Tech Xplore / 3D-printed speaker cover can focus audio into a private 'sound spot'
Music lovers may one day be able to blast their favorite artists, headphone-free, without angering the neighborhood or colleagues, thanks to researchers at Penn State. The team designed a system that can manipulate sound ...
Phys.org / Multiplexed method reveals protein energy landscapes across 10 domain families
Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new experimental method to analyze conformational fluctuations in protein domains on a uniquely large scale, which may improve data-driven modeling, biology and protein engineering, ...
Phys.org / Why some antibiotics fail in the body—pH conditions can dramatically change how bacteria respond
When researchers test whether an antibiotic will work, they usually do so in a controlled laboratory environment. But when an infection happens inside the human body, things aren't so clean and tidy. New research from the ...
Phys.org / Bees found an unlikely new food source, and it could reshape how a destructive forest disease travels
New research published in NeoBiota has found that the Western honey bee—an introduced species to Australia—and the devastating, invasive plant fungus known as myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) may have formed a mutually ...
Phys.org / 129,000 years of crocodiles: What we know about Australasia's ancient apex predators
The sight of a saltwater crocodile basking on a mudbank is one of the most iconic and intimidating images of northern Australia. Yet the crocodiles that inhabit the region today are just the survivors of a much richer and ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop AI model that maps how genes work together in human cells
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps reveal how genes function together inside human cells, offering a powerful new way to understand biology ...
Phys.org / Do you know how cynical your friends are?
New research from Michigan State University finds that people often project their own levels of cynicism—the belief that people are only interested in themselves and aren't sincere—onto their friends and consistently underestimate ...
Phys.org / Cell-by-cell sodium mapping reveals astrocytes are far less uniform than believed
The element sodium plays a key role in nervous system function. An international research team headed by the Institute of Neurobiology at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has now conducted a closer examination of ...
Medical Xpress / AI atlas reveals hidden whole-body-damage caused by obesity
Obesity affects far more than metabolism and fat storage. It alters immune activity, nerve structure, and tissue organization across multiple organ systems, increasing the risk of diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular ...
Phys.org / Macrocyclic host molecules observed working together on a surface
A collaborative research team from Kanazawa University and Kyoto University reports the successful visualization of how densely assembled macrocyclic host molecules cooperatively capture guest molecules on a surface. Using ...
Phys.org / Wildfire risk is now spreading to cool climates like the Scottish Highlands and Irish uplands
The most destructive wildfire season on record in Europe was in 2025, with more than 1 million hectares burned and tens of thousands of people displaced by fires across the continent.
Medical Xpress / The bigger the reward, the faster we learn, researchers find
Scientists long assumed that learning speed depends primarily on our experience—how many times we try and succeed—not the size of the reward. We become better at poker because we keep playing and winning, regardless of the ...
