Phys.org / NASA's LRO images Falcon 9 crater on moon, learns new details
Between Aug. 11–12, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured a series of images of a new crater on the moon. The crater formed Aug. 5, when a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impacted the surface following its Jan. 2025 ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Shackled men in 2,600-year-old Greek mass graves were likely locals, archaeologists find
In 2016, archaeologists working at the Phaleron Burial Ground, part of the ancient Attica region, uncovered an astonishing sight: three mass graves dating to the 7th and 6th centuries BCE containing the skeletons of 79 adult ...
Phys.org / New lipid nanoparticle delivers capped circular RNA for longer-lasting gene expression
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan in collaboration with FUJIFILM have developed a novel way of delivering circular RNA (cirRNA) into cells, paving the way for longer-lasting mRNA-based therapeutics including cancer ...
Phys.org / Strain flips Hall signal in altermagnetic manganese telluride, suggesting a path to practical spintronics
Time-reversal symmetry is an exotic behavior found in systems whose internal physics looks different when running forward versus backward in time. For some time, physicists have searched for this behavior in systems with ...
Phys.org / First pair of feeding supermassive black holes found in a Green Pea galaxy
Astronomers have discovered the first confirmed dual active galactic nucleus in a Green Pea galaxy, revealing two supermassive black holes growing at the same time inside a compact, intensely star-forming system. X-ray observations ...
Medical Xpress / Chemotherapy-free treatment shows promise for some patients with metastatic breast cancer
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that a chemotherapy-free combination of four targeted therapies showed encouraging results in patients with HR-positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, ...
Medical Xpress / Want to join a clinical trial? Distance, insurance and hidden costs can stand in the way
Connecting people with clinical trials is complicated—even if people identify a promising match, there's a slew of potentially thorny factors, including geographic incompatibility and financial and time considerations.
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 / T cells ditch exhaustion marker to escape tumors and protect against cancer relapse
As the immune system battles cancer, chronic stimulation gradually drives T cells to a state of exhaustion. But some of these exhausted T cells can lose expression of the exhaustion marker LAG3, move out of the tumor and ...
Medical Xpress / Why do we get sleepy? How neurons control sleep drive
Why does staying awake inevitably make us sleepy? Researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have identified neuronal populations in the brains of mice that become activated during prolonged wakefulness and are ...
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 ...
