Phys.org / Late scientist's notebooks help finish study of rare 55-million-year-old tarpon fossil
Recently-revealed notebooks belonging to a late paleontologist contain the missing information needed to help researchers finish their study of a remarkable fossil discovered nearly three decades ago.
Medical Xpress / Light-sensing genes may connect three childhood tumor types
Research uncovering the origin of pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain tumor, has also revealed a dependency across multiple brain tumor types that share a similar molecular program. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research ...
Phys.org / Discovery of natural mechanism behind ferroptosis solves longstanding puzzle in cell biology
After more than a decade of research, scientists have discovered the natural mechanism behind a novel form of cell death called ferroptosis. The work, described in the current issue of Cell, points toward an entirely new ...
Phys.org / Why conversation is more like a dance than an exchange of words
Think about the last time you told a story to a friend. You probably adjusted it halfway through. You saw their eyebrows lift. You noticed them lean in, or glance away. You clarified a detail. You sped up the ending. That ...
Phys.org / Tracing extracellular vesicles' journey from cancer cells to urine
Cancer cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) can travel from distant tumors through the bloodstream and kidneys and be excreted into urine, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo. Using sophisticated molecular ...
Phys.org / Fluorescent imaging reveals how a global parasite develops, opening new paths for drug treatment
It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the parasite difficult for scientists to study. That parasite is Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread organism that infects humans and animals. ...
Tech Xplore / China's 10-passenger electric aircraft, the Matrix, hints at how big flying taxis can be
A glimpse of what the future of flying taxis might look like can be seen in this southeastern Chinese city.
Phys.org / Using individual atoms to achieve fossil-free chemistry
Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In many cases, this energy barrier is low—such as when striking a match. For many key reactions ...
Tech Xplore / How hawks slip through tight gaps: A flight stability trick drones could copy
Birds have an ability to fly through obstacles by shifting their shape in flight, which is difficult to reproduce in uncrewed aerial vehicles, commonly known as UAVs or drones. A new study from researchers at the University ...
Phys.org / Elephants avoid humans far more than baboons, waterbucks or antelopes
Wild animal species respond very differently to human development, and as a result, they use ecological corridors in agricultural and urban areas in distinct ways. This emerges from research in Botswana by ecologist Marlee ...
Phys.org / Chemists rapidly assemble fusicoccadiene, a complex fungal molecule tied to cancer research
A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug therapies based on the molecule's ...
Medical Xpress / Feeling stressed? These immune cells might be key to understanding why
There are many ways that the human body responds to stress, from the adrenaline rush of the "fight-or-flight" instinct to more subtle, complex changes that may not be immediately recognizable to us.
