Medical Xpress / 'Origami' method could speed up diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease
Researchers have developed a technique that can identify errors caused by mutations linked to a range of genetic disorders, including forms of muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop AI model that maps how genes work together in human cells
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps reveal how genes function together inside human cells, offering a powerful new way to understand biology ...
Phys.org / Cell movement in the embryo: Zebrafish study shows that without keratin, nothing moves
Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they need to move together ...
Phys.org / India generates record power as demand surges in severe heat wave
India's power producers have set a record for electricity generation as swaths of the world's most populous nation swelters in an intense heat wave, the Ministry of Power said.

An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has spread to eastern South Kivu province in an area under the control of the Rwanda-backed M23 militia, the group's spokesman said Thursday, heightening fears of the ...
Phys.org / Uncovering the link between epigenetic modifications and chromatin structure
Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes are expressed in different ...
Phys.org / Less low cloud cover lets in more heat from the sun—and may lock in centuries of sea level rise
According to NOAA, the global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. The rate at which the sea level is rising is increasing, threatening coastal cities and ecosystems around the world.
Phys.org / When noisy decision-making becomes a strategic advantage
A new study shows that apparently erratic or "sloppy" behavior in strategic situations is not necessarily a mistake. Under certain conditions, being less sensitive to one's own gains can become a long-term advantage.
Phys.org / Do you know how cynical your friends are?
New research from Michigan State University finds that people often project their own levels of cynicism—the belief that people are only interested in themselves and aren't sincere—onto their friends and consistently underestimate ...
Phys.org / With record-low snow, Colorado preps for wildfire onslaught
Larry Graves pulled up to a home tucked into a Colorado mountainside. His radio was crackling, as was the wildfire burning beyond the trees—it was time to move.
Tech Xplore / Holographic light engine boosts tissue-like 3D printing efficiency by 70 times
In 2025, EPFL scientists published an improved approach to tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM): a 3D printing method that uses laser light to harden a rotating vial of photosensitive resin into a desired ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone data predict smoking cravings and lapses, with potential to treat addiction and other conditions
Minuscule movement patterns collected from smartphones and often undetectable to humans have been used to predict cravings and compulsive behaviors with groundbreaking accuracy—potentially offering timely and bespoke treatment ...
