Phys.org / Surface engineering advances mitochondrial transplantation as a potential therapeutic strategy
Inside almost every cell in our bodies are tiny structures called organelles that keep us alive and functioning. Among these are many bean-shaped mitochondria, often referred to as the cell's power plants because they generate ...
Phys.org / Black hole feeding frenzy ends in lingering cosmic indigestion
Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic gluttons that swallow everything that comes too close. But new observations of a dramatic black hole outburst—led by Warwick Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Noel Castro Segura—suggest the ...
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 ...
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 / Quantum spin effects may enhance one-way electrical transport in chiral magnets
Quantum fluctuations influence direction-dependent electrical transport in chiral magnets, researchers from Science Tokyo report. In chiral magnetic systems, electric current flows differently depending on its direction, ...
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 / Pacific Ocean pattern helps explain diverging wildfire trends in US and Australia
Two of the world's most fire-prone regions have followed strikingly different wildfire trajectories despite both experiencing a warming climate. Burned forest area has surged across the U.S. Southwest, while eastern Australia ...
Phys.org / Ancient stardust grains were seeds for the earliest solids in the solar system
How did the first solids that made up planets, moons and asteroids form from the "hot soup" that characterized our solar system's earliest years? New research from Caltech analyzing pieces of a meteorite has found that, just ...
Phys.org / Ancient Chinese seeds spanning 5,000 years train AI to ease archaeology's specialist bottleneck
Ancient plant seeds provide important archaeological evidence for studying the evolution of human civilization. Lingnan University and Shandong University have jointly developed the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) ...
Medical Xpress / Simple triage protocol cuts ER wait times without adding beds or staff, new study finds
Emergency departments across the country face a common challenge: how to reduce long wait times without adding more beds, hiring more staff or expanding facilities. New research suggests one answer may be hiding in plain ...
Medical Xpress / Ivermectin taken at the start of pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes
A study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, found no increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or major congenital anomalies among women inadvertently ...
