Medical Xpress / Tumors hijack macrophages after they clear dead cells, real-time tracking reveals
Researchers at Tel Aviv University's Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences have uncovered how a natural and essential immune system process can be hijacked to promote cancer progression. In a new study, the research ...
Phys.org / How to stop a mouse plague
The scenes are biblical. Tens of thousands of rodents scattering across canola fields, behind sheds, into machinery. River fish with bellies full of mice. Carcasses littering the street, the sidewalk, outside your home. In ...
Phys.org / NASA's Hubble spots star-spangled cosmic scene
More than 500,000 stars blaze red, white, and blue in this image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary. The image showcases Messier 3 (M3), one of the Milky Way ...
Medical Xpress / Experts offer advice on performing endurance events in excessive heat
As pro cycling teams have been preparing for the start of the Tour de France on Saturday, extreme heat has rolled across Western Europe, smashing temperature records, cracking infrastructure and taking a toll on the population.
Phys.org / Unexpected pathway turns water and CO₂ into climate‑neutral methane on nickel–zirconia
Natural gas still plays an important role in many industrial sectors, but it is a climate-damaging fossil fuel. TU Wien and the University of Innsbruck have now discovered an unexpected reaction pathway that makes it possible ...
Phys.org / The discovery of an ancient child's skull sheds light on the early prehistoric farmers of Norway
Researchers from the University of Bergen have uncovered the remains of a 4,000-year-old child in a cave site on Norway's west coast. "The find offers rare and important insight into the first agricultural population in Norway, ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer also knows how to wait: Study uncovers the hidden step between mutation and tumor biomass appearance
The development of cancer is not a process triggered immediately by the emergence of an oncogenic mutation. There is growing evidence for the existence of an intermediate phase—hitherto poorly defined—in which mutated cells ...
Tech Xplore / Data centers may emit 57% more CO₂ than expected in 2025, study finds
Data centers, whose expansion is being fueled dramatically by the artificial intelligence boom, have a far bigger carbon footprint than previously estimated, a study said Tuesday.
Phys.org / More colorful songbirds face higher extinction risk
In the humid jungle of Vietnam, Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela and Monte Neate-Clegg spent hours patiently waiting to spot the rare "Halloween bird." Officially known as the collared laughingthrush, this songbird has striking orange, ...
Phys.org / Fighting an emerging threat to strawberry crops
A few years ago, Austin Wrenn noticed something unsettling in his strawberry greenhouses at Wrenn's Farm in Zebulon, North Carolina. He was one of the first growers in the state to experience losses from an unexpected, aggressive ...
Phys.org / Primate brains might have evolved to 'catch up' with larger bodies, but then kept growing
A new analysis supports the previously overlooked "brain lag" hypothesis—the idea that, in some primate lineages, the evolution of larger body size preceded the evolution of larger brain size—while also building on that hypothesis ...
Phys.org / Beachcomber's find fuels whale study breakthrough
During his morning runs, Rod Keogh had no doubt that the whale poo he saw washed up on the beach had value. Science has finally caught up with him. Samples collected by the South Australian man have contributed to a groundbreaking ...
