Medical Xpress / New dietary guidelines prioritize 'real food'—but low-income pregnant women can't easily obtain it
The federal government's message in its new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released in January 2026, couldn't be simpler: "Eat real food."
Phys.org / Using light to probe fractional charges in a fractional Chern insulator
In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, which carry only a fraction ...
Tech Xplore / New perspective charts path to next-generation water and energy membranes
When you turn on a faucet, charge an electric vehicle or use products made with clean hydrogen, you may not realize that membranes—ultrathin films perforated with pores too small to see—make these modern processes possible. ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered virus linked to colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the Western world and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Age, diet and lifestyle are known risk factors. However, in most cases we still lack a precise ...
