Medical Xpress / Women less likely than men to be offered active medical treatment for the same conditions
New research from the University of St Andrews has found that women are less likely than men with the same medical condition to be offered active management such as surgery, a stent or a strong painkiller.
Phys.org / AI reveals novel nighttime feeding behaviors in right whales
Right whales forage near the water's surface at night, putting them at greater risk of potentially fatal collisions with boats, Jay Kirkham at Dalhousie University, Canada, and colleagues report Sept. 16, 2026, in the journal ...
Phys.org / Sliding droplets point to charging mechanism beyond mobile ions
Whether on a windowpane at home or during the industrial cleaning of computer chips: droplets sliding over solid surfaces become electrically charged. Yet the physical mechanism behind this charging remains a subject of debate. ...
Phys.org / Predominantly online friendships linked to greater support for white nationalism
From social media to the streets of Washington, D.C., the organized white nationalist movement has become more visible in the United States over the past few decades. But the extent of this extremist movement's appeal to ...
Medical Xpress / Your gut bacteria make a molecule that fights a leading cause of food poisoning
What if something produced naturally by your gut bacteria could help fight a dangerous foodborne pathogen? Researchers in Michigan State University's Department of Microbiology, Genetics, & Immunology may have found just ...
Phys.org / The local costs of remote sensing: Examining the ethics of laser scanning in tropical forests
Laser scanning, often referred to as lidar, has rapidly transformed how tropical forest regions are studied, monitored and understood across academic disciplines. The technology enables researchers to peer through dense forest ...
Phys.org / Well-preserved tooth from Pacific mastodon found in a creek in San Francisco Bay Area
Brigid Lynch was working along a wooded creek in a mountainous part of the San Francisco Bay Area when something that didn't look like the rocks she'd been studying caught her eye. It turned out to be the fossilized tooth ...
Medical Xpress / Patient-specific AI technique could make minimally invasive surgeries safer and more precise
Researchers have created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient's preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely guide ...
Tech Xplore / Flexible flight corridors let drones navigate cluttered spaces faster and more safely
Researchers at Durham University have developed a new drone navigation system that enables autonomous aircraft to fly faster, more smoothly and more safely through crowded and obstacle-filled environments. This leads to new ...
Phys.org / Conserving just 35% of the nation's waterways could sustain freshwater biodiversity
By evaluating the health of waterways across the U.S., researchers have identified a network encompassing about one-third of rivers and streams that, if conserved and restored, could sustain the nation's freshwater biodiversity ...
Phys.org / Dual findings reveal how to control coherence in plasmonic nanolasers
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have uncovered two complementary mechanisms that govern coherence in miniaturized lasers composed of metallic nanoparticle arrays incorporated into an optical gain material, ...
Phys.org / Does AI make us smarter or more dependent?
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of how people learn, solve problems and construct knowledge. Yet whether AI strengthens human intelligence or encourages excessive dependence remains an open question.
