Phys.org / Why being nice matters in a complex world
Coan says practicing kindness, be it big or small, is a one-two punch for your health and for those around you. That includes "weak ties," the casual, micro-relationships people form. "People often deride small talk as shallow," ...
Phys.org / A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest
Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and develop quantum technologies, ...
Medical Xpress / Wnt signaling drives stomach cancer spread by reshaping surrounding tissue, finds study
Researchers at the Cancer Research Institute and the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have uncovered a critical mechanism that enables gastric cancer to spread to distant organs. Their study ...
Dialog / Can we observe Earth-like exoplanets from our own planet?
Finding Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars and identifying signs of life such as oxygen or water is a major goal in astronomy and a key interest for the public. Addressing this challenge speaks directly to one of ...
Phys.org / Large area MoS₂ reduces energy loss in magnetic memory films
Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) fundamentally changes how they lose energy, a finding that could bring 2D‑material ...
Phys.org / Simultaneously decoding the transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome within a single cell
The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells. Analyzing average values across ...
Medical Xpress / Some patients keep weight off with fewer GLP-1 injections, study finds
Some patients taking popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs may be able to keep the weight off while taking injections less often, according to a small new study.
Medical Xpress / PET imaging study reveals how ketamine relieves treatment-resistant depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and approximately 30% of patients develop treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a condition that does not respond adequately to conventional ...
Medical Xpress / Blood-based marker opens up perspectives for cancer diagnostics
Metastatic prostate cancer is currently associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, patients respond very differently to standard treatments such as hormone therapy or radiation therapy. Reliable markers ...
Medical Xpress / Temporal lobe epilepsy: A new strategy to correct abnormal electrical activity
Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are eligible for the procedure. ...
Phys.org / Data reveal a significant acceleration of global warming since 2015
Global warming has accelerated since 2015, according to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After accounting for known natural influences on global temperature, the research team detected ...
Medical Xpress / Intracellular signaling proteins emerge as a key target in drug development
In a recently published review, a research team led by MedUni Vienna has highlighted a promising new approach to drug discovery. The focus is on the targeted modulation of certain intracellular signaling proteins as a strategy ...
