Phys.org / Organic matter diversity determines how much iron is available for marine life, study finds
How much of the essential trace element iron remains available for marine life in the ocean depends critically on the diversity of organic molecules in seawater, according to new research published in Nature Communications ...
Medical Xpress / Age, sex, and cancer type can influence risk of subsequent cancers among survivors
The risk of developing a subsequent primary cancer varied significantly by age at initial diagnosis, sex, and type of first cancer, according to a study by Oxana Palesh and Susan Hong and colleagues at Virginia Commonwealth ...
Science X / Electrochemistry captures coffee's taste, powering a more consistent cup
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep coffee consistent cup to cup. An electrifying new approach from University of Oregon researchers could make the task easier. They've discovered a way to measure the flavor profile ...
Phys.org / Exploring representation through digital archaeology and game design

Tech Xplore / This artificial retina doesn't just aim to restore sight—it opens a hidden channel of vision
The retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, is made up of photoreceptor cells that convert visible light into electrical signals, which is essential for human vision. Some diseases, such as retinal degeneration, ...
Medical Xpress / How bones make marrow: Newly identified 'organizer' cells also reappear after fractures
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located within the hollow center of bones, serving as the primary site for the continuous production of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Despite its physiological importance, ...
Phys.org / Deep-ocean heat has been marching closer to Antarctica, reveals long-term study
A new decades-long study of oceanographic data provides the first evidence that deep-ocean heat has moved closer to Antarctica, threatening the fragile ice shelves that fringe the continent.
Phys.org / An unprecedented Antarctic heat wave hit in the dead of winter—what it signals for the decades ahead
In the middle of the Antarctic winter, during months of darkness when temperatures often dip below −30°C, the continent warmed dramatically. In July and August 2024, temperatures in parts of East Antarctica rose by up to ...
Tech Xplore / Robotically assembled building blocks could make construction more efficient and sustainable
Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers published in ...
Phys.org / Zinc–redox crosstalk: A new key to cellular protein quality control
Zinc is an essential trace element that controls myriad biological processes. The delicate balance of its concentration in the body is critical; both deficiency and excess are linked to severe pathological states such as ...
Medical Xpress / Significant rise in valley fever cases in El Paso linked to extreme weather, dust, study finds
A new study by researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso has identified a significant rise in Valley fever cases in El Paso over the past decade and found strong connections between the disease and extreme weather, ...
Medical Xpress / Digital twin can reveal alcohol consumption in crime cases
Using a so-called digital twin, it is possible to predict with greater precision than at present how much alcohol a person has consumed and at what time. The study was conducted by researchers at Linköping University and ...
