Phys.org / Quick test can curb antimicrobial resistance, identifying bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility in under 40 minutes
McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria—and determining which antibiotics can stop them—in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance ...
Medical Xpress / What our teeth reveal about the growing gap between rich and poor
Teeth are one of the most visible markers of poverty: structural circumstances that are individually borne.
Medical Xpress / Housing conditions and outdoor air pollution together affect children's asthma risk, study shows
Children growing up in homes with water damage or dampness and exposed to higher levels of outdoor air pollution during early childhood face a greater risk of developing asthma, according to new research supported by the ...
Phys.org / New 3D map of the sun's magnetic interior could improve predictions of disruptive solar flares
For the first time, scientists have used satellite data to create a 3D map of the sun's interior magnetic field, the fundamental driver of solar activity. The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, should ...
Phys.org / Study: Why Nobel Prize-level materials have yet to reach industry
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, polluted water, and increasingly strict environmental regulations are driving the search for materials that can efficiently trap pollutants at the molecular level. For more than two ...
Phys.org / Gut physiology, not host species, dictates microbiome diversity: Study
A large-scale population metagenomic study has shed new light on the spatial heterogeneity of viral communities across the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants, which are closely linked to human history. The team, led by ...
Phys.org / Genetic analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals a unique lineage in the Balkans
A new genetic study has revealed that the people of Deep Mani, who inhabit one of the remotest regions of mainland Greece, represent one of the most genetically distinctive populations in Europe, shaped by more than a millennium ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of chronic fatigue patients test positive for Bartonella or Babesia infection
A pilot study has found evidence of Bartonella and Babesia infection in almost half of 50 blood samples from patients suffering chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). The study appears in Pathogens.
Phys.org / Tiny new dinosaur Foskeia pelendonum fills in an evolutionary gap
An international team has described Foskeia pelendonum, a tiny Early Cretaceous ornithopod from Vegagete (Burgos, Spain), measuring barely half a meter long. Led by Paul-Emile Dieudonné (National University of Río Negro, ...
Phys.org / Where are Europe's oldest people living? What geography tells us about a fragmenting continent
For over a century and a half, life expectancy has steadily increased in the wealthiest countries. Spectacular climbs in longevity have been noted in the 20th century, correlating with the slump in infectious illnesses and ...
Medical Xpress / High consumption of ultraprocessed foods may be linked to cancer survivors' risk of death
Ultraprocessed foods can be considered unhealthy because they are often low in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and the industrial processing methods used to produce them introduce additives, artificial ...
Phys.org / Focusing and defocusing light without a lens: First demonstration of the structured Montgomery effect in free space
Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, all without the use of ...
