Medical Xpress / Epistasis study uncovers genetic interactions linked to heart disease
Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health problems. Two or more genes ...
Phys.org / The Rubin Observatory will rapidly detect more supernovae
In our galaxy, a supernova explodes about once or twice each century. But historical astronomical records show that the last Milky Way core-collapse supernova seen by humans was about 1,000 years ago. That means we've missed ...
Phys.org / Older petrol and diesel vehicles produce 50% of harmful particle emissions in Finland, study shows
In Finland, the average age of passenger cars is among the highest in Europe, and the majority of traffic-related particle emissions are produced by ICE vehicles that are more than 15 years old. The worst polluters are old ...

Phys.org / Too many students drop out of A-levels—here's how to help them pick a course they'll stick with
You can probably remember at least one education choice you regret. You don't have to be lazy or naive to pick the wrong subject, just lacking in information about what you will actually have to study on the course.
Tech Xplore / Ultrahigh solid loading enables high precision ceramic parts
National Taiwan University researchers have developed an ultrahigh-solid-loading (83 vol%) yet highly flowable suspension for 3D printing that produces ceramic parts with extremely low shrinkage and 100% density, overcoming ...
Tech Xplore / EU lawmakers want AI to pay for using copyrighted work
EU lawmakers on Wednesday demanded artificial intelligence providers pay for their use of copyrighted European content as they called for expanded rules to apply to generative AI.
Phys.org / South Africa's floods turned deadly because Limpopo wasn't prepared—how to prevent a repeat
