Medical Xpress / What a new twins study reveals about genes, environment and longevity
Why do some people live to 100 while their sibling dies decades earlier? Is it luck, lifestyle, or something written into their DNA? Relative to many other species, humans are particularly long-lived, but there is an ongoing ...
Phys.org / The Amaterasu particle: Cosmic investigation traces its origin
Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It is the second-highest-energy ...
Tech Xplore / Dynamic digital product passports for short-shelf-life food and drink could cut waste and improve safety
Dynamic digital product passports—real-time, intelligent digital records that capture the true condition of perishable goods such as food and drink throughout their life cycle—could dramatically cut waste and improve ...
Medical Xpress / Saline nasal spray alone resolves sleep-disordered breathing in nearly one-third of children, study finds
Investigators based at Monash Children's Hospital and Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne report that a once-daily intranasal saline spray resolved obstructive sleep-disordered breathing symptoms in nearly one-third of children ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify two emerging animal viruses as potential global health threats
Infectious disease experts are sounding the alarm about two pathogens in animals that have the potential to trigger the next major health crisis.
Phys.org / NASA confirms first flight to ISS since medical evacuation
Four astronauts will blast off to re-staff the International Space Station (ISS) next week, NASA said Friday, after an emergency medical evacuation of the previous crew.
Phys.org / Weight-loss drugs are creating an environmental disaster—a new water-based method aims to change that
The world is in the middle of a peptide drug revolution. These short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—sit at the heart of some of the most successful medicines ever created, from weight-loss injections ...
Phys.org / Imaging the Wigner crystal state in a new type of quantum material
In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons. So far, the Wigner ...
Phys.org / When lasers cross: A brighter way to measure plasma
Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific understanding of how stars, nuclear detonations and fusion energy work. For decades, scientists have ...
Phys.org / How superconductivity arises: New insights from moiré materials
How exactly unconventional superconductivity arises is one of the central questions of modern solid-state physics. A new study published in the journal Nature provides crucial insights into this question. For the first time, ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool can read prostate MRIs to help decide who needs a biopsy
Diagnostic tools based on artificial intelligence are now making their way into Norwegian hospitals. AI can independently read X-ray images and detect bone fractures, or assess cancer tumors in both the breast and prostate. ...
Medical Xpress / RNA therapeutics shrink metastasized lung tumors in mouse study
A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating an immune response or ...
