Phys.org / Dolphin mass strandings in Patagonia linked to killer whales
In 2021 and 2023, hundreds of dolphins were stranded in shallow waters in San Antonio Bay in northern Patagonia. Some died, but many were returned safely to the sea. But what remained a mystery until now was how they ended ...
Phys.org / How we turned plastic waste into vinegar: A sunlight‑powered breakthrough
Plastic is one of the most durable materials humans have ever made. That durability has made it indispensable in medicine, food packaging and transport. But it's also created one of the defining environmental problems we ...
Phys.org / Real-time protein quality control keeps cells healthy
Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting "handshakes" between newly made proteins and the cellular helpers. These short interactions are important ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps three biological routes for gastric cancer beyond H. pylori
A study in Gut shows that gastric cancer is shaped by complex interactions between environmental exposure, microbes, host, and tumor biology. The findings reveal distinct cancer routes and targets linked to prognosis and ...
Medical Xpress / How vitamin B2 could pave the way to new cancer therapies
The human body cannot produce vitamin B2—also known as riboflavin—itself; it must absorb the important substance through diet. The vitamin can be found in dairy products, eggs, meat and green vegetables. The metabolism ...
Phys.org / Failed experiment leads to surprise drug development breakthrough
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than toxic chemicals—a discovery that could accelerate and improve how medicines are designed and made. ...
Tech Xplore / Sulfide coating boosts lithium-ion battery lifespan past 1,000 cycles
Among the biggest complaints inhibiting growth in the electric vehicle market is the limited lifespan and range of lithium-ion batteries. Consumers fear being stranded far from home with long wait times at recharging stations. ...
Phys.org / Flash heating upcycles waste glass into SiC nanowires in seconds
Engineering silicon carbide (SiC) with tailored morphologies for electronics and structural reinforcement materials has always been a costly and time-consuming affair, but scientists can now do it in a flash. A new study ...
Medical Xpress / Study: Additional radiation for liver cancer does not increase toxicity
New research from a University of Cincinnati Cancer Center study found external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is safe to administer to patients with liver cancer even after they undergo a targeted internal radiation therapy ...
Phys.org / NASA's tiny spacecraft sends first exoplanet images
With the first images from the spacecraft now in hand, the team behind NASA's Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, is ready to begin charting the energetic lives of the galaxy's most common stars to help answer ...
Phys.org / 'Peculiar' crocodile ancestor started life on four legs before learning to walk on two
A "peculiar" ancient relative of the crocodile which experts believe began life on four legs before, in adulthood, it learned how to walk on just two has been revealed in a new study. Named Sonselasuchus cedrus, this archaic ...
Phys.org / Bird losses are accelerating across North America, particularly in farming regions where agriculture is most intensive
Since the 1970s, the U.S. has lost billions of birds. We now know that those losses aren't just growing—they are accelerating in places with intensive human activity, particularly where agriculture and expanding communities ...
