Medical Xpress / Artery damage in adults in their 20s highlights need for early cardiovascular risk assessment
A new study found that nearly 8 out of 10 young adult participants, with an average age of 23 years, had cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM syndrome), according to independent research published today in Circulation: ...
Phys.org / Why many birds add fresh plants to their nests remains unclear despite signs of healthier offspring
As they build their nests, many birds are known to interweave dried grasses and other materials with green plants, such as fresh leaves, grass stems, herbs and aromatic leaves. While this behavior is well documented, why ...
Tech Xplore / The gap in Australia's anti-scam architecture
Australia's national response to scams has strengthened in recent years through government-led anti-scam measures. Yet losses remain above $2 billion, and scams continue to have a significant and devastating impact on individuals, ...
Phys.org / Universal pattern revealed in quantum matter
When different materials transition from one phase to another, such as water coming to a boil or a magnet losing its ability to attract metals, something remarkable can happen: They begin to behave identically, following ...
Phys.org / Early-universe plasma may have stopped dark photons from heating cosmos
A new paper published in Physical Review Letters reveals that a leading dark matter candidate—the hypothetical "dark photon"—would not have heated the early universe as previously thought. The finding opens a vast region ...
Phys.org / Black hole star: Astronomers discover a brand-new type of astrophysical object
Astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have spotted an extremely bright red spot in the early universe. The object resembles an enormous star, roughly the size of our solar system. But it also is putting out 100 billion times more ...
Phys.org / Honduras places 80% of country on El Niño drought alert

A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, published in Scientific Reports, offers an explanation for one of the striking differences between men and women: the evolutionary development ...
Phys.org / A little bit more than magic: The secret to quantum computing may lie in negativity
Quantum computers hold great promise for applications from drug discovery to cybersecurity. Yet figuring out what would give quantum computers their edge over everyday "classical" computers is a subtle problem. A new theoretical ...
Phys.org / AI agents coordinate behavior based on majority opinion—even when said opinions are meaningless
A new study published in Science Advances takes a closer look at how AI agents' choices are influenced by their peers. The team found that more advanced models tend to follow the majority when shown other agents' choices, ...
Phys.org / An echo of Einstein: An unexpected link between whale calls and special relativity
Standing on the sandy, windswept shores of Provincetown, Massachusetts, people may find themselves squinting at the horizon, waiting for a whale to make its grand entrance with a spectacular breach.
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug shows promise in reversing high blood pressure's toll on kidneys and heart in mice
High blood pressure affects nearly 1 in 8 people worldwide, and its impact goes far beyond a number on a blood pressure monitor. It can quietly damage the heart, kidneys and brain, making it one of the world's biggest preventable ...
