Tech Xplore / Fiber-optic sensor reads strain through electrical signals, skipping optical analyzers
Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The approach uses a polymer ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies new strategy to overcome immunotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to overcome resistance to immunotherapy in colorectal cancer, one of the leading ...
Tech Xplore / Your conversations with AI may not be as private as you think
A study conducted by researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute has revealed that ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Grok, and Perplexity AI use different types of trackers from Meta, Google, TikTok and other companies, potentially ...
Science X / Your social feed hides a loneliness trap, and the people you barely know are at the center
A first-of-its-kind study of U.S. adults suggests that all of those strangers you're friends with on social media are not helping you to feel less lonely. On the contrary, social media connection with people you don't know ...
Medical Xpress / Health authorities work to contain cruise ship hantavirus outbreak
The MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship with a deadly outbreak of hantavirus, was on its way to the Canary Islands on May 7, 2026, after evacuating three ill passengers for treatment.
Phys.org / Life with one less: Engineered bacteria break the 20-amino-acid rule
One of life's many mysteries is how it ended up choosing only a set of 20 amino acids to build proteins for its wide catalog of organisms, from single-celled bacteria to behemoth whales. From a chemical standpoint, many of ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-based index may reveal Alzheimer's risk patterns in adults as young as 30
Over the past few decades, neuroscientists and medical researchers worldwide have been trying to leverage available health records, brain scans and other medical data to uncover biological markers associated with the onset ...
Phys.org / Colored microplastics could be making global warming worse
There's more bad news about microplastics. We already know they pose a risk to health and can pollute ecosystems, but now researchers have discovered that tiny plastic particles drifting in Earth's atmosphere could be a significant ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they have an abnormal number of chromosomes
A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers has found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they have an abnormal number of chromosomes, the DNA strands wound up in bundles that control which genetic ...
Tech Xplore / Cooling without pumps: New measurement data for modular reactors
Passive cooling systems for nuclear power plants operate without pumps or electricity: They rely solely on physical effects such as density differences to dissipate heat. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have ...
Phys.org / Dark proteome yields 1,785 new microproteins that could reshape disease research
Scientists have uncovered more than 1,700 new proteins that could have implications for human diseases, including cancer. Mostly very small, these proteins were found in what's called the "dark proteome," which covers gene ...
Phys.org / How evolution sculpts the facial shapes of birds and mammals
Shapes of beaks and snouts come in an extraordinary range of forms, reflecting adaptations to different lifestyles and environments. Yet beneath this diversity lies a paradox: across birds and mammals, faces are built using ...
