Phys.org / Astronomers directly detect how turbulence between stars distorts light
Astronomers led by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) have made the first direct detection of turbulence distorting light in the interstellar medium. The findings will help scientists achieve clearer ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug shows promise for some patients with advanced prostate cancer
For men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapies, treatment options are limited—and time matters. As the disease progresses, the window for effective, less intensive treatments begins ...
Phys.org / Statistical technique could uncover secrets of 'ringing' black holes
Researchers have developed a technique to analyze how black holes "ring" when they collide and merge: one of the universe's most dramatic events. When black holes merge, the collision produces a new, larger black hole that ...
Phys.org / 3D atomic rearrangement creates 40,000 quantum defects in 40 minutes
It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are several techniques that ...
Phys.org / Researchers identify enzyme that prevents chromosome breaks during DNA copying
Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from breaking when cells copy damaged genetic material, a discovery that could affect how certain cancer ...
Science X / Alarm bells fade: One pregnancy vaccine raised fears, but its earliest real-world test tells a different story
Questions about the safety of the RSVpreF vaccine, designed to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for both mothers and babies during pregnancy have fueled considerable debate. One of the key concerns ...
Phys.org / From molecules to meaning: A search engine developed for the chemistry of life
An international team led by researchers at University of California San Diego and University of California, Riverside has developed a free, web-based platform designed to make public metabolomics data more accessible. By ...
Phys.org / Rising seasonal sea-level swings are under-reported, but could have a major impact
Sea levels are rising not only on average, but also in their seasonal fluctuations. This is a lesser-known trend that could have major consequences for mudflats, salt marshes and other coastal ecosystems. Researchers from ...
Medical Xpress / The newborn vitamin K shot: What every parent needs to know
When a baby is born, hospital staff move quickly through a standard checklist of newborn care: taking measurements, administering antibiotic eye ointment to prevent eye infections, and giving a small injection of vitamin ...
Phys.org / NASA draws on industry for Mars telecommunications network
On Thursday, NASA issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), seeking industry collaboration for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
Tech Xplore / Direct CO₂-to-gasoline process reaches 50 kilograms per day in pilot plant
A Korean research team has successfully developed a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline and naphtha, achieving pilot-scale production of 50 kg per day.
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods are not all created equal, and new guidance could reshape school lunches and food rules
A new report underscores the significant variations in healthfulness of different types of processed foods. The report, released by Healthy Eating Research (HER), recommends that "healthy" ultra-processed foods be exempt ...
