Medical Xpress / Former tobacco executive takes CDC role
A new hire at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is drawing backlash from public health experts who worry about his influence in the industry.
Medical Xpress / Hidden mosquito viruses emerge as RNA immune signals map global infections
Aedes aegypti, commonly known as the yellow fever mosquito, is a highly adapted, invasive mosquito species recognized as a major global health threat that acts as the primary vector for several severe diseases, most notably ...
Phys.org / A long-sought quantum computing milestone arrives as fermionic atom gates top 99% accuracy
Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought milestone in quantum computing where logic operations are performed through the direct physical overlap ...
Tech Xplore / China's top AI players
China's artificial intelligence boom is in full swing, with the release of a new large language model (LLM) by top startup DeepSeek on Friday highlighting the country's rapid progress despite U.S. export restrictions on advanced ...
Phys.org / What wild honey from the Philippine jungle reveals about biodiversity
In the Philippines, Indigenous communities have been harvesting wild honey for centuries. A new chemical analysis of this honey now provides insights into the biodiversity of the region. "And an additional reason to protect ...
Phys.org / Put a nanodiamond under intense pressure and it becomes flexible
Diamond is among the hardest naturally occurring substances on Earth, but if you shrink it down to the nanoscale, it is surprisingly elastic. And that could be useful for a host of applications such as quantum computing. ...
Phys.org / Can jarrah forests be recovered after bauxite mining?
In February, mining company Alcoa was hit with a $55 million penalty for illegally clearing about 2,000 hectares of WA's Northern Jarrah Forest. About $40 million was earmarked for so-called "permanent ecological offsets," ...
Phys.org / Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites
A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on ...
Phys.org / Chicken gene-editing advance opens path to drug-producing eggs
Chicken eggs are already used to harvest helpful proteins called antibodies to protect humans from viruses such as influenza. Now, a breakthrough at the University of Missouri could one day lead to chickens that produce other ...
Phys.org / These 'good' viruses hold up a booming industry—AI just found a faster way to track them
Researchers have developed a new methodology that uses artificial intelligence tools to identify and count target viruses more efficiently than previous techniques. The new approach can be used in applications such as pharmaceutical ...
Phys.org / What's that swirly pattern? It's a moiré, and it has potential power
Just as wave-like patterns can appear on a computer screen when pixels do not align, new research led by Flinders University is investigating atomic-scale "moiré patterns" in the promising field of ferroelectricity. The new ...
Tech Xplore / Fusion power may never be cost-competitive with renewables, study warns
Fusion power plants are sites at which electricity could be generated via a process known as nuclear fusion, which entails the merging of two atomic nuclei into a single heavier nucleus. This process is known to generate ...
