Phys.org / New study reveals spatial patterns of crime rates and media coverage across Chicago
A spatial analysis of crime in Chicago suggests that certain environmental and socioeconomic factors, such as building density, are linked with crime rates, but these relationships differ between neighborhoods. The study ...
Medical Xpress / Parkinson's drug tolcapone found to block key protein in hospital superbug
When the hospital germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa infects the body, it uses the sugar-binding protein LecA to attach itself to human cells, invade them, and form so-called biofilms. LecA thus plays a central role in the development ...
Phys.org / Polite robots in schools prompt children to respond with courtesy and empathy
The presence of robots in schools is no longer surprising. How do elementary school children treat humanoid robots? Are they polite to them, and willing to attribute human-like qualities to them? Researchers from SWPS University ...
Phys.org / South Korea's largest satellite launched on Nuri rocket in ambitious space mission
South Korea launched its largest satellite yet on its nationally developed space rocket early Thursday in the fourth of six launches planned through 2027.
Tech Xplore / Engineers tackle pre-ignition challenges in hydrogen-fueled engines
Engineers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have developed a reliable testing methodology to study stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) in hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (H2-ICEs), offering the automotive industry ...
Tech Xplore / Turning up the heat on steel's carbon pollution problem
EU researchers are testing new hydrogen-powered burners that could slash emissions from one of the world's most carbon-intensive industries—without shutting down production.
Medical Xpress / Neuroscience takes flight: Introducing behavioral 'wind tunnels' for real-world brain translation
The Journal of Neuroscience features for the first time a cover concept that is not about what neuroscientists have done, but rather what neuroscience can do for humanity's future.
Phys.org / Puzzling ultraviolet radiation in the birthplaces of stars
Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its role in the formation ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop one-product-fits-all immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest forms of cancer, with most patients diagnosed after the disease has already spread throughout the body. The five-year survival rate for metastatic cases hovers around 2–3%, and median ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists use textile ash to create extremely strong cement
Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) are developing new ways to turn textile waste into energy and high-performance cement materials, offering sustainable solutions for two resource-intensive sectors—textiles ...
Tech Xplore / AI decodes pianists' muscle activity via video
AI and human-movement research intersect in a study that enables precise estimation of hand muscle activity from standard video recordings. Using a deep-learning framework trained on a large, comprehensive multimodal dataset ...
Phys.org / Why are shiny colors rare in nature? Artificial flower experiment suggests a visual trade-off
Nature is brimming with color in almost every season. While the majority of colors are matte, some are shiny. Evolutionary biologist Casper van der Kooi wondered why shiny colors are so rare. He researched how bees perceive ...
