Researchers at the University of Bamberg have traced a darkly intricate form of narcissism in sexually motivated male serial killers, reporting that many offenders combine brittle sensitivity with a craving for admiration ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metamaterial can morph into more configurations than there are atoms in the universe
The Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent maTErials (We-Xite) lab, led by engineering assistant professor Osama R. Bilal, has developed a reconfigurable metamaterial that can control sound waves—bending them, dampening ...
Phys.org / New microprotein can help cancer cells overcome stress
In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acid Research, a research team at Karolinska Institutet has performed a large-scale genetic screen to uncover the hidden roles of tiny proteins, so-called microproteins.
Medical Xpress / How a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function
Scientists have discovered how a mitochondrial mutation rewires immune function in a model of inherited primary mitochondrial disorders, which often lead to severe disability and death. They have discovered that this single ...
Medical Xpress / New federal loan caps could disrupt the medical field
Researchers from the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute have produced the first national estimate of how many medical students would be affected by new federal loan restrictions imposed by the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill ...
Medical Xpress / Expanding seasonal immunization access could minimize off-season RSV epidemics
Providing year-round access to RSV immunization would minimize the risk of large seasonal outbreaks across the nation, including in both urban and rural areas.
Medical Xpress / Daily coffee drinking may slow biological aging of people with major mental illness
Drinking a maximum of 3–4 cups of coffee a day may slow the "biological" aging of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres—indicators of cellular aging—and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra ...
Phys.org / New deep-learning tool can tell if salmon is wild or farmed
A paper published in Biology Methods and Protocols, finds that it is now possible to distinguish wild from farmed salmon using deep learning, potentially greatly improving strategies for environmental protection. The paper ...
Medical Xpress / Dual mechanisms drive rapid eye dominance plasticity in the adult brain, study reveals
Studies have shown that even a few hours of monocular deprivation can markedly improve the visual function of the deprived eye in adults. However, the underlying neural mechanisms of this ocular dominance plasticity remain ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps brain wiring differences in youth with autism

Medical Xpress / A simple neck scan could detect men at high risk of heart failure
A simple neck scan can identify men with double the risk of heart failure, according to research led by University College London.
Phys.org / From inhibition to destruction: Kinase drugs found to trigger protein degradation
Protein kinases are the molecular switches of the cell. They control growth, division, communication, and survival by attaching phosphate groups to other proteins. When these switches are stuck in the "on" position, they ...
