab work. A new study from the Agricultural University of Athens, offers a faster alternative: a machine-learning ...
Phys.org / Researchers install 3D-printed seawall tiles to support coastal protection and marine life
At Morningside Park in Miami, a new installation is testing a simple but urgent idea: What if a seawall could help heal the bay? Researchers at the Institute of Environment recently installed a series of 3D-printed seawall ...
Medical Xpress / Equine 'colleagues' can help protect therapists from burnout
"Including a big, warm creature in the therapy space creates a completely different dynamic than what can be achieved in an office," said Charlotte Fiskum, associate professor of psychology at the Norwegian University of ...
Phys.org / Study finds sharing tax numbers boosts transparency, not confusion, for investors
A new study finds that publicly traded companies that disclose more numbers related to what they pay in taxes improve their transparency, allowing the market to make more informed investing decisions. The finding highlights ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers chart a genetic path to diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis and predicting outcomes
Researchers have validated a genetic scoring tool that may help physicians diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and identify which patients are at greatest risk for severe outcomes, including death or the need for a lung ...
Medical Xpress / First AI agent and risk prediction model for precision diabetes management
A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed Hong Kong's first "AI Agent for Precision Diabetes Management—PIPE-AI" (AI Agent), designed specifically for Asian populations, together with a ...
Phys.org / Hawaiʻi island spinner dolphins are producing fewer calves
Unexpectedly low calf numbers within the spinner dolphin population off Hawaiʻi Island were revealed in a study led by scientists with the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, along ...
Medical Xpress / Promising medication combination to treat an 'undruggable' type of lung cancer
Breakthrough research led by scientists in Manchester has identified a new drug combination that could improve outcomes for thousands of patients with lung cancer driven by a rare type of KRAS mutation, offering hope for ...
Phys.org / Isotope probing shows soil is packed with dormant viruses lying in wait
A single gram of soil contains between 10 million and 1 billion viruses. Most of those viruses do not infect plants, animals or people, but they do target bacteria and other microbes. Because of their influence on microbial ...
