In a world first, scientists led by a team from Stanford University have created 16 viable viruses that do not exist in nature and were designed by AI. Their experiment, which is published in Science, could help in the fight ...
Science X / A baby's lungs may begin responding to vitamin D sooner than scientists once thought
Many pregnant women around the world are low in vitamin D. This is a very common issue that has prompted inquiries over the years. It is believed that low levels in pregnant women can cause harm to fetal development. Currently, ...
Phys.org / Slow spin could explain why planets become hellish
Hundreds of Venus-like planets could soon help determine why some worlds become sweltering greenhouse hellscapes while others remain capable of supporting life. But before answering that question, scientists first need to ...
Phys.org / 'Lying mirror' uses structured surfaces to conceal optical information
Mirrors normally reveal what is placed in front of them, even when their curvature distorts a reflection. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have introduced a different optical concept: a "lying ...
Phys.org / Monsoon cooling helps Great Barrier Reef coral cover hold steady after bleaching

Medical Xpress / Prostate cancer prognosis linked to prostate-specific antigen levels below threshold
After treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, a drop in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in the blood is an indicator that treatment is working. A recent real-world study indicates that reaching a PSA level below ...
Phys.org / Urban canals can cut temperatures by more than 2°C during heat waves
New research from The University of Manchester has found that urban canals can cool their immediate surroundings by more than 2°C during heat waves.
Phys.org / NASA mission maps invisible heat loss from Earth's rapidly changing poles
At the top and bottom of the planet, the seasons arrive on a schedule all their own. Satellite data from a mission measuring infrared energy reveal just how differently—and how dramatically—surface temperatures swing across ...
Medical Xpress / Different inflammatory processes tied to the same Alzheimer's disease-related brain shrinkage and memory loss
Alzheimer's disease may look similar from one person to another even when different biological processes are driving the damage, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
Medical Xpress / Real-world study provides new insights into safety of new Alzheimer's drug lecanemab
As new Alzheimer's drugs move from clinical trials into everyday care, families are asking whether these treatments are safe, how long patients can stay on them and whether they truly slow the disease outside tightly controlled ...
