Phys.org / Bizarre galactic radio source remains active for two decades with no detectable X-rays
Astronomers have identified a peculiar radio transient in the Milky Way that has remained active for more than two decades, defying the behavior expected of known classes of galactic radio sources. The paper posted to the ...
Phys.org / Experts offer advice in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, social media, misinformation
Brian Druker, M.D., has pretty much done it all as a pioneer in precision medicine. He developed a drug that turned chronic myeloid leukemia from a death sentence into a manageable condition; his discovery spurred the development ...
Phys.org / New bioinformatics tools help identify pathogenic variants in the genome
Structural variants and so-called tandem repeats are individual differences in the human genome. They are increasingly linked to diseases, but analyzing and interpreting them poses challenges for researchers.
Phys.org / Why do some chimpanzee mothers carry their dead infants for months?
Chimpanzee and bonobo mothers sometimes continue to carry their infants after they have died, a behavior known as infant corpse carrying (ICC). It is widely documented, and many explanations have been proposed, but few have ...
Medical Xpress / Study calls safety of some trauma blood transfusions into question
New research by a University of Rochester Medicine team suggests that a certain type of blood transfusion is not nearly as safe as the medical establishment believes.
Phys.org / Humans or AI? Who or what can scam you more effectively?
A text from your neighborhood gardening club friend Ben offering a deal on seeds might seem too specific to be a scam. But that kind of personalization is exactly what can make phishing messages convincing.
Phys.org / Aqueduct deposits suggest Plague of Cyprian may have emptied Nîmes around 270 A.D.
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have gleaned new insights into ancient water management in the French region around Nîmes by analyzing carbonate deposits within the Roman aqueduct that features the ...
Phys.org / Building big with DNA gets a software upgrade
Forty-four years ago, Nadrian Seeman published his groundbreaking ideas on using DNA as a structural material, expanding DNA's significance far beyond its role as a carrier of genetic information. Since then, the steadily ...
Phys.org / Mobile trap transports 92 antiprotons by road and stores them for over a month in world first
In March 2026, scientists succeeded in transporting antiprotons by road for the first time in a purpose-built trap loaded on a truck. The BASE collaboration, which realized this experiment at the European Organization for ...
Phys.org / Hot electrons reveal electronic collisions may raise resistance in twisted graphene
When a material heats up, its electrical resistance often rises. The harder question is what, exactly, is getting in the way. The electrons carrying the current may be scattered by vibrations of the material's atomic lattice, ...
Phys.org / SpaceX prepares for first orbital flight of Starship rocket
SpaceX announced Tuesday that it was planning to send its flagship rocket, Starship, into orbit, a key step in its project to one day reach the moon or Mars.
Phys.org / Prime assembly can correct multiple mutations at once, pointing toward universal gene therapies
Genomic editing holds great potential yet continues to have limitations. Current methods either rely on untargeted gene delivery or short DNA edits that need to be individualized for each patient. A new paper published today ...
