Phys.org / Scientists catch classical space-time crystals moving like Majorana quasiparticles
A research team from Hiroshima University, the University of Colorado, and other collaborators have demonstrated that space-time crystals—exotic structures that, under external drive, loop endlessly through both space and ...
Phys.org / Economic and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture vary widely across farms and regions
Regenerative agriculture can deliver both economic and environmental benefits for European farmers, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) concludes in the research project Regenomics. Whether these benefits are actually ...
Medical Xpress / How high cholesterol dismantles the liver's defenses—and how a new drug could combat it
Cholesterol-related heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and while doctors have more tools than ever to treat it, many patients still can't achieve safe cholesterol levels or can't tolerate the side ...
Tech Xplore / China's EV boom shifts power emissions to poorer cities, limiting climate gains
The carbon-reduction benefits of electric vehicles vary across cities in China, as richer cities can transfer much of their carbon emissions from power generation to less developed cities, burdening them with additional costs, ...
Phys.org / Contagious cancer likely crossed an ocean, triggering severe outbreak in Pacific Northwest clams
Researchers have identified a severe outbreak of a rare contagious cancer in soft-shell clams in Washington state's Puget Sound and found evidence that the disease was recently introduced to the Pacific Northwest from Atlantic ...

Phys.org / Synthetic DNA toolkit expands scientists' ability to recognize genetic targets
A new method for recognizing and targeting DNA that dramatically expands the range of genetic sequences scientists can identify has been developed by experts at the University of Portsmouth. Published this week in Nature ...
Phys.org / By making key signaling molecules called β-arrestins into druggable targets, scientists crack long-standing challenge
To function normally, nearly every cell in the human body relies on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to receive and send signals. That's why GPCRs are targeted by roughly one-third of all FDA-approved drugs.
Phys.org / Europe's extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say
The record-breaking heat that's scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Out of darkness, blind Mexican cavefish illuminate brain evolution
Deep within the dark caves of northeastern Mexico lives a fish that has spent hundreds of thousands of years adapting to a world without light. The blind Mexican cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) has evolved in perpetual darkness, ...
