Phys.org / Most compact quadruple star system yet fits within an area the size of Jupiter's orbit
Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly bound stars. This quadruple star system is described in a new study, published in Nature Communications, ...
Phys.org / Cornwall ocean study highlights value of low-cost eDNA tests
Environmental DNA (eDNA) tests can identify genetic material left by organisms in the environment, such as cells and excrement, but surveys of ocean wildlife can be difficult and expensive, and standard eDNA tests are also ...
Phys.org / New species of ancient mollusk found in South Korean waters
Scientists have discovered a new species of chiton, an ancient marine mollusk that has remained virtually unchanged for the last 300 million years. Chitons have an elongated oval shape with a shell composed of eight interlocking ...
Medical Xpress / Single 20-minute bike workout boosts memory-linked hippocampal 'ripples' in humans
A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and memory, according to a new study led by the University of Iowa.
Phys.org / Study finds 77% of US national parks are highly vulnerable to climate change
National parks in the United States represent a treasure trove of natural, historical, and recreational landscapes, but their health is at risk. A comprehensive new study on the climate-change vulnerability of national parks, ...
Phys.org / New peptide catalyst enables stereoselective head-to-tail macrocycle synthesis
A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish. Macrocyclic compounds are ubiquitous both in nature and in the chemical industrial setup. They are ...
Medical Xpress / How AI can assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients with bloodstream infection

Phys.org / New LVK catalog adds 128 gravitational-wave candidates, more than doubling detections
When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves, that reverberate across space and time, over hundreds of millions and even billions of years. ...
Medical Xpress / Human intestinal cell model enables precise detection of drug-induced barrier damage
Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity during the preclinical stage ...
Medical Xpress / Team approach, low-cost interventions lead to major reduction in opioid prescriptions after surgery
A novel team approach founded on a culture change among clinicians and doctor-patient communication successfully reduced post-surgical opioid use, a new study led by University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) researchers ...
