Phys.org / Cosmic lens reveals hyperactive cradle of future galaxy cluster
Galaxy clusters are formed by a dense packing of many galaxies, making them the most massive structures in the universe. Their progenitors, protoclusters, show these galaxies in their infancy, offering a window to study how ...
Tech Xplore / Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently, no platinum required
A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny particles of electrically conductive ...
Phys.org / NASA cancels spacewalk due to medical issue and may bring the crew back early
NASA canceled its first spacewalk of the year and may bring its crew back early from the International Space Station due to an onboard medical issue.
Medical Xpress / Infants receiving nirsevimab fare better against RSV compared to those with maternal vaccination
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. For most healthy adults and children, it causes only mild, cold-like symptoms and goes away on its own. Infants under 6 months ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting the immune system could prevent future heart attacks, clinical trial suggests
Cambridge researchers have discovered that an existing therapy which boosts protective immune cells in people who recently had heart attacks reduces blood vessel inflammation and may reduce the likelihood of future heart ...
Medical Xpress / Twin study ties childbearing timing to biological aging
A study based on Finnish twins shows that reproductive history is associated, at the population level, with women's lifespan and biological aging. In the study, mothers of large families, women who had no children, or women ...
Medical Xpress / A double-pronged attack on malignant B cells with improved immunotherapy
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, remains difficult to treat despite modern CAR T cell therapies. In recent research, a team led by Dr. Armin Rehm presents an improved immunotherapy that recognizes two distinct ...
Phys.org / Marine pollutants disrupt cellular energy production in seabirds
Common pollutants are disrupting energy production at the cellular level in wild seabirds, potentially affecting fitness, new research reveals. The study, published in Environment & Health, focused on Scopoli's shearwaters ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered protein complex could help immunotherapies target hard-to-treat neuroblastoma
Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed a method to help cancer immunotherapies reach otherwise "invisible" tumors by helping guide therapies to their appropriate targets. This could be ...
Phys.org / Frequent Arctic wildfires could cut snow cover by 18 days, impacting global climate and ecology
The correlation between Arctic wildfires and abnormal snow cover under global warming is of growing concern. A comprehensive quantitative assessment by researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has shown ...
Phys.org / Vera C. Rubin Observatory spots record-breaking asteroid in pre-survey observations
Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter over half a kilometer—a feat uniquely enabled by Rubin. The study provides crucial information ...
Phys.org / Portable biosensor could enable on-site PFAS detection
A portable biosensor developed at La Trobe University may allow rapid, on-site detection of toxic "forever chemicals" in water, removing the need for samples to be sent to specialist laboratories.
