Phys.org / First microlasers capable of detecting individual molecules and ions could one day aid diagnosis
Scientists have created the first microlasers capable of detecting individual molecules and even single atomic ions, a breakthrough that could significantly advance early disease diagnosis and molecular-scale medical testing. ...
Phys.org / If the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion happened today, aviation radiation exposure would be radically altered
Earth's magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the Laschamps excursion ...
Tech Xplore / UK must improve energy efficiency to prevent future energy crises, study argues
As prices rise and the UK Government considers energy bill help once again, a new study warns that the country's approach to energy support is structurally geared toward short-term crisis response rather than long-term solutions.
Phys.org / Topological solitons power a chip-scale frequency comb source
Caltech scientists have developed a new way to produce optical frequency combs—important tools in devices that keep time and measure distances very precisely—at the chip scale, an advance that should make it easier to incorporate ...
Phys.org / Agricultural soils exposed to controversial weedkiller may be unexpected breeding ground for hospital 'superbugs'
Each year, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is responsible for an estimated 1.1 to 1.4 million deaths worldwide. Now, scientists have found evidence that the spread of AMR isn't always driven by bacteria evolving to resist ...
Medical Xpress / Previously unrecognized immune response could enhance defense against cancer
In a paradigm-breaking study, researchers have discovered a novel way the immune system, specifically T cells, attack their target cells, reshaping long-held assumptions in immunology and demonstrating direct implications ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists call out health-harming corporations driving rise in chronic disease
Chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurocognitive disorders and infertility are rising globally, with health-harming products such as fossil fuels, tobacco, ultra-processed foods, toxic chemicals, plastics and alcohol ...
Medical Xpress / New WHO guidance aims to speed tuberculosis testing
The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging countries to move faster to detect and treat one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases: tuberculosis (TB).
Tech Xplore / Mach 1.5 tests reveal noise feedback loops from supersonic jets
Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, or FCAAP, are helping to solve a safety challenge in military aviation: the extreme noise generated by supersonic jets ...
Medical Xpress / Why do some viruses linger for life? A 900,000-person study maps viral loads
Some viruses that make us sick are cleared by the immune system within days, while others lurk in our bodies for a lifetime and reemerge later to cause new problems. How and why viral levels in the body change over time—and ...
Medical Xpress / How inflammation may prime the gut for cancer
Chronic inflammation can raise a person's risk of cancer, and a new study reveals key details about how that might happen in the gut and points to better ways to identify and reduce risk. Scientists at the Broad Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Tumor DNA circulating in patients' blood after pre-surgery treatments predicts whether breast cancer will return
Fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream of patients with breast cancer can predict whether they are likely to relapse, especially when samples are taken after the patients have received treatments prior to surgery. ...
