Phys.org / What are misfluencers and what can be done about false information online?
Misleading information online is often treated as a technical glitch, something that better algorithms or stricter moderation can fix. But research points to a more complex reality. That is, the rise of "misfluencers," individuals ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable knee robot could help children with muscle weakness
A lightweight robotic device that facilitates neuromuscular recovery in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), helping them to stand unassisted, is published in Nature this week. Improved function persists after discontinuing ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers discover novel IT attacks—the defense mechanism is already operational
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Information Security have developed a new security standard to counter a novel form of cyberattack—one they had previously identified themselves. The attacks specifically ...
Medical Xpress / Implantable tech could cast new light on bladder cancer treatment
A new implantable device which aims to maximize the effectiveness of light-sensitive drugs could improve outcomes for bladder cancer patients in the future. Engineers and cancer scientists from the University of Glasgow are ...
Phys.org / Fertilizer: The forgotten history linking the agricultural commodity and empire in wartime
Fertilizers are not just an agricultural input: they are a strategic resource hidden at the center of geopolitical conflict. The US and Israel's war on Iran and the related disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz ...
Medical Xpress / Teen self‑harm: Responses should focus on social context, not just mental health
Around 1 in 6 adolescents worldwide report having self-harmed at some point in their lives. In England, an NHS mental health survey of 2,370 children and young people found that more than 1 in 3 young adults aged 17 to 24 ...
Medical Xpress / Why are young people's sleep and mental health so poor? Researchers point to 'vicious cycles'
Among the younger part of the population, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression are widespread and growing issues. But why are our sleep and mental health in such poor condition? And why does it seem so difficult to improve ...
Tech Xplore / Trump postpones signing artificial intelligence order out of concern it would hurt the AI industry
President Donald Trump called off a signing ceremony Thursday for a new order on artificial intelligence because he worried it could dull America's edge on AI technology.
Phys.org / Playing the entrepreneurial game can turn job loss into opportunity
In times of financial crisis, some people will roll the dice on starting a new venture to cope with the uncertainty of unemployment, say business researchers. In a new study in the Journal of Business Venturing, University ...

The 2CV, an iconic Citroen model popular for much of the twentieth century, will be coming back after production ceased in 1990, reincarnated as an electric vehicle, Citroen announced Thursday.
Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic collective flows like matter, adapting without centralized control
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link ...
