Medical Xpress / Scalable sensors lower the cost of studying genetic disorders
Researchers have demonstrated a new class of low-cost, scalable sensors that can be used to monitor electrical activity in human cerebral organoids. Because electrical signals are key to understanding brain function, this ...
Phys.org / Scientists solve 40-year-old biological mystery behind sleeping sickness
To survive in the human bloodstream, the African trypanosome parasite wears a "cloak" made of proteins known as a variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The study, published in Nature Microbiology, identifies the protein that ...
Phys.org / Can planes evacuate in 90 seconds? New simulations show the safest cabin layout
In case of an emergency, the Federal Aviation Administration requires aircraft to be able to evacuate within 90 seconds. However, as the median age of the global population increases, the growing number of elderly airline ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose leukemia drug can clear senescent fat cells and cut inflammation
In collaboration with researchers in South Korea, a team from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) has discovered a promising therapeutic target in fat tissue that improves cellular function, reduces inflammation, and ...
Medical Xpress / Study links low birthweight to increased stroke risk in young adults, independent of BMI and gestational age
In new research to be presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May), researchers show an increased risk of stroke in young adulthood for children of low birthweight, independent ...
Phys.org / Study examines diversity of Black perspectives on race relations
A new Rice University study offers one of the first national measures of a viewpoint called "racial realism" and considers how it fits into the broader spectrum of perspectives Black Americans hold about race relations.
Tech Xplore / Photothermal fabric panels could cut heating energy up to 23%
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have unveiled a tool to combat climate change, fossil-fuel dependency, skyrocketing home-heating bills, and gentrification all at once—a simple fabric treated with a ...
Tech Xplore / New memory chip survives temperatures hotter than lava
The electronics inside your phone, your car, and every satellite currently orbiting Earth share one critical weakness: heat. Push them past about 200 degrees Celsius and they start to fail. For decades, that thermal ceiling ...
Medical Xpress / A stiff defense: Physical rigidity of healthy gum tissue found to shield against chronic periodontal inflammation
Periodontitis is a serious chronic inflammatory form of gum disease that affects millions worldwide. It can lead to tooth loss and the destruction of supporting bone. This disease has also been linked to other health problems, ...
Phys.org / Quantum twisting microscope reveals electron-electron interactions in graphene at room temperature
An international team of researchers built a highly sensitive quantum microscope and used it to directly observe, for the first time at room temperature, how electrons subtly interact with each other in graphene—confirming ...
Medical Xpress / Pesticides and cancer: Study reveals the biological mechanisms behind an environmental health risk
A new study, published in Nature Health, reveals a strong link between exposure to agricultural pesticides in the environment and the risk of developing cancer. By combining environmental data, a nationwide cancer registry, ...
Phys.org / Map shows scale of ecosystem disturbance across Australia
University of Queensland researchers are urging governments to use newly created national data to protect the country's last remaining ecosystems free of human pressures. The two new datasets map the extent of ecosystem disturbance ...
