Phys.org / When gigantism shapes the diet of a superpredator: The Japanese giant salamander's spectacular transition
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Liège on a large population of Japanese giant salamanders—one of the largest amphibians in the world—reveals that above a certain size, a spectacular transition occurs ...
Phys.org / Amino acid 'stickers' help decode spider silk's strength and flexibility
Scientists have identified the molecular interactions that give spider silk its exceptional strength and flexibility, opening the door to new bio-inspired materials for aircraft, protective clothing and medical applications, ...
Phys.org / A new comet was just discovered. Will it be visible in broad daylight?
A newly discovered comet has astronomers excited, with the potential to be a spectacular sight in early April. C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was spotted by a team of four amateur astronomers with a remotely operated telescope in the Atacama ...
Phys.org / Review finds knowledge management boosts public sector performance in emerging economies
Public sector organizations in emerging economies could improve their performance and resilience by taking a more systematic approach to knowledge management, according to a review in the International Journal of Business ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men's bone health
New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males. A McGill University-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone ...
Tech Xplore / 'I'm walking here!' A new model maps foot traffic in New York
Early in the 1969 film "Midnight Cowboy," Dustin Hoffman, playing the character of Ratso Rizzo, crosses a Manhattan street and angrily bangs on the hood of an encroaching taxi. Hoffman's line, "I'm walking here!" has since ...
Phys.org / 91-qubit processor accurately simulates many-body quantum chaos
Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a way by leveraging error ...
Medical Xpress / The 'hot flush gold rush': How women feel about being flooded with menopause marketing
Every person with functioning ovaries will eventually experience menopause. While the biology is relatively universal, the experience varies dramatically between individuals and in the same person over time.
Phys.org / Live-cell tracking reveals dynamic interaction between protein folding helpers and newly produced proteins
Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, amino acids, are assembled ...
Phys.org / NASA confirms first flight to ISS since medical evacuation
Four astronauts will blast off to re-staff the International Space Station (ISS) next week, NASA said Friday, after an emergency medical evacuation of the previous crew.
Medical Xpress / Healthy dietary change could support adolescent mental health
A study led by researchers at Swansea University suggests that dietary patterns may play a role in adolescent mental health, and sets out a detailed research roadmap to better understand this relationship. The review examined ...
Medical Xpress / RNA therapeutics shrink metastasized lung tumors in mouse study
A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating an immune response or ...
