Medical Xpress / X-chromosome inactivation attracts mutations that increase risk of hemophilia and muscular dystrophy
In a study published in the journal Science, researchers in Queensland and the United States discovered that the human X chromosome attracts an unusual kind of DNA mutation, potentially doubling the risk of certain genetic ...
Phys.org / Leave it: Dog trainers help pets avoid poisonous snakes
Ripley, a medium-sized dog with a strong prey drive, curiously approached Brian, a large western diamondback rattlesnake, until she got a quick zap on the neck meant to simulate a venomous viper's bite.
Phys.org / Sensor-embedded 3D-printed repairs could help preserve ancient pottery
Koç University researchers have developed a conservation method that combines photogrammetry, digital modeling, 3D printing and embedded sensors to replace missing sections of archaeological amphorae. The customized fills ...
Phys.org / Cesium atoms and quantum dots generate indistinguishable photons for modular quantum networks
Large-scale quantum communication networks require both reliable quantum memories and coherent single-photon sources that can exchange quantum information efficiently. A coherent source of single photons with narrow linewidth, ...
Phys.org / Natural emulsion manages to stop fungus that threatens up to 80% of cocoa production
An innovative formulation based on natural compounds could become a sustainable alternative for controlling moniliasis, one of the most devastating diseases affecting cocoa in Latin America. A new study shows that emulsions ...
Medical Xpress / AI blood assay detects liver cancer across diverse international populations
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center validated an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered blood test that accurately detected liver cancer in people from two geographically and biologically distinct populations ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA reveals Ice Age humans targeted female woolly mammoths
Analyzing ancient DNA from more than 500 mammoth bones, an international team of researchers found that Ice Age humans selectively targeted female woolly mammoths. The results of the study, published in Current Biology, show ...
Phys.org / Prolonged stretching reorganizes tissue scaffolds and uncages cell nuclei
How do tissues cope with being stretched for hours or even days? A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has uncovered an unexpected answer: Cells radically reorganize their internal ...
Phys.org / Curiosity Mars rover discovers field of honeycomb textures
As NASA's Curiosity rover recently began climbing a Martian valley nicknamed "Valle Grande," it sent back images that were a familiar sight to mission scientists: honeycomb-like textures called polygonal fractures, each about ...
Medical Xpress / Stockpiled Ebola vaccines trigger antibody response against Bundibugyo virus in lab tests
A highly contagious Ebola virus species, Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), has driven several outbreaks since 2007, including the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda in 2026. Bundibugyo virus causes severe ...
Phys.org / Astronomers identify one of the universe's rarest black hole events
A team of astronomers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has observed an extremely rare "wandering" black hole located tens of thousands of light-years from the center of its galaxy. This finding could reshape ...
Phys.org / Scientists have found a new way molecules can cooperate at room temperature
What if glowing molecules could synchronize, much like fireflies flashing in unison? Researchers have discovered that molecules confined within tiny gold nanostructures can behave collectively, coordinating their interactions ...
