Medical Xpress / Younger adults with lung cancer more likely to have targetable genetic changes, study finds
Younger adults with non-small cell lung cancer are significantly more likely than older patients to have genetic alterations that can be matched with targeted therapies, according to a large international study led in part ...
Medical Xpress / West Nile virus reported in 12 European countries: EU health agency
Twelve countries in Europe have reported locally acquired cases of West Nile virus so far this year, the EU health agency said Friday, urging the continent to boost its control efforts.
Tech Xplore / Turning once-troublesome protons into an energy storage resource for batteries
A research team led by Sarah S. Park from the Department of Chemistry (KAIST) has developed a new electrode material that sequentially stores zinc ions (Zn²⁺) and protons in aqueous batteries. The material is based on a two-dimensional ...
Medical Xpress / Super-resolution microscopy reveals how a cancer drug triggers cellular breakdown
Cancer drugs are often designed to block specific molecular targets, but what happens after they enter a cell is not always well understood. A new study published in Biophotonics Discovery demonstrates how advanced imaging ...
Phys.org / Too much RNA can starve cells of energy, study finds
A new study from researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) has uncovered a previously unknown consequence of viral infection: Too much RNA inside a cell can disrupt its ability ...
Tech Xplore / People are more likely to ditch the car and use an e‑bike if they feel confident and safe
Finally, Australians are being encouraged to swap four wheels for two. Governments are investing in cycling infrastructure, and calls for e-bike subsidies are growing louder.
Phys.org / A 100-year-old mystery in the cat kidney may be linked to scent communication
Many animals obtain information about others from scent marks left in the environment, including urine. Because these marks remain after the sender has left, they allow animals to communicate across space and time. But odor ...
Phys.org / Unlocking Gondwana's 120-million-year archive: Karoo record refines timing of extinctions and climate upheavals
A new review led by professor Emese Bordy at the University of Cape Town (UCT) Department of Geological Sciences brings together more than two decades of research on the Karoo Supergroup, revealing how scientific understanding ...
Phys.org / Physicists predict a new form of quantum matter that holds itself together
Researchers at Monash University have predicted a new type of quantum matter that challenges decades of thinking about how ultracold particles behave. The paper, "Quantum droplets in a resonant Bose-Fermi mixture," is published ...
Phys.org / AI screens 100,000+ membrane combinations, predicting carbon capture performance within seconds
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and energy production remains one of the major technological challenges in addressing climate change. Membrane-based gas separation offers an energy-efficient alternative ...
Phys.org / Giant crocodylians dominated the food chain in Miocene South America, fossil evidence suggests
South America was a frightening place during the Miocene. More than 10 million years ago, a vast lake covered much of the continent, home to giant turtles and crocodylians.
Phys.org / China is launching a moon mission to find water ice
We've known for nearly two decades that some form of water exists on the moon. What we still don't know is exactly how much accessible water ice lies inside permanently shadowed craters, how deeply it is buried or what form ...
