Medical Xpress / Highly potent compound that blocks Ebola virus entry discovered
A University of Minnesota–led multi-institutional research team has discovered a highly potent small molecule that blocks Ebola virus entry by stabilizing the virus's entry protein and provides strong protection when given ...
Phys.org / Excavations at Prado Vargas now span 140 square meters of a Neanderthal layer
The 2026 field season at Prado Vargas Cave, located in the village of Cornejo in the northern province of Burgos, Spain, within the Ojo Guareña karst complex, has expanded the excavation of Neanderthal sublevel 4D by 32 square ...
Tech Xplore / A new way to monitor methane from abandoned wells
The transition to cleaner energy is reshaping the way energy is produced and consumed. It is also redefining how engineers manage the infrastructure left behind. Across the United States, millions of abandoned oil and gas ...
Phys.org / 'Ex-Utero' project uses art, science to explore regenerative medicine
On a sunny spring day at Penn State, Cristin Millett, professor of art in the College of Arts and Architecture's School of Visual Arts, inserted a catheter needle into the umbilical vein of a placenta.
Medical Xpress / AI-enabled analysis of pathology slides may help assess risk of pancreatic cancer recurrence
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled spatial analysis can identify patterns in routine pathology slides that may help clinicians identify which patients with pancreatic cancer are at ...
Phys.org / Molecular surface design achieves over 100 million-fold tuning of porous liquid viscosity
Porous liquids combine permanent nanoscale cavities with fluidity, making them promising for applications like carbon dioxide capture, gas separation and other chemical processes. Their viscosity must be tailored to the intended ...
Medical Xpress / How the heart, lungs and brain work together to shape experience
People speak of "butterflies in the stomach," a "racing heart," being "choked up" or needing to "catch breath." Language routinely treats emotion and thought as though they inhabit the body. But why are events of the mind ...
Phys.org / What the backlash to the Industrial Revolution can teach us about handcrafts in the age of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) isn't yet causing widespread job losses in Australia. But with some high-profile business leaders still predicting a looming unemployment "crisis," it's little wonder many people fear AI is coming ...
Phys.org / AI reveals new class of cellular 'off switch' linked to cancer pathways
Cornell researchers have used artificial intelligence to uncover a previously unknown way cells control how proteins move inside them, a process essential for growth, communication and movement that is often disrupted in ...
Medical Xpress / Your brain may be doing its most important work when you think you're doing nothing
You finish a lecture, a meeting, a conversation with someone you care about. And what do you do? You reach for your phone. You stick in your earbuds. You fire up a podcast, a playlist or whatever algorithmic feed is currently ...
Phys.org / 'Heel-strike' may have allowed early humans to walk farther—at the cost of high-impact forces
The average person takes thousands of steps each day, instinctively walking heel-to-toe. Although they hardly register them, those consistent heel-first strides are more distinctive to humans than previously thought and allowed ...
Phys.org / Maine's sugar kelp reveals four distinct populations vital for restoration
Saccharina latissima, or sugar kelp, is one of the dominant species in Maine's kelp forests, providing food, habitat and clean water to support a rich marine ecosystem. It is also the bedrock of the state's burgeoning kelp ...
