Phys.org / SimCells successfully target and kill drug-resistant bacteria
We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so it goes on until some of our treatments no longer work. Superbugs and antimicrobial resistance ...
Phys.org / Astronomers determine the fate of a double white dwarf binary
Utilizing the stellar evolution code named Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), Chinese astronomers have investigated the evolution of a recently discovered ultra-compact double white dwarf binary system ...
Phys.org / North Sea wind farms may be reshaping sediment flows by 1.5 million tons a year
Offshore wind farms are an important pillar of the European Union's strategy for renewable energy—by 2050, the EU aims to increase capacity in the North Sea more than tenfold. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon shows ...
Tech Xplore / Alkaline steel and cement wastewater could capture 30 million tons of CO₂ annually
Alkaline industrial wastewaters from steel or cement production are ideally suited to bind and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) chemically, safely, and for the long term. This is the result of a study conducted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum ...
Phys.org / He suddenly couldn't speak in space. NASA astronaut says his medical scare remains a mystery
The astronaut who prompted NASA's first medical evacuation earlier this year said Friday that doctors still don't know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.
Phys.org / Gaia analysis finds Messier 35 is larger and older than earlier estimates
Astronomers from Egypt and Turkey have conducted a comprehensive analysis of kinematic, structural, and astrophysical parameters of a nearby open cluster known as NGC 2168. Results of the new study, published March 23 on ...
Phys.org / Positive views of the #Tradwife movement linked to higher levels of sexism among men
Men who generally perceive women through a negative lens tend to be the most likely to positively view the #tradwife movement, says the findings of the world's first study into men's attitudes surrounding the increasingly ...
Medical Xpress / New, more effective delivery method for eye cancer treatment is derived from pig semen
Getting past the barrier surrounding the eye is a difficult but necessary part of treating retinoblastoma (RB)—a form of eye cancer that is more common in children. Once the barrier is penetrated, RB responds well to treatment. ...
Phys.org / Black hole mergers test the limits of general relativity
General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from rotational frame dragging ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis and tobacco use linked to smaller brain volume
Cannabis and tobacco—whether used on their own or together—can affect the brain's structure. A recent study involving systematic review and meta-analysis of more than 103 studies found that both substances are linked to reduced ...
Medical Xpress / Premature and small births are linked to lifelong learning problems
Being born early or at a lower weight is linked to lower IQ scores and poorer educational outcomes in school and beyond, according to a new study published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers from the UK and the Netherlands ...
Phys.org / Ancient predator species discovered in South Africa challenges what we know about gorgonopsians
In a study published in The Anatomical Record, researchers have identified a new species of large-bodied gorgonopsian from the middle Permian. The discovery pushed back the known origins of when these apex predators began ...
