Phys.org / New monitor now operational in the Large Hadron Collider
A novel beam diagnostic instrument developed by researchers in the University of Liverpool's QUASAR Group has been approved for use in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator.
Phys.org / Fake survey answers from AI could quietly sway election predictions
Public opinion polls and other surveys rely on data to understand human behavior. New research from Dartmouth reveals that artificial intelligence can now corrupt public opinion surveys at scale—passing every quality check, ...
Medical Xpress / Reviving exhausted immune cells boosts tumor elimination
A new study has discovered a molecular signal that tumors exploit to exhaust the T cells meant to destroy them—and how silencing that signal could revive the body's immunity.
Medical Xpress / Medications change our gut microbiome in predictable ways, research reveals
Our gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria and other microbes living in our intestines. These help our bodies break down food, assist our immune system, send chemical signals to our brain, and potentially serve ...
Phys.org / Ultracold potassium-cesium molecules assembled in absolute ground state
Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and cesium atoms cooled almost to absolute zero ...
Phys.org / Lethal dose of plastics for ocean wildlife: Surprisingly small amounts can kill seabirds, sea turtles and marine mammals
By studying more than 10,000 necropsies, researchers now know how much plastic it takes to kill seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals, and the lethal dose is much smaller than you might think. Their new study titled "A ...
Phys.org / Delaying net zero may mean centuries of hotter, longer, more frequent heat waves
We must prepare for a future of frequent, deadly heat waves, which will worsen in severity the longer it takes to reach net zero, new research has shown.
Medical Xpress / Next-generation microbiome medicine may transform Parkinson's treatment
The age-old advice to "trust your gut" could soon take on new meaning for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, thanks to a creative feat of bioengineering by researchers in the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary ...
Tech Xplore / Two-step flash Joule heating method recovers lithium‑ion battery materials quickly and cleanly
A research team at Rice University led by James Tour has developed a two-step flash Joule heating-chlorination and oxidation (FJH-ClO) process that rapidly separates lithium and transition metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify two key targets of common cold virus
Scientists were pleased when they learned more about how the common cold gains a foothold in the body, identifying key cellular checkpoints that are important targets of the virus.
Phys.org / Astronomers reveal flat 'Diamond Ring' in Cygnus X is a burst bubble remnant
An international team led by researchers from the University of Cologne has solved the mystery of an extraordinary phenomenon known as the "Diamond Ring" in the star-forming region Cygnus X, a huge, ring-shaped structure ...
Phys.org / Lethal aggression among chimpanzees tied to larger territories and higher infant survival
The Ngogo chimpanzees of Uganda's Kibale National Park have long been known for violent clashes with neighboring groups, often resulting in deaths—a phenomenon sometimes described as "chimpanzee warfare."
