Phys.org / Fewer insects, fewer nutritious crops: Pollinator decline puts human health at risk
Biodiversity loss is directly threatening human health and welfare, according to new research led by the University of Bristol. The study, published in Nature reveals, for the first time, how the decline of insect pollinators ...
Phys.org / Twisting atom-thin materials reveals new way to save computing energy
A recent study shows a new and potentially more energy-efficient way for information to be transmitted inside electronic systems, including computers and phones—without relying on electric currents or external magnetic fields.
Tech Xplore / Fiber-optic sensor reads strain through electrical signals, skipping optical analyzers
Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The approach uses a polymer ...
Medical Xpress / Health authorities work to contain cruise ship hantavirus outbreak
The MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship with a deadly outbreak of hantavirus, was on its way to the Canary Islands on May 7, 2026, after evacuating three ill passengers for treatment.
Phys.org / Love hormone enters battle mode, exposing rivalry and group lines in Amazon study
The "love hormone" oxytocin (OT) plays a role not only in moments of intimacy but also in competitive situations. Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have shown that OT levels increase when rivalry or clearly defined ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists program materials just by spinning them
There is something universally appealing about the slap bracelet, and the way a simple tap causes it to switch between a straight shape and a curled one. What you probably didn't know is that a slap bracelet's satisfying ...
Medical Xpress / Technology receives FDA approval for breast cancer treatment
More than a decade ago, Yale chemist Craig Crews founded a biotechnology company in New Haven based on his pioneering research into PROTACs (or PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera), a technology that treats certain types of cancer ...
Phys.org / Genetic 'bonus material' boosts gut bacterium's oxygen tolerance up to 1,000-fold
The bacterium Segatella copri is one of the most common inhabitants of the human gut. In their latest study, researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) have discovered that some strains of this bacterial ...
Tech Xplore / Majority voting method provides a smarter way to catch software bugs
Researchers from The University of Osaka, Kyushu University, and the University of Victoria have developed a new method called Majority Voting SZZ (MV-SZZ) that accurately identifies defect-inducing software commits. By combining ...
Science X / An ancient quantum machine controls our immune system—and researchers just discovered how it works
Our immune system is much older than we think. Long before dinosaurs existed, early life forms had developed a powerful defense system. Innate immunity has existed since the Cambrian period—that is, since the time when almost ...
Phys.org / Space junk falls to Earth faster when sunspots peak, reshaping satellite collision forecasts
Solar emissions exert 'drag' on space junk orbiting Earth. From historical measurements across a period of 36 years, researchers have now shown that space junk begins to fall down much faster once the sun's activity across ...
Phys.org / Time-varying magnetic fields can engineer exotic quantum matter
Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, quantum technologies are ...
