Medical Xpress / Sewers reveal signs of chlamydia near college campus with few reported cases
A city's sewers say a lot about its residents. Sick people often shed pathogens in their waste, adding traceable amounts of bacteria and viruses to wastewater. Testing that wastewater offers a simple, low-cost way to monitor ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial RNA escape may explain how chronic immune signaling helps tumors grow
Cancer biology—and, in turn, cancer treatment—have come a long way in the last few decades. Most people recognize this progress in breakthroughs like immunotherapy, a treatment strategy first deployed in 2011 that leverages ...
Phys.org / First PLP-dependent enzyme that influences bacterial protein production discovered
Researchers from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology's (SMART) Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) interdisciplinary research group, alongside collaborators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Nanyang ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of depression risk factors overlap with physical illnesses, especially gut disease
QIMR Berghofer researchers have identified a strong genetic link between gut-related health conditions and depression in a study offering new insights into why physical illnesses often accompany the mental health condition.
Phys.org / Yosemite's visitor surge revives concerns dating back 170 years
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary this summer, national parks are experiencing record-breaking visitation, with people flocking to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the great outdoors.
Phys.org / LLM use may threaten freedom of thought and equality across law, journalism and education
The Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley School of Law has released a human rights assessment of the use of large language models (LLMs) in the fields of law, journalism and education.
Phys.org / 3D magnetic-field control reveals new way to tune spin textures
(Fe0.63Ni0.3Pd0.07)3P, or FNPP, is a magnetic material that exhibits complex magnetic structures even at room temperature. This makes the material of interest for spintronics, a field that could enable data processing with ...
Phys.org / Extremely massive galaxy proto-supercluster smashes distance record
An international team of astronomers has discovered the most distant progenitor to a galaxy supercluster ever. The discovery supports existing theories of how galaxy clusters evolve and reveals how they are connected to the ...
Phys.org / Survey of young researchers raises concerns over future of science in U.S.
One-third of young scientists who had been planning careers in academic research changed their minds in the spring of 2025, according to a new survey. Fewer expected to remain in higher education or work in the U.S., or felt ...
Phys.org / Chandra uncovers 'hypersoft X-ray sources' that may solve two astrophysical puzzles
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have discovered a new class of objects behaving unlike any they have seen before. Astronomers suggest these newly spotted objects in other galaxies may help solve not one, ...
Phys.org / Smart, self-healing packaging uses AI to detect food spoilage in real time
Packaging already tells us where food comes from, when it was made, what's in it and how many calories it contains. But researchers see a future where packaging can "see," in real time, what's happening inside and translate ...
Phys.org / Forever chemicals break apart into fluoride under UV treatment, revealing a cleanup roadmap
UC Riverside environmental engineers have identified key chemical reactions that occur when ultraviolet light is used to destroy "forever chemical" pollutants in water, providing a roadmap for developing more effective cleanup ...
