Phys.org / Camels find unlikely home in outback Australia
Far from their origins in the Arabian desert, hundreds of thousands of camels roam outback Australia, where they are used for wild races, an alternative milk source and even to make beer.
Phys.org / Sizing errors can hide true nanoparticle behavior
Nanoscience, which studies small objects, has a big problem. According to a team of scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the field confronts a pervasive data analysis error that can give ...
Medical Xpress / Erectile dysfunction drug used to treat enlarged prostate symptoms may raise glaucoma risk
An erectile dysfunction drug that is also used to treat symptoms, such as sudden urgency and frequency, associated with an enlarged prostate in men may heighten the risk of glaucoma, a serious eye condition, a large comparative ...
Medical Xpress / First complete marmoset genome will enable research on Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases
To study complex diseases like Alzheimer's, scientists and clinicians analyze how genes change and malfunction in other species. Marmosets, a species of tiny monkey from South America, have become an important animal model ...
Medical Xpress / Map of tonsil's genetic 'spaghetti' yields insights into immunity
About 2 meters (6.6 feet) of genetic material must fit into the nucleus of each of most of our trillions of cells, coiling and winding to form what looks like a tangled mess. But when genes are used, how they are used and ...
Medical Xpress / A new drug that can potentially overcome cancer therapy resistance
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed a drug called CS18 that disrupts cancer cells' ability to survive therapy. The findings, published in Science Advances, support exploring the possibility of using CS18 ...
Phys.org / Long-term study suggests landfill methane emissions are far higher than estimates
Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas, causing much more warming than carbon dioxide on a unit-for-unit basis—and a new, uniquely long-term study of emissions at a New Jersey landfill suggests that estimates of methane ...
Medical Xpress / Mental health workers may hold negative beliefs about people who misuse opioids

A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College ...
Phys.org / Attosecond X-ray method maps early electron motions that trigger chemical reactions
All chemistry starts with a push from electrons. In the early moments of a chemical reaction, it's the movement of electrons that initiates the breaking of old chemical bonds and forging of new ones, transforming one molecule ...
