Phys.org / Physics of foam strangely resembles AI training
Foams are everywhere: soap suds, shaving cream, whipped toppings and food emulsions like mayonnaise. For decades, scientists believed that foams behave like glass, their microscopic components trapped in static, disordered ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar structures on kidney cells predict immune therapy response, study finds
Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These antibodies activate the immune system and enable T cells to detect and destroy tumor cells.
Medical Xpress / Can biology reveal parental manipulation?
Parental alienation is when one parent manipulates the child into distancing themselves from the other parent. But does this leave detectable biological evidence?
Phys.org / Analyzing Darwin's specimens without opening 200-year-old jars
Scientists have successfully analyzed Charles Darwin's original specimens from his HMS Beagle voyage (1831 to 1836) to the Galapagos Islands.
Medical Xpress / Can teens use social media too little for their own good? Maybe, study says
There appears to be a "Goldilocks zone" when it comes to social media use among teenagers.
Phys.org / Lack of coordination is leaving modern slavery victims and survivors vulnerable, say experts
Researchers at The University of Manchester are calling for stronger, coordinated partnerships to tackle modern slavery and human trafficking, warning that gaps between organizations risk leaving victims and survivors without ...
Phys.org / How dark asteroids die
Back in the earlier days of the internet, there was a viral video from a creator called Bill Wurtz called "the history of the entire world, i guess" which spawned a number of memorable memes, some of which are still in use ...
Phys.org / Greening school playgrounds can improve quality of life in cities and help deal with climate change
Adapting urban spaces to tackle climate change through nature-based solutions, especially in school playgrounds and environments, benefits both children and society as a whole. This is one of the main findings of a three-year ...
Phys.org / Rethinking climate impacts through human well-being
A new study by IIASA researchers offers a pioneering way to understand how climate change affects people's lives over the long term. Using a global model and the Years of Good Life (YoGL) metric, the research shows that today's ...
Phys.org / Historic ocean treaty to safeguard and sustainably use the high seas to take effect on Jan. 17
Oregon State University research into marine protected areas plays a crucial role in the historic High Seas Treaty that goes into effect Jan. 17.
Phys.org / Why don't antibiotic-making bacteria self-destruct?
Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The molecule, called lariocidin, is produced by the microbe Paenibacillus and shows broad activity against ...
Phys.org / Quantum simulator reveals how vibrations steer energy flow in molecules
Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and track how energy moves within it. The work, published Dec. 5 in Nature Communications, could improve ...
