Phys.org / UK in pole position to lead key instrument in NASA's hunt for Earth-like worlds
UK astronomers are a step closer to playing a leading role in NASA's search for alien life in the coming decades as they continue developing one of the core instruments of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). The exciting ...
Phys.org / Wildfires: What can the UK and other nations learn from Australia's world‑leading fire response systems?
Wildfires are becoming a feature of the UK's hotter, drier climate. In July 2026, major fires swept through parts of the UK in a matter of days—notably setting Arthur's Seat, the extinct volcano in the center of Edinburgh, ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny BAP1 mutations can disrupt internal signals that suppress tumor growth
Scientists at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences at National Taiwan University have uncovered how tiny genetic changes can disable one of the body's most important tumor-suppressing proteins. Their study, published in ...
Phys.org / How the most widespread parasite on Earth reads its genome
A parasite carried by billions of people worldwide often causes harmful infections during pregnancy and in immunocompromised individuals and is a leading infectious cause of blindness in South America. Once it enters the ...
Medical Xpress / Redesigned lung cancer drug matches tumor control with fewer off-target interactions
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new chemical approach that could help make targeted cancer medicines safer and more precise. The discovery gives scientists a new way to design drugs that bind more selectively ...
Phys.org / Even a slight overproduction of tubulin can tip the balance of cellular health, study shows
For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little and too much can compromise essential cellular functions. A team from the University of Geneva ...
Phys.org / One idea, two cosmic mysteries—linking Little Red Dots and globular clusters
A new study led by astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin proposes a theory that could solve two astronomical riddles at once: the nature of Little Red Dots and the origin of globular clusters. Rather than representing ...
Phys.org / How 'super' enzymes can transform recycling
From microplastics clogging up our oceans to landfills leaching dangerous chemicals, plastic waste is a serious and growing problem for human health and the environment. We need to recycle more and, crucially, recycle better.
Medical Xpress / Druggable target that makes metastatic cancer cells easier to kill identified
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that helps determine whether cancer cells remain soft and difficult to destroy or become stiff enough for the immune system to attack.
Medical Xpress / Persistent money struggles tied to faster brain aging
Persistent financial hardship accelerates age-related cognitive decline, according to a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The study, published in Innovation in Aging, looked at data from 2,759 ...
Phys.org / Students unearth rare, centuries-old pot at Florida Spanish mission site
Some 400 years ago, a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe scooped up some clay and carefully molded it into a modest vessel, small enough to rest in the palm of their hand. You can imagine their fingers pressing ...
Phys.org / Butterfly experts are planting 15,000 milkweed plants along Florida roadsides to help monarchs
If you've driven down two-lane highways in rural parts of North Florida recently, you may have noticed a spate of new signs that designate the grassy knolls bordering the asphalt as wildflower areas. The signs likely feel ...
