Medical Xpress / Fungus threatens food and human health, researchers argue
A looming public health crisis may be spreading from Britain's fields to its hospitals, experts—which include University of Manchester scientists—have warned—with common farm chemicals potentially fueling deadly infections.
Phys.org / Billions face growing water risk as sediment fills reservoirs faster than expected worldwide
Reservoirs around the world are losing storage capacity at an average rate of 7.3% per decade—disproportionately affecting small reservoirs, which together provide water to billions of people. The data come from a study published ...
Phys.org / AI brews a caffeine-powered safety switch for future cell therapies
For many of us, a warm cup of coffee is how we start our day. For Texas A&M Health researchers, it may also offer a new way to control engineered cells in future medicines.
Phys.org / JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May ...
Medical Xpress / One wrong mouse swap exposes how social learning shapes future choices
Humans and other animals can learn new skills and behaviors from others they interact with. This process, referred to as social learning, has been widely investigated in the past, particularly in the context of responses ...
Phys.org / Deep-Earth seismic anomalies may be explained by newly discovered manganese compound
Scientists know that manganese, in its various oxide forms, plays a significant role in Earth's geochemical cycles. However, the exact forms of manganese, their abundance and the mechanisms behind these cycles that occur ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea discovery uncovers new family of copepods near Greenland
An international research team, including Dr. Nancy Mercado Salas from the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), has described a new family of copepods (Copepoda). The discovery was made at a depth ...
Phys.org / Passive AI use at work increases feelings of work meaninglessness, study finds
Approximately 88% of organizations around the world implemented artificial intelligence (AI) into at least one business function by the end of 2025, the latest McKinsey Global Survey on the state of AI found. Despite promised ...
Phys.org / Black teachers improve outcomes for all students, but the profession remains largely white
Having Black teachers and other educators of color improves students' classroom experiences, research shows. They often serve as role models, set high academic expectations and teach material that connects to students' lives ...
Phys.org / Magnetic field helps binary star systems form, new simulations indicate
New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the characteristics of the binary star systems observed ...
Phys.org / AI-generated compounds hit specific cell types and outperform conventional screening
The classical drug discovery paradigm begins with a known molecular target: a protein whose modulation is expected to reverse the course of a disease. However, in many pathologies, such a target does not always exist or is ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Why are white-Black marriage rates so low?
Americans rarely marry outside of their race or class in a nation where residential segregation is relatively common. It is a dynamic widely viewed as a contributing factor to income inequality and intergenerational social ...
