Medical Xpress / Bacterial toxin can counteract colorectal cancer growth
A toxin secreted by cholera bacteria can inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer without causing any measurable damage to the body. This is shown by a new study by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden. Systemic administration ...
Phys.org / Type Ia supernova delayed-detonation model supported by SN 2024gy observations
A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with domestic and international partners, has carried out observational studies on SN 2024gy—a high-velocity Type ...
Phys.org / When 'no-effect' isn't safe: Safe chemicals turn toxic in combination across generations
Researchers at National Taiwan University reveal that combined exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and the preservative butylparaben, at a level considered safe on their own, can cause heritable harm, disrupting reproduction ...
Tech Xplore / AI and high-throughput testing reveal stability limits in organic redox flow batteries
In numerous scientific fields, high-throughput experimentation methods combined with artificial intelligence (AI) show great promise to accelerate innovation and scientific discovery.
Phys.org / Frozen hydrogen cyanide 'cobwebs' offer clues to origin of life
A substance poisonous to humans—hydrogen cyanide—may have helped create the seeds of life on Earth. At cold temperatures, hydrogen cyanide forms crystals. And, according to computer models reported in ACS Central Science, ...
Tech Xplore / At Detroit auto show, spotlight dims for EVs
At the North American International Auto Show, tires squeal as gearheads put shiny new vehicles through their paces on a pair of indoor tracks that sprawl across the event space. One of those tracks used to be set aside exclusively ...
Medical Xpress / Specialized clinic visits reverse population weight gain in statewide pilot test
For years, endocrinologist Leigh Perreault, MD, felt there had to be a better way to help patients with weight management than sending them home with advice to change their diet and increase their exercise.
Tech Xplore / Your voice gives away valuable personal information—expert raises privacy concerns
You can probably quickly tell from a friend's tone of voice whether they're feeling happy or sad, energetic or exhausted. Computers can already do a similar analysis, and soon they'll be able to extract a lot more information. ...
