Phys.org / A new crab is settling in the Mediterranean: Early evidence of establishment of a Lessepsian species in the Ionian Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is undergoing rapid ecological transformations driven by climate change and human-mediated species introductions. Among the most striking processes is the increasing arrival and establishment of non-indigenous ...
Phys.org / Protostars 'sneeze' and produce rings of gas and magnetic flux as they grow
Researchers have uncovered new insights into the early development of baby stars. As published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a research team from Kyushu University and Kagawa University reports that during the early ...
Medical Xpress / How T cells amplify signals: New study reveals key molecular switch
Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be precisely amplified to mount an effective defense against invasive threats. New research by immunologists ...
Phys.org / Oregano, rosemary and 'time': Long-term swine study shows natural-compound benefits
In the search to replace antibiotic growth promoters with effective alternatives in modern swine production, plant-based essential oils are showing potential to provide lasting benefits. In a rare long-term public study that ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II mission launches on first crewed lunar flyby in 50 years
Four astronauts blasted off aboard a massive NASA rocket Wednesday on a long-anticipated journey around the moon, the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years.
Medical Xpress / Scalable sensors lower the cost of studying genetic disorders
Researchers have demonstrated a new class of low-cost, scalable sensors that can be used to monitor electrical activity in human cerebral organoids. Because electrical signals are key to understanding brain function, this ...
Phys.org / Native Americans were making dice, gambling, exploring probability millennia before their Old World counterparts
A new study in American Antiquity presents evidence that the earliest known dice in human history were made and used by Native American hunter-gatherers on the western Great Plains more than 12,000 years ago at the end of ...
Medical Xpress / AI-powered portable eye scanner expands access to low-cost community screening
Imagine being able to assess how healthy the front of our eyes are not only in hospitals, but also in remote eye-screening camps, elderly-care facilities, pharmacies, or even train stations. That is the future a research ...
Phys.org / Graphene 'scaffold' recruits bone cells and helps the body regenerate fractures
Experiments conducted in Brazil using laboratory rats have shown that graphene-based structures can act as a powerful ally in bone regeneration. These structures are made of sheets of the chemical element carbon that are ...
Phys.org / Superconductivity switched on in material once thought only magnetic
Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ultra-fast electronics essential for advanced technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
Phys.org / Virus-inspired DNA needle could pave the way for better medicines
Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, crucially, help make sure they remain active once they get there. That addresses a major problem ...
Medical Xpress / Largest genome study of urban Peruvians unlocks clues for precision medicine
Latin American people are represented in fewer than 4% of genetic epidemiological studies around the world. When they are included, they're often lumped together as one group, despite the rich diversity among different Latin ...
