Medical Xpress / Maternal RSV vaccination and infant nirsevimab immunization found safe and effective
Maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination and infant nirsevimab immunization, administered alone or sequentially, are safe and effective, according to a study published online May 4 in Pediatrics.
Phys.org / 'Re-meandered' rivers can slow flows while widening wildlife habitat
A major river restoration project in Cumbria has shown that reconnecting rivers to their floodplains can slow the movement of water and improve habitats. Research led by Newcastle University and the National Trust found that ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis leads US microdosing, with 24.1 million adults reporting lifetime use
Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that microdosing—taking very small amounts of psychoactive substances—is more common among U.S. adults than previously recognized, with cannabis leading by a ...
Phys.org / Western music is getting simpler and more repetitive by the day and data prove it
Ever had that moment when a song comes on and it feels strangely familiar, like it reminds you of another song that came out just a few months ago? If you feel this phenomenon has become more frequent, then you are not imagining ...
Dialog / Research finds under-24s illegally targeted by Dutch gambling ads
The Netherlands prohibits gambling advertising from targeting young people under age 24. Using Meta's ad library, we found a minority of ads published by both online (7.3%) and offline (29.8%) Dutch gambling licensees that ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking a cellular inflammation process could result in effective therapy for pancreatic cancer
Scientists at The Wistar Institute and clinical researchers from ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute have discovered a vulnerability in pancreatic cancer that could be targeted as a potential ...
Phys.org / Arctic winter sea-ice extent fails to expand and sets a new record low in 2026
In 2026, the Arctic winter sea-ice extent (annual maximum extent) reached the lowest value since satellite observations began in 1979, following the previous record low in March 2025. As part of the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability ...
Phys.org / New imaging method maps reversed DNA replication forks in single cells
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that quantitatively detects and maps reversed DNA replication forks with single-cell resolution. The ...
Phys.org / A flower-like pattern exposes chiral superconductivity's long-sought fingerprint
With a carefully designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville's physicists have found a long-sought form of superconductivity, taking one more step toward creating custom quantum materials.
Phys.org / Rising seas may unlock coastal carbon stores, with losses up to 90%
Rising sea levels could do more than flood coastlines. Research from Missouri University of Science and Technology shows they may also trigger the release of large amounts of carbon stored in coastal ecosystems into the atmosphere.
Phys.org / Open-source, 3D-printed platform enables low-cost, standardized electrocatalytic research
A problem for researchers has been a lack of an agreed-upon standard gas diffusion electrode reactor to enable robust comparison of catalytic reactions. Instead, the common practice is to compare the performance of a new ...
Phys.org / Wars destroy lives and the climate. Why aren't we counting military emissions?
When delegates gathered for COP30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025, they scrutinized various sectors of the global economy for their contributions to rising greenhouse gases. Agriculture, aviation, steel, cement—all were ...
