Phys.org / Greenland shark genome reveals clues to 400-year lifespan
The first comprehensive map of nearly the entire Greenland shark genome is beginning to reveal some of the genetic clues behind its incredibly long life. The work could one day help scientists develop new cures and treatments ...
Phys.org / 'Don't scare the cat!' Engineers find smarter way to measure quantum systems
UNSW Sydney engineers have riffed on the famous Schrödinger's cat analogy to demonstrate a more efficient way to eliminate errors in quantum computing.
Phys.org / How a Richard Feynman formula could explain your dining habits in a new city
One of the dilemmas facing anyone in a new and unfamiliar city is where to dine out. You might consult guides, speak to locals, check reviews, and ultimately, try your luck. But if you're there for a while, at some point ...
Phys.org / Genetically modified hookworms produce and deliver therapeutics
Hookworms, intestinal parasites that infect hundreds of millions of people in under-resourced tropical regions around the globe, have evolved to survive inside the human gut for years, secreting molecules that enable coexistence ...
Science X / A calmer, happier you? One everyday escape may hold the key
A walk through a park may do more than clear your head—it could measurably improve your mental health. In one of the largest reviews of its kind, researchers analyzed nearly 4,000 studies involving more than 10 million people ...
Medical Xpress / CAR-T cells enhanced with navigation system to penetrate lymph nodes more efficiently
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T, has transformed treatment for blood cancers. The immunotherapy involves reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to recognize and attack tumor cells. It offers many patients ...
Phys.org / Dormant black hole revives in under three years, brightening 10-fold in nearby galaxy
Astronomers monitoring a nearby active galaxy for six years have watched its supermassive black hole dramatically wake up, brightening by a factor of 10 across ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. The paper outlining the study ...
Phys.org / Charred Bronze Age teeth unlock age at death despite cremation
Over 3,000 years ago, the people of Bronze Age Poland burned their dead and placed their ashes in urns, often destroying the intimate records of their lives preserved in their bones. Now, researchers have shown that some ...
Phys.org / Britain's oldest cave art may have been rediscovered in Bacon Hole cave
The oldest cave art in Britain may have been discovered, or more likely rediscovered, in a cave on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, possibly dating back around 17,000 years.
Phys.org / Kamo'oalewa asteroid's lunar origin challenged ahead of Tianwen-2 arrival
China's Tianwen-2 sample-return mission is well on its way to its target, an asteroid called Kamo'oalewa. The spacecraft left Earth in May 2025 and should return in late 2027 with samples of a space rock that scientists had ...
Phys.org / First deliberately injured Langobard woman in skeletal record reshapes view of male-only violence
The Langobards are frequently depicted as fierce warrior-like people, with all known archaeological evidence of violence restricted to men. However, nearly 1,400 years ago, a Langobard woman took two severe injuries to the ...
Phys.org / Flatworms reveal exploding immune cells that kill surrounding tissue
Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular detonation so fast and complete that the cell vanishes within minutes, leaving no trace behind. This discovery ...
