Tech Xplore / AI is rewriting cybersecurity's rules
AI is giving cybercriminals new speed and scale, but researchers say the technology could also become one of cybersecurity's strongest defenses.
Phys.org / How Gravity from Entropy theory connects the second law of thermodynamics with the emergence of cosmic structure
A new study by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi proposes a new perspective on one of the deepest questions in modern physics: How can the universe become increasingly structured and ...
Phys.org / New review highlights gaps in care for First Nations children in Canada
A new study finds that First Nations children still face long-standing inequalities in health care access in Canada despite improvements made through the application of Jordan's Principle—a policy designed to ensure First ...
Phys.org / From quantum error correction to emergent gravity: Probing holographic universes at QLab
One of the deepest ambitions in modern physics is understanding how the fabric of space and time could emerge from fundamental quantum degrees of freedom to establish a quantum theory of gravity.
Medical Xpress / Fecal microbe transplantation may improve sleep in people with chronic insomnia
In a randomized clinical trial published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, ingesting capsules containing fecal microbes from healthy donors helped treat symptoms of insomnia.
Phys.org / Advance could enable enzymatic reactions for chemical manufacturing beyond the boiling point of water
Enzymes are proteins that can be harnessed for chemical manufacturing, but they are typically restricted to mild temperatures because proteins unfold and lose their function under heat. In new research published in Angewandte ...
Phys.org / Analysis suggests debt may increase suicide risk
In a study published in Economic Inquiry that analyzed debt and income across U.S. counties at the onset of the Great Recession in 2008, investigators uncovered evidence that debt may affect the likelihood of suicide.
Phys.org / Tapeworm hijacks worker ants, giving them queen-like metabolism and longer lives
A tapeworm fundamentally changes the lives of ants: Workers of the species Temnothorax nylanderi infected with the tapeworm Anomotaenia brevis live several times longer than their uninfected nestmates. They are also less ...
Phys.org / Factors that affect the spininess of plants in different locations
Plants often grow spines, thorns and prickles to defend against animals that feed on them, but why this happens in some places more than others has remained a mystery. Research in New Phytologist shows that plant spininess ...
Phys.org / Circulating microRNAs offer insights for detecting and treating cachexia in senior dogs
Cachexia—a syndrome characterized by progressive muscle wasting—affects both humans and dogs with chronic diseases such as cancer. A recent study in Molecular Oncology found that lower circulating levels of certain microRNAs—small ...
Phys.org / When a SpaceX rocket crashes into the moon, scientists will be watching
On Aug. 5, 2026, an abandoned piece of space junk is predicted to crash into the moon near a spot called Einstein Crater. Astronomers will be watching because the collision and aftermath may be visible from Earth.
Phys.org / Why do some people who trust in science also believe in scientific conspiracy theories?
In a world where trust in institutions is generally declining, trust in science remains relatively high. Yet belief in scientific conspiracy theories, such as hushed-up effects of vaccines or airplane "chemtrails," is also ...
