Phys.org / Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging
Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons that emerge allow researchers ...
Phys.org / Antarctic submillimeter telescope enables more complete view of the carbon cycle in star-forming regions
Chinese researchers have braved the cold and harsh environment of Antarctica in order to get a unique view of star formation in the interstellar medium (ISM). The Chinese National Antarctica and Arctic Research Expedition ...
Medical Xpress / 3D hybrid imaging system could address limitations of MRI, CT and ultrasound
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have shown that an innovative, noninvasive technique can be used to quickly collect 3D ...
Phys.org / How prolonged maternal care in horses builds better brains and improves social skills
As with humans, the maternal bond in nature is important for animals to find their way in the world. In mammals, a mother does not just provide milk; she also teaches her offspring survival skills and how to play well with ...
Phys.org / Two simple modifications cool Kenyan homes and keep mosquitoes out
Researchers in Kenya have identified two low-cost solutions that tackle the twin challenges of rising temperatures and malaria transmission.
Phys.org / AI tools speed development of antibody probes to see activity inside living cells
Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act as lightbulbs, enabling scientists to better see inside living cells to track errors in gene expression ...
Phys.org / New temperature record challenges extreme high-latitude warmth paradigm
Reliable predictions of how the Earth's climate will respond as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels increase are based on climate models. These models, in turn, are based on data from past geological times in which the CO2 ...
Medical Xpress / Survivors of Halabja chemical gas attack face severe trauma and health issues decades later
Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed is a clinical psychologist and researcher specializing in trauma, somatic symptoms, and psychopathology in conflict-affected populations. He has worked for over a decade with survivors of massacres in ...
Phys.org / Woolly rhino genome recovered from Ice Age wolf stomach
Researchers from the Center for Paleogenetics have managed to analyze the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, recovered from a tissue sample found preserved inside the stomach of an ancient wolf.
Medical Xpress / National poll: Less than half of parents say swearing is never OK for kids
Today's parents may be growing more relaxed about their children using curse words, according to a national poll.
Phys.org / Decoded rules of microRNA strand selection reveal conserved, programmable features
MicroRNAs, whose discovery was recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, are central regulators of gene expression, yet a fundamental question has remained unanswered: how cells choose between the two ...
Phys.org / Scientists realize a three-qubit quantum register in a silicon photonic chip
Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum devices rely on entangled ...
