Phys.org / Discovery turns household plastic recycling into anti-cancer medication
A discovery led by the University of St Andrews has found a way to turn ordinary household plastic waste into the building block for anti-cancer drugs.
Phys.org / Long-standing puzzle of the Sadovskii vortex pair solved after nearly a half-century
A team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough by mathematically proving that a special type of vortex pair, called the Sadovskii vortex patch, can exist within ideal fluid flows. This marks ...
Phys.org / Meet NASA's Artemis Closeout Crew, tasked with securing astronauts in their spacecraft
For most, getting into a car is a task that can be done without assistance. Yet for those whose destination is the moon, the process of getting inside and secured—in this case, in NASA's Orion spacecraft—requires help. ...

With the International Space Station (ISS) set to retire in 2030, several nations and commercial space companies have plans to deploy their own successor stations. This includes China, which plans to double the size of its ...
Phys.org / Phage-resistant bacteria can still sink carbon to ocean floor
Marine bacteria are key to determining whether carbon is recycled near the ocean surface or transported to deeper waters, but many operate in constant threat of being infected by viruses called phages, and mutate to fend ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer's hidden 'safety switch': Silencing TAK1 gene could boost immunotherapy performance
Australian researchers have discovered that the TAK1 gene helps cancer cells survive attack from the immune system, revealing a mechanism that may limit the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatments.
Medical Xpress / Locally brewed alcohol and chewing tobacco drive 62% of mouth cancer cases in India, study suggests
Even a low daily intake of alcohol—just 9 g or around one standard drink—is linked to a 50% heightened risk of mouth (buccal mucosa) cancer in India, with the greatest risk associated with locally brewed alcohol, finds ...
Tech Xplore / Multi-agent AI could change everything—if researchers can figure out the risks
You might have seen headlines sounding the alarm about the safety of an emerging technology called agentic AI.
Phys.org / Nanoparticle vaccine strategy could protect against Ebola and other deadly filoviruses
Filoviruses get their name from the Latin word "filum," meaning thread—a reference to their long, filamentous shape. This virus family contains some of the most dangerous pathogens known to science, including Ebola, Sudan, ...
Tech Xplore / Machine learning helps robots see clearly in total darkness using infrared
From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of these environments lack natural or artificial light, making it difficult for robotic systems, which ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered Philippine pitcher plant already in danger from climate change and poaching
Philippine scientists and an Australian expert have just confirmed a new species of pitcher plant found only on Palawan Island, but warn that it is already at risk of extinction due to frequent severe weather conditions and ...
