Phys.org / Engineered bacteria can consume tumors from the inside out
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the tumor, finding an environment ...
Phys.org / Tokyo Bay's night lights reveal hidden boundaries between species
A key characteristic of modern human society is rapid urbanization, a process that can reshape natural environments and disrupt the habitats of many organisms. One widespread byproduct of urbanization is artificial light ...
Phys.org / AI-powered platform accelerates discovery of new mRNA delivery materials
Integrating AI with advanced robotics to create self-driving labs (SDL) is a promising approach to tackling molecular discovery. A new SDL system, called LUMI-lab, combines large-scale molecular pretraining, active learning, ...
Phys.org / Enzymes work as 'Maxwell's demon' by using memory stored as motion
Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a central role in this process, accelerating reactions that would otherwise ...
Phys.org / AI develops easily understandable solutions for unusual experiments in quantum physics
Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics and presents them in a ...
Phys.org / Earth's mantle may have been cooler than thought before Pangea's breakup
When the supercontinent Pangea began to fragment around 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic, it reshaped the face of the planet. Vast new oceans opened, continents drifted apart and the familiar geography of today ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents have their own social network: Moltbook study tracks topics and toxicity
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, systems that learn to make predictions, generate content or tackle other tasks by analyzing large amounts of data, is becoming increasingly widespread. Some of these systems ...
Phys.org / Researchers challenge misleading language around plastic waste solutions
Solutions to the plastic waste crisis are often pitched using words that can skew value judgments, new research argues. The paper, authored by the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub at The University of Manchester, explores ...
Phys.org / Targeted climate policies are successfully cutting carbon, study shows
Countries with stricter and better-targeted climate policies cut carbon emissions faster, according to a major new study by researchers in the UK and EU. The study draws on the most comprehensive climate policy dataset ever ...
Phys.org / Shorter early-life telomere length could predict survival in Arctic seabirds
A study published in Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology reveals a surprising link between cellular aging markers and survival in black-legged kittiwakes (members of the gull family). In the work titled "Who's coming home? ...
Tech Xplore / Unlocking the 'urban mine': A path to US mineral sovereignty through e-waste
Inside America's junk drawers sits an untapped fortune, and a national and economic security solution. As the global race for critical minerals intensifies, University of Houston researchers have unveiled a breakthrough supply ...
Medical Xpress / Rare genetic variant protects against malaria-causing parasite by making red blood cells bigger
Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T reduces the activity ...
