Medical Xpress / 'Ready-made' T-cell gene therapy tackles 'incurable' T-cell leukemia
A new treatment using genome-edited immune cells, developed by scientists at UCL (University College London) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), has shown promising results in helping children and adults fight a rare ...
Phys.org / The 'hobbits' mysteriously disappeared 50,000 years ago. Our new study reveals what happened to their home
About 50,000 years ago, humanity lost one of its last surviving hominin cousins, Homo floresiensis (also known as "the hobbit" thanks to its small stature). The cause of its disappearance, after more than a million years ...
Tech Xplore / Blue jean dye could make batteries greener
Sustainability is often described in shades of green, but the future of clean energy may also carry a hint of deep blue. Electric vehicles and energy storage systems could soon draw power from a familiar pigment found in ...
Phys.org / Unbee-lievable: Botswana elephants not easily fooled as scientists seek solution to human-elephant conflict
In Botswana, coexisting with the country's 130,000 elephants can be a daily negotiation. For rural families, tending a crop means hoping these "gentle giants" don't wander through and cause damage while searching for food ...
Phys.org / Sum-frequency microscope can image an invisible 2D material
Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible ...
Phys.org / New model describes how reaction-diffusion networks develop 'foams'
For numerous fundamental processes of life, the formation of certain protein patterns is essential. Protein pattern formation controlled by molecular switches is—like many processes in nature—far removed from a state ...
Phys.org / NYC congestion pricing cuts air pollution by 22% in Manhattan, study finds
Since New York City introduced congestion pricing in January 2025, the state has heralded significant reductions in traffic and rush hour delays, fewer crashes and noise complaints, and toll revenue projected to hit $500 ...
Medical Xpress / Health impacts related to 'forever chemicals' linked to billions in economic losses
The negative health impacts from contamination by so-called forever chemicals in drinking water costs the contiguous U.S. at least $8 billion a year in social costs, a University of Arizona-led study has found.
Phys.org / Parasitic fungus may have emerged 18 million years before the ants with which it lives today
A genus of fungi previously considered a parasite of fungi associated with ants may actually have much more complex ecological functions. According to a study published in the journal Communications Biology, one piece of ...
Phys.org / Electrons stay put in layers of mismatched 'quantum Legos'
Electrons can be elusive, but Cornell researchers using a new computational method can now account for where they go—or don't go—in certain layered materials.
Phys.org / A geometric recipe for stabilizing atomically thin metals
Metallenes are atomically thin metals whose unique properties make them extremely promising for nanoscale applications. However, their extreme thinness makes them also flimsy.
Tech Xplore / Silicon chips on the brain: Researchers develop new generation of brain-computer interface
A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and blindness—helping to manage seizures ...
