Phys.org / Atomic-level simulations reveal rotational mechanism behind a critical biomolecular motor
The way a key cellular motor works at an atomic level has been uncovered by simulations conducted by RIKEN biophysicists. This finding, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides important ...
Phys.org / Can you trust a finding? A new project maps which studies replicate
Findings from the Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence (SCORE) program—a collaborative effort involving 865 researchers—have been published in Nature as a collection of three papers alongside a release of ...
Phys.org / Wildfires accelerate winter snowmelt in Oregon's western Cascades, study finds
The Pacific Northwest has seen below-normal snow this season—and new research from Portland State University suggests that the region's snowmelt-dependent water resources could face growing challenges in the years ahead as ...
Phys.org / Ghost bat dialects emerge across colonies, study suggests
Accents are usually thought of as a human trait, indicating where a person has grown up or the communities they belong—and new research shows the same dialects can also occur in Australia's largest carnivorous bat.
Medical Xpress / Household cleaning products remain a leading source of child injury, study finds
Researchers from the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital have found more than an estimated 240,800 visits to U.S. emergency departments (EDs) associated with household cleaning product-related ...
Phys.org / A new way to detect breakthroughs in science: Large-scale analysis reveals 'disruptive' innovations in research history
The history of science and technology is marked by major breakthroughs—the theory of evolution, the splitting of the atom, the development of antibiotics—and a research team including faculty at Binghamton University, State ...
Medical Xpress / Lung cancer surgery safe for many patients over 80, study finds
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center have found that adults aged 80 and older with early-stage lung cancer can safely undergo surgery and achieve outcomes comparable ...
Phys.org / A rare 'triple-double' radio galaxy discovered using MeerKAT
Astronomers have discovered an exceptionally rare radio galaxy that has three distinct pairs of radio lobes. This system falls into a subpopulation of radio galaxies known as "triple-double" radio galaxies (TDRGs). Located ...
Phys.org / Framework unifies the classical and quantum Mpemba effects
Physicists have developed a new theoretical framework which unifies a wide array of seemingly unrelated "Mpemba effects": counterintuitive cases where systems driven further from equilibrium relax faster than those closer ...
Medical Xpress / New research investigates cancer survivors' 'symptom burden'
A declaration of remission doesn't mean a cancer patient's illness is fully gone. Many cancer survivors face lingering symptoms that lead to both physical discomfort and mental strain. Even though there are some commonalities, ...
Phys.org / NASA fuels rocket to launch astronauts on the first lunar trip in half a century
NASA fueled its moon rocket Wednesday for humanity's first lunar trip in more than half a century, aiming for an evening liftoff with four astronauts.
Tech Xplore / Q&A: A better design of social media platforms instead of blanket bans for young people
US courts have ruled against platform providers for failing to protect children, and the debate over age restrictions for social media has gained momentum. An international group of experts from academia, children's rights ...
