Phys.org / Diamond-based particle detector captures one-picosecond electron bursts for high-rate beam diagnostics
Physicists at UC Santa Cruz and other institutes across California and New Mexico have developed a detection system that will allow next-generation particle accelerators to better reveal fundamental biological and chemical ...
Phys.org / Medieval Moroccan bathhouse steps reveal rare game board
Archaeologists have discovered a game board carved into the steps of a medieval bathhouse in the Moroccan town of Walīla (the Roman city of Volubilis). The find is a rare example of a medieval game board that can be securely ...
Phys.org / Climate change boosts soybean production but worsens bean quality
A study published by Food Research International analyzed the triple effect of climate change on soybean quality—increased carbon dioxide (CO₂), high temperatures and drought. Using predictive modeling powered by artificial ...
Medical Xpress / Rotating brain waves uncover circular sensory circuits linked to movement and sensation
Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external stimuli, in laying down ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA uncovers deadly plague outbreak among Siberian hunter-gatherers 5,500 years ago
Plague is commonly associated with rats, crowded medieval cities, and the epidemics that swept across Europe during and after the Middle Ages. But a new study published in Nature shows that the disease was already lethal ...
Medical Xpress / Only a third of eligible breast cancer patients receive a gene expression test
A gene expression test can help prevent unnecessary chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, yet its use in the Netherlands remains limited. This is shown by new research from the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Centre (IKNL), ...
Medical Xpress / Most people seeking a kidney transplant in the US never reach the waitlist
Nearly half of Americans with kidney failure who are referred for transplantation never begin the process required to be considered for a new organ, a new study shows, while less than a fifth actually complete the assessment ...
Medical Xpress / These tiny genetic fragments may be critical for telling a brain when to rest
The altered presence of tiny fragments of neuronal genes, called microexons, causes hyperarousal in zebrafish. This is the main conclusion of an international study led by Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the Center for ...
Phys.org / Electrically tunable spin polarization in graphene opens path toward low-power spintronic devices
Researchers at the National Graphene Institute, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore, have shown that the magnetic behavior of electrons in graphene can be precisely controlled using electricity, revealing ...
Medical Xpress / One gene deletion tears off colon cancer's invisibility cloak, boosting immunotherapy
A study from the University of Calgary shows that removing a single gene makes colon cancer cells a target for immunotherapy—a fundamental breakthrough. The research, published in Cell Reports Medicine, was led by Dr. Arshad ...
Phys.org / Radio scans find no alien tech from the latest interstellar comet
The group leading the charge in the search for extraterrestrial life has given the all clear: An interstellar comet looks to be completely natural and free of any alien tech.
Phys.org / World's highest-consuming 10% cause up to $5.7 trillion a year in environmental damage, study finds
The environmental damage caused by the world's highest-consuming 10% of people is worth $1.7 trillion to $5.7 trillion a year. At the central and upper estimates, this is several times more than the international community ...
