Phys.org / U.S. Indigenous peoples experience higher rates of fatal police violence in and around reservations
Indigenous people in the United States are at higher risk of fatal police violence in and around American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) reservations, according to the first comprehensive national study on the subject from researchers ...
Phys.org / Deep ocean microbes may already be prepared to tackle climate change
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
Phys.org / Physical activity is linked to the health of the planet, according to a trio of recent studies
Global levels of physical activity have not improved over the past two decades, despite widespread policy development and adoption, and large disparities persist across gender and socioeconomic groups. The findings from three ...
Phys.org / Gene edit makes probiotic safer for immunocompromised patients
An international team of researchers has modified a probiotic yeast to make it safer for use by immunocompromised people, older adults and infants. Testing in an animal model found that the modified yeast is less likely to ...
Medical Xpress / Long-read genome sequencing uncovers new autism gene variants
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an emerging approach that reads ...
Phys.org / Nanosecond light-by-light switching achieved in liquid crystal droplet
Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability would allow optical signals to be processed without converting them into electrical signals, potentially ...
Phys.org / Robotic microfluidic platform brings AI to lipid nanoparticle design
AI has designed candidate drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections and genetic diseases. But efforts to incorporate AI into the design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary delivery vehicles behind mRNA therapies ...
Phys.org / Multi-wavelength observations track bright gamma-ray blazar's three-year cycle
By analyzing the data from various space observatories and ground-based telescopes, European astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of a bright gamma-ray blazar known as S5 1044+71. The new study, published Feb. ...
Phys.org / CRISPR-based technique unlocks healing power of mitochondria for heart failure therapy
After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a result—a condition that impacts 6.8 million Americans and carries a high lifetime risk, with 1 in ...
Phys.org / Antarctic sea ice rebounds in 2026, nearing average after four years
Antarctic sea ice coverage has likely rebounded this year, coming closer to its annual summer average after four years of extreme lows, US scientists said Monday.
Phys.org / AI tool streamlines drug synthesis, dramatically reducing lab work and costs
Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better molecules consumes huge ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse study sheds light on how the brain recognizes stable patterns in changing scenes
Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding environment. This ability ...
