Medical Xpress / Researchers identify molecule linked to treatment-resistant inflammatory bowel disease
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified an immune-regulating molecule that may help explain why some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, do not respond to commonly ...
Medical Xpress / Kids remember veggie scents from womb, study finds
Experiencing bitter or non-bitter flavors before birth can shape taste likes or dislikes after being born, according to new research led by the Durham University Department of Psychology. Researchers found that young children ...
Phys.org / 3D atomic rearrangement creates 40,000 quantum defects in 40 minutes
It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are several techniques that ...
Phys.org / Electrified route to epoxides could cut costs and pollution with common catalyst
When you hear the word "epoxide," what do you think? If anything, likely "glue." But epoxides are quite common in our everyday lives. You might be sitting on a foam seat cushion made from epoxides. There is a good chance ...
Medical Xpress / It's not just deep sleep: Anesthesia drives brain into a strange state doctors are only beginning to map
People often describe anesthesia as something that puts a patient in a "deep sleep." An anesthesiologist enters the operating room, and part of their mission is to ensure that the patient is completely unaware of what is ...
Phys.org / Fossil teeth from China uncover 400,000-year-old H. erectus ties to Denisovans
Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered new information suggesting a potential connection between Homo erectus and modern humans, ...
Phys.org / Torpedo bats may shift baseball's sweet spot, acoustic analysis shows
In the spring of 2025, baseball fans were treated to a surprise when the New York Yankees began the season with a unique style of bat. Termed "torpedo bats," these new designs tapered slightly toward the end, so the widest ...
Medical Xpress / New drug candidate that reprograms the immune system shows promise as a brain cancer treatment
A next-generation cancer therapy being developed at McMaster University has shown early promise as a treatment candidate for glioblastoma, the most aggressive and most common type of primary brain cancer in adults. In preclinical ...
Science X / Could striped wind turbines save millions of birds?
Wind energy is quickly becoming a key pillar in the fight against climate change, with its turbines rising like modern monuments to a greener future. Yet the rapid growth hides a dark side: the spinning blades that produce ...
Phys.org / Bright blazar reveals 433-day optical quasi-periodic oscillation across nine years
By analyzing the data from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT), an international team of astronomers has discovered optical quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in a bright quasar known as 3C 454.3. It is so far one of the ...
Phys.org / Precision DNA editing targets root cause of severe childhood epilepsy in preclinical study
Gene editing can repair a DNA error in mice that causes Dravet syndrome, a rare, incurable, and potentially deadly form of childhood epilepsy. After the edit, the mice have far fewer seizures and live much longer. As published ...
Tech Xplore / Adjusted heating process makes batteries last longer
To make batteries that last longer, scientists are creating internal battery structures that don't degrade as quickly as current designs do. In fact, the reason many lithium-ion batteries ultimately fail is that their cathodes, ...
