Phys.org / How the sun's galactic journey and superflare-filled youth shaped Earth's climate
At the center of our solar system, the sun influences every planet that orbits it. In two recent studies, scientists uncovered how ancient events in the sun's history may have helped create Earth's unique climate and driven ...
Phys.org / High magnetic fields revive superconductivity in nickelates
Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS), in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States, have uncovered that a class of nickel-based materials known as samarium (Sm)-based infinite-layer ...
Medical Xpress / How pregnancy itself drives deadly hepatitis E outcomes
Researchers have uncovered a biological mechanism that helps explain why hepatitis E virus infections can be especially severe—and often fatal—during pregnancy, finding that normal pregnancy-related hormonal changes inadvertently ...
Medical Xpress / Extreme heat linked to 33 diagnoses that go beyond dehydration and heatstroke
When temperatures spike, emergency physicians expect to see more cases of dehydration and heatstroke. But a new Northwestern University study suggests that extreme heat also is linked to a much wider range of health problems ...
Phys.org / Heat makes emergency rooms busier. Study shows which illness and injuries rise during hot spells
When the temperature heats up, so do emergency rooms, according to a massive study of Chicago hospital and urgent care records, which found increased accidental gunshot wounds, kidney complaints, skin problems, varicose veins ...
Medical Xpress / New mRNA immunotherapy eliminates pancreatic tumors in mice
Inspired by the work of the RNA Therapeutics Institute at UMass Chan Medical School and the development of the COVID vaccine, Marcus Ruscetti, Ph.D., and Chaitanya Naimesh Parikh, Ph.D. '26, have developed an immunotherapy ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents are all the rage—but research shows they leak private data
Before you prompt AI to answer another question or perform another task, a Wake Forest computer scientist wants you to know it could expose your sensitive data.
Medical Xpress / How much the immune system sees may shape how well we fight infections
Why does the same infection cause only mild symptoms in one person but more serious disease in another? A new study led by the HUN-REN BRC Szeged Momentum Systems Immunology Research Group, together with several international ...
Phys.org / Tiny atomic changes could lead to smarter wireless technology
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown that making extremely small changes to the structure of a material can dramatically improve its ability to respond to electrical signals. Published recently in Science ...
Phys.org / When fruits and veggies are scarce, monkeys hunt for meat
Capuchin monkeys hunt prey when fruits and vegetables become scarce, potentially mirroring the habits of human ancestors, according to a study published in PLOS One by Susana Carvalho (Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique), ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticles induce neuroregeneration in Alzheimer's disease models
The adult human brain has limited capacity to repair or regenerate neurons lost to Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia. Existing treatments can slow disease progression but do not reverse cognitive decline. ...
Phys.org / Bat DNA adaptations may connect virus defense, longevity and cancer resistance
Bats are anomalies in the mammalian world—they fly, have long lifespans and rarely get cancer. Scientists now suspect the bat immune system enables them to live longer without disease, according to a new study published today ...
