Phys.org / Mussel-inspired glue from recycled plastics can be detached and reused
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers that is tougher than commercial glues, works underwater as well as in dry environments, and bonds ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery might inform new approach to Huntington's disease
Treatments that target a fragment of the mutant protein that causes Huntington's disease might be more effective than treatments—now in clinical trials—that target the whole protein but leave this fragment intact, a new ...
Tech Xplore / Simple motor networks mimic human muscle behavior under increasing load
Scientists have developed a network of mechanical motors that mimic the molecular machinery underpinning human muscle contraction. The University of Bristol-led findings, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface ...
Medical Xpress / Video: AI advances help care teams find hard-to-see colon polyps
Technology is changing how doctors detect colon cancer. New AI-enhanced imaging tools help physicians find subtle polyps that might otherwise be missed. Learn more from Dr. Michael Wallace, a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist.
Medical Xpress / Hormone therapy and dementia risk: What a new study says about menopause treatment
Hormone therapy is widely used to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. But scientists have long debated whether it affects dementia risk.
Medical Xpress / Mutant group B strep strains may explain infections in newborns
A new study could explain why some mothers can still pass Group B Streptococcus, or GBS, to their babies after childbirth even when they're treated with antibiotics. A Michigan State University research team discovered postpartum ...
Phys.org / Critically endangered monkey gives birth after surgery saves her foot

Phys.org / Musk's Twitter takeover highlights danger of owner-dominated social media platforms
A new study has suggested that the transformation of Twitter into X under Elon Musk marks the rise of a new, illiberal regime of governing social media platforms, which can be controlled by one person and used to push their ...
Tech Xplore / AI tools like ChatGPT make learning easier—and more persuasive, study finds
Googling isn't quite what it used to be. Now, when typing something into Google's search engine, the first response flashing to life on your screen is not the top-ranked search result but an "AI Overview." When asked why ...
Phys.org / Kimchi-derived probiotic found to promote binding and excretion of intestinal nanoplastics
A lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi may help promote the removal of nanoplastics from the body by binding to them in the intestine. Nanoplastics are ultrafine plastic particles measuring less than 1 micrometer that ...
Phys.org / Predicting RNA activity expands therapeutic possibilities
With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their amino-acid sequences. But what biologists really want to predict, says Columbia biophysicist Hashim Al-Hashimi, ...
Phys.org / Why drawing eyes on food packaging could stop seagulls stealing your chips
The increasingly urban lifestyles of seagulls in the UK and around Europe has made them experts at grabbing food from unsuspecting outdoor diners. Herring gulls in particular are gaining a reputation for food theft in seaside ...
