Phys.org / Giant jars, ancient bells, buried bones and a mystery that endures
Helping to preserve artifacts, some potentially 2,000 years old, was an irresistible privilege. Since 2016, an Australian-Lao team led by Louise Shewan, Dougald O'Reilly and Thonglith Luangkhoth has conducted archaeological ...
Medical Xpress / CAR-T therapy drives remission in patient with three autoimmune diseases
For the first time, scientists have used a modern cell therapy called CAR-T to treat a patient with three different life-threatening autoimmune diseases that had resisted years of treatment. The patient, who once required ...
Phys.org / African swine fever: A novel model assesses transmission between domestic pigs and wild boar
African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most devastating diseases affecting domestic pigs and wild boars worldwide. Since its introduction into Europe, this deadly virus has spread widely, threatening pig production and causing ...
Phys.org / With drones, geophysics and artificial intelligence, researchers prepare to do battle against land mines
When Jasper Baur was a freshman at New York's Binghamton University, his interests centered on earth sciences. Then he got involved in a seemingly unrelated pursuit: harnessing drone-mounted geophysical instruments to aid ...
Medical Xpress / Smartwatches could predict risk of hospitalization due to heart failure
Paula Vanderpluym's smartwatch may look like a small part of her wardrobe, but to a team of researchers in Toronto, it represents something bigger: the potential to proactively care for people living with heart failure. A ...
Phys.org / How an internal plant 'thermostat' guides root growth in unpredictable temperatures
Plants can't move to escape the heat like humans can; they are forced to adapt. As temperatures fluctuate, one key survival strategy is the ability of roots to keep growing, allowing plants to access water and nutrients farther ...
Phys.org / Early humans in South Africa were quarrying stone as far back as 220,000 years ago
As long as 220,000 years ago—far earlier than previously thought—people quarried rocks for their tools in places they specifically sought out. An international research team led by the University of Tübingen has demonstrated ...
Phys.org / New AI method flags fluid flow tipping points before simulations break down
David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to detect sudden changes in fluid behavior, improving speed and the cost of identifying these instabilities ...
Phys.org / From bias to balance: How AI can reshape hiring decisions
A study of HR professionals shows inclusion-focused AI can reduce disability discrimination and improve fairness in real-world recruitment scenarios. Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organizations hire. From ...
Medical Xpress / Reprogramming regulatory T cells could help immunotherapy work in pancreatic cancer
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a key reason why immunotherapy has largely failed in pancreatic cancer—and identified a promising strategy to overcome that resistance. The study, published ...
Phys.org / New spider species in the Amazon mimics parasitic fungus
An international research team, including the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), has described a new species of spider from the Ecuadorian Amazon: Taczanowskia waska. The species is characterized ...
Phys.org / A smarter way to build vaccines: Scientists harness AI to target emerging alphaviruses
A team of scientists at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), led by Nikos Vasilakis, Ph.D., and Peter McCaffrey, MD, has developed a new computational pipeline that could dramatically accelerate the development ...
