Phys.org / LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detect most massive black hole merger to date
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a final black hole approximately ...
Medical Xpress / Literature review reveals global rise in gastrointestinal cancers, with colorectal cancer leading the trend
Early-onset gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are rising at alarming rates worldwide and, in the U.S., are increasing faster than any other type of early-onset cancer, including breast cancer, according to two literature reviews ...
Phys.org / A new mechanism to realize spin-selective transport in tungsten diselenide
Spintronics are promising devices that work utilizing not only the charge of electrons, like conventional electronics, but also their spin (i.e., their intrinsic angular momentum). The development of fast and energy-efficient ...
Phys.org / Researchers find distinct variability patterns in jetted active galactic nuclei
A study led by Dr. Xiong Dingrong of the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with other researchers, has offered new insights into the variability mechanisms of jetted active galactic ...
Medical Xpress / New research finds changing your diet could ease persistent headaches after brain injury
A new clinical trial demonstrates that dietary changes significantly reduce persistent post-traumatic headaches (pPTH), a common and debilitating consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers from the UNC School ...
Phys.org / Man's best friend could be the spotted lanternfly's worst enemy
A new study led by Virginia Tech found that volunteer dog-handler teams—made up of everyday people and their pets—can effectively detect the elusive egg masses of the spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect that's damaging ...
Phys.org / Scientists design stable enzymes for non-natural reactions with near-natural efficiency
Weizmann Institute of Science-led researchers have unveiled a computational workflow that crafts enzymes exhibiting catalytic efficiencies surpassing 100,000 M−1 s−1, achieving performance comparable to natural biocatalysts ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists unravel how a tiny region of the brain helps us form distinct memories
Life may unfold as a continuous stream, but our memories tell a different story. We do not recall the past as one long, unbroken text. Instead, we remember it as a series of meaningful events, like how sentences are structured ...
Medical Xpress / Is it OK to boil water more than once, or should you empty the kettle every time?
The kettle is a household staple practically everywhere—how else would we make our hot drinks?
Medical Xpress / Autistic adults nearly 1.5 times more likely to need return visits to hospital for mental health conditions
Mental health conditions are common among autistic adults, with 50% of autistic adults having a co-occurring condition, like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety or depression.
Medical Xpress / Cerebroplacental ratio better guides delivery with perceived less fetal movement
An additional ultrasound measurement to assess resistance in fetal blood vessels can improve the decision of whether to expedite birth when a woman in the final stage of pregnancy perceives less fetal movements, according ...
Phys.org / Scientists pioneer 3D temperature mapping inside living tissue using light and AI
A team of researchers from Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid has developed a groundbreaking technique that maps temperature in three dimensions within biological tissue, using invisible ...
