Phys.org / Engineered bacteria can consume tumors from the inside out
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the tumor, finding an environment ...
Phys.org / Extreme heat waves trigger unexpected nanoparticle formation in air
Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat waves can trigger new ...
Medical Xpress / HPV vaccination provides 'sustained protection' against cervical cancer, study shows
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is associated with a significantly reduced risk of invasive cervical cancer, with no indication of waning protection up to 18 years after vaccination, finds a study from Sweden published ...
Medical Xpress / Thyroid eye disease tied to higher prevalence of human papillomavirus
Patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) have a higher prevalence of low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) diagnosed before autoimmune hyperthyroidism onset than matched controls, according to a research letter published online ...
Medical Xpress / Shoulder scans in most people above 40 show rotator cuff abnormalities, pain or not
Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint seen by doctors, affecting approximately 18–31% of the global population each month. Up to 85% of these cases are due to problems with the rotator cuff (RC)—the ...
Phys.org / Fungi could transform leftovers into lifelines
As the global population climbs toward 10 billion and climate change strains farmland, scientists are searching for new ways to feed the world. A group of Cornell food science researchers say one answer may lie not in fields ...
Phys.org / AI develops easily understandable solutions for unusual experiments in quantum physics
Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics and presents them in a ...
Phys.org / 5,000-year-old bureaucracy: Over 7,000 prehistoric seal impressions uncovered in western Iran
In the journal Antiquity, Dr. Shokouh Khosravi published preliminary findings of the largest known corpus of prehistoric seal impressions in the entire ancient world. The corpus, made up of over 7,000 seal impressions, more ...
Phys.org / Tokyo Bay's night lights reveal hidden boundaries between species
A key characteristic of modern human society is rapid urbanization, a process that can reshape natural environments and disrupt the habitats of many organisms. One widespread byproduct of urbanization is artificial light ...
Phys.org / AI-powered platform accelerates discovery of new mRNA delivery materials
Integrating AI with advanced robotics to create self-driving labs (SDL) is a promising approach to tackling molecular discovery. A new SDL system, called LUMI-lab, combines large-scale molecular pretraining, active learning, ...
Phys.org / Making sense of a chaotic planet: How understanding weather, climate risks depends on supercomputers like NCAR's
Have you ever stopped to wonder how forecasters can predict the weather days in advance, or how scientists figure out how the climate might evolve under different policies?
Phys.org / How long could Earth microbes live on Mars?
Searching for past or present life on Mars is the sole driving force behind every mission we send to the red planet, from orbiters to landers to rovers. However, there remains a concern in the scientific community about Earth-based ...
