Medical Xpress / Prostate cancer cells use unique metabolic pathway to thrive in bone tissue
A University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center study reveals how prostate cancer cells adapt their metabolism to thrive in bone tissue, offering a potential new treatment target for patients with advanced disease.
Phys.org / 2.8 days to disaster: Why we are running out of time in low earth orbit
A "House of Cards" is a wonderful English phrase that it seems is now primarily associated with a Netflix political drama. However, its original meaning is of a system that is fundamentally unstable. It's also the term Sarah ...
Phys.org / An 'origami' airless wheel to explore lunar caves
A joint research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Unmanned Exploration Laboratory (UEL) has developed a transformative wheel capable of navigating the moon's most extreme terrains, ...
Phys.org / Shortest light pulse ever created captures ultrafast electron dynamics
Electrons determine everything: how chemical reactions unfold, how materials conduct electricity, how biological molecules transfer energy, and how quantum technologies operate. But electron dynamics happens on attosecond ...
Medical Xpress / Most parents are aware of early peanut introduction guidelines—but confused about the details
Feeding babies peanut-containing foods as early as possible can help prevent peanut allergy, but a new study published in JAMA Network Open found that parents need more support to get it right. Interviews with parents revealed ...
Tech Xplore / 'Personality test' shows how AI chatbots mimic human traits—and how they can be manipulated
Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated "personality test" framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their "personality" can be reliably ...
Phys.org / The perfect polymer? Plant-based plastic is fully saltwater degradable and leaves behind zero microplastics
Researchers led by Takuzo Aida at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem.
Phys.org / Light-controlled cholesterol 'look-alikes' point toward smarter drug delivery
High levels of cholesterol are linked to heart disease, stroke, and many other health problems. However, this complex and vital fatty, water insoluble molecule—a lipid—is found in every cell of the body and is not all ...
Phys.org / PFAS detection in 15 minutes: A sensor system for rapid on-site analysis
PFAS are forever chemicals that do not degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals and humans, and can be harmful to health. The problem: Until now, detecting them has been complicated, ...
Medical Xpress / Genomic test helps flag early aggressive prostate cancer in African American patients
A new Moffitt Cancer Center study suggests a widely used genomic test can more accurately identify which men with early prostate cancer are at high risk for their disease to come back quickly after treatment, particularly ...
Phys.org / Saturn's biggest moon might not have an ocean after all
Careful reanalysis of data from more than a decade ago indicates that Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, does not have a vast ocean beneath its icy surface, as suggested previously. Instead, a journey below the frozen exterior ...
Phys.org / Perseverance Mars rover ready to roll for miles in years ahead
After nearly five years on Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled almost 25 miles (40 kilometers), and the mission team has been busy testing the rover's durability and gathering new science findings on the way to a ...
