Phys.org / Mountain lions have major ecological impact even in small preserves
Big cats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other ...
Phys.org / NASA mission to study space weather impacts of Earth's atmosphere
NASA selected a mission concept to research how space weather and dynamics within Earth's atmosphere influence the space environment and help improve prediction capabilities for impacts on crucial technology, such as GPS ...
Phys.org / Small forest fragments can protect more birds when the surrounding landscape is more helpful
Larger areas contain more species. This is one of the most ironclad laws of ecology, which explains why large natural areas usually receive higher priority in conservation strategies. In fragmented landscapes, this logic ...
Phys.org / Drug-free nanoparticles stop tumor growth by transmitting biological messages to immune cells
A research team from the Technion's Wolfson Faculty of Chemical Engineering has developed an original technology for treating cancer using nanoparticles that carry no drugs at all and has demonstrated its effectiveness against ...
Medical Xpress / MAP1B reveals unexpected role for cytoskeletal proteins in brain development
The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics may worsen fatty liver disease, new study suggests
Microplastics—minuscule pieces of plastic broken down from larger plastic waste—are a growing concern for human health, especially for the liver. A study from the University of Oklahoma, published in Science Advances, demonstrates ...
Medical Xpress / Global clinical trial reveals safest, most effective antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections
An international clinical trial has identified the optimal antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections, a breakthrough set to reshape treatment for the life-threatening condition. The SNAP Trial found that the standard ...
Medical Xpress / AI screens 6 million compounds to uncover two leads against drug-resistant gonorrhea
With tens of millions of annual cases, gonorrhea is the second most frequently reported sexually transmitted infection (STI). In the U.S. alone, more than 600,000 cases are reported each year. If left untreated, gonorrhea ...
Phys.org / Floating litter extends over Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US
A study led by researchers from the Smithsonian Institution and the UB reveals that reducing single-use plastic is essential for protecting coastal ecosystems. Floating litter has also invaded Chesapeake Bay, the largest ...
Phys.org / Helios quantum computer tops 99.9% fidelity rates for one- and two-qubit operations
A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department of Energy's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems large and reliable enough to solve ...
Medical Xpress / Could a once-a-day pill replace weight loss injections? Phase II oral GLP-1 drug trial shows promising results
For those scared of needles but who need GLP-1 receptor agonists to help manage their weight, there might be some good news. Researchers are testing a new oral, small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist called Elecoglipron, which ...
Phys.org / Molecular fossils reveal secrets of Earth's recovery from ancient global warming event
Scientists have uncovered new evidence from one of Earth's most extreme ancient warming events, revealing how the climate may recover long after human-driven CO2 emissions cease.
