Phys.org / How hidden viruses wake up inside seaweed and pass on to future generations
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have shown that giant viruses long thought to exist only as fleeting, free-living particles that can embed themselves permanently in the genome of a multicellular ...
Medical Xpress / Once-nightly pill treats causes of airway collapse to control obstructive sleep apnea in large clinical trial
A once-nightly oral pill helped control obstructive sleep apnea in a large, Phase III clinical trial presented at the 2026 ATS International Conference. The drug, called AD109, is the first therapy to treat OSA by addressing ...
Phys.org / How wasted infrared light could boost solar panels, night vision and 3D printing
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a nanoscale device that converts low-energy infrared and red light into higher-energy visible light, a breakthrough that could eventually improve solar panels, sensing technologies, ...
Phys.org / A smelly dog breath breakthrough: Plant-based spray tackles odor and harmful oral microbes
Pet owners love their dogs but may not always love the smell of their breath. Because this bad odor can signal oral disease, veterinary clinics will prescribe daily toothbrushing, antibiotics, or chemical rinses as treatment. ...
Tech Xplore / Should you accept internet cookies? Researchers say the open web could suffer without them
It's a choice you may face multiple times a day—and, at this point, your reaction is probably reflexive. Are you going to accept those internet cookies, reject them, or spend a little time customizing your settings?
Phys.org / This single mother must learn quickly—or her colony won't survive
Being a single mother of 20 is no joke, especially if the survival of a whole species depends on it. A queen bumblebee faces this very challenge when she lays her first eggs in the spring: She is utterly alone, with no worker ...
Medical Xpress / Nutrition support during pregnancy improves birth outcomes, global study finds
In parts of the world where daily nutrition is unstable, pregnancy and newborn health are more precarious. A recent study led by epidemiologist Dongqing Wang of the George Mason University College of Public Health adds to ...
