Phys.org / World's largest particle smasher halts for upgrade to boost hunt for dark matter
The world's most powerful particle accelerator will shutter operations Monday for four years of renovations to dramatically boost its collision capacity and the potential for unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of the ...
Phys.org / Light-activated compound kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria by turning its own defense enzyme against it
Antibiotic resistance is becoming an accelerating crisis because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics over many years. The problem is exacerbated when antibiotics wipe out susceptible bacteria but leave resistant bacteria ...
Phys.org / 'Fingerprints' of black hole's event horizon detected for first time
Scientists have detected the "fingerprints" of a black hole's event horizon—the boundary from which nothing can escape—for the first time, according to research published Wednesday.
Phys.org / Climate warnings need to be told in tangible ways to prevent disaster
England is sweltering under a red heat health alert and could see its hottest June day on record. In North America, football fans and players are suffering, with a quarter of this summer's World Cup matches forecast to be ...
Medical Xpress / Efforts to end school vaccine mandates hit a wall in Florida
Every state, along with Washington, D.C., requires children to obtain certain vaccinations before they can attend school or childcare These mandates date back decades, and many public health experts consider them a foundational ...
Phys.org / What science tells us about the algae bloom in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
Algal blooms in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., have long been a visible public nuisance. When the pool turned green again on June 15, less than two weeks after President Donald Trump's US$14 million ...
Phys.org / Giraffes combine quantities similarly to addition
In addition to humans, some species of primates and birds have demonstrated under experimental conditions their ability to manipulate quantities in tasks that require combining or separating them, in a manner similar to addition ...
Medical Xpress / Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways
The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science ...
Medical Xpress / Routine eye exams reveal stage 2 hypertension in half of diabetes patients
Diabetes opens people to other noncommunicable diseases like obesity, retinopathy and cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and hypertension. A recent study by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine ...
Phys.org / Giant exoplanet may hold a magnetic grip on its host star
Within their planetary systems, stars are continuously shaping their orbiting planets through gravity, radiation and magnetic forces. So far, this relationship has appeared to be a one-way street.
Phys.org / Why nanoscale droplets don't coalesce and microscale droplets do
Olive oil and water do not naturally mix. Water molecules are polar, having a net electric dipole moment due to the bend angle of about 104.5° between the two oxygen-hydrogen bonds. Olive oil is nonpolar due to its long hydrocarbon ...
Science X / Built-in 'antenna' may help cells sense a healing spark to guide repair after injury
When skin is wounded, it doesn't just send out chemical distress signals; it also generates a subtle electrical field. This "electric beacon" forms as the usual voltage across the tissue collapses, creating a guiding current ...
