Phys.org / Fossil teeth yield 18-million-year-old proteins, offering new clues to mammal evolution
Proteins degrade over time, making their history hard to study. But new research has uncovered ancient proteins in the enamel of the teeth of 18-million-year-old fossilized mammals from Kenya's Rift Valley, opening a window ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Team discusses uncovering ApoE3 Christchurch's multi-pathway defense against Alzheimer's
Researchers have published a paper in Alzheimer's & Dementia, titled "ApoE3 Christchurch and tau interaction as a protective mechanism against Alzheimer's disease."
Medical Xpress / Audio expert examines whether noise-cancelling headphones help or harm ears
Recent headlines in the United Kingdom earlier this year attributed noise-canceling headphones as a possible culprit in rising rates of auditory processing disorder (APD) and hearing problems in younger populations. While ...
Medical Xpress / A key protein helps liver cancer resist heat-based treatment
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center may help explain why certain liver tumors return quickly after thermal ablation, a widely used minimally-invasive, image-guided technique ...
Phys.org / Chang'e-6 samples unlock secrets of the moon's farside
The moon's near and far sides exhibit striking asymmetry—from topography and crustal thickness to volcanic activity—yet the origins of these differences have long puzzled scientists.
Phys.org / Defects in single-crystal indium gallium zinc oxide could fix persistent display instability
Many displays found in smartphones and televisions rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) made from indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) to control pixels. IGZO offers high transparency due to its large bandgap (the gap existing ...
Phys.org / Here are some things you can do to be better prepared for major flooding
Catastrophic floods can be difficult to prepare for. Sometimes evacuation is the right call, but if it's too late the best bet is to find higher ground nearby. The stakes can be high, because a flash flood may give those ...
Phys.org / Repurposed drugs could calm the immune system's response to nanomedicine
An international study led by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has identified a promising strategy to enhance the safety of nanomedicines, advanced therapies often used in cancer and vaccine ...
Tech Xplore / EU unveils AI code of practice to help businesses comply with bloc's rules
The European Union on Thursday released a code of practice on general purpose artificial intelligence to help thousands of businesses in the 27-nation bloc using the technology comply with the bloc's landmark AI rule book.
Medical Xpress / AI tool more effective for predicting risk of heart attack
Researchers from The University of Western Australia, working with medtech industry partners Artrya, have developed a new, fully automated AI algorithm that is more effective than current methods at predicting the risk of ...
Phys.org / A young giant planet orbits one star, while a planet-forming disk exists around same-aged companion star
A team of international researchers led by Tomas Stolker in the Netherlands has imaged a young gas giant exoplanet near a 12-million-year-old star. The planet is orbiting a star whose planet formation has finished, while ...
Phys.org / Ancient bone-eating worms ate mosasaur, ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons
When large marine animals like whales die, they sink down to the seabed. Once their flesh has been stripped away by scavengers and microbes, their corpses are colonized by a variety of specialized invertebrates that feast ...
