Phys.org / Crowd sensing for the environment: Citizen science and plant apps map how urbanization alters city soils and climate
Plants reflect urban climate and soil conditions with remarkable precision. Using more than 80 million observations from plant identification apps, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry have produced ...
Phys.org / Ancient Type II supernova discovered from universe's first billion years
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Type II supernova. The newly detected supernova, named SN Eos, exploded when the universe was only 1 billion years old. ...
Tech Xplore / Soft, 3D transistors could host living cells for bioelectronics
New research from the WISE group (Wearable, Intelligent, Soft Electronics) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU-WISE) has addressed a long-standing bioelectronic challenge: the development of soft, 3D transistors.
Phys.org / DNA's hidden 'traffic controller' protein may hold clues to cancer prevention
A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as a kind of "traffic controller" on DNA. Without this protein, chaos ensues, potentially causing ...
Medical Xpress / Sudden cardiac arrest in athletes: Hidden heart conditions can trigger rare but fatal events during competition
Though rare, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in athletes often unfolds in high-visibility settings, like sports arenas, prompting questions about underlying causes, emergency preparedness, and long-term outcomes. A new review ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds high blood pressure primes heart for damage from cancer drugs
Anthracyclines are among the most widely used chemotherapy drugs and have been a mainstay of cancer treatment for more than 30 years. Their extraordinary efficacy against numerous solid and hematologic tumors means that they ...
Medical Xpress / Can teens use social media too little for their own good? Maybe, study says
There appears to be a "Goldilocks zone" when it comes to social media use among teenagers.
Phys.org / Seagrass meadows could be good for your health—yet they're disappearing fast
The well-being benefits of nature are often linked to forests or habitats that support diverse pollinators. Spending time in green spaces reduces stress and anxiety, for example.
Tech Xplore / Free tool can reduce harmful engagement with AI-generated explicit images
A new evidence-based online educational tool aims to curb the watching, sharing, and creation of AI-generated explicit imagery.
Phys.org / Scientists watch cell receptors respond in real time as drugs bind
A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled receptors in living cells actually respond to activating substances. The scientists discovered that ...
Phys.org / Tiny earthquakes reveal hidden faults under Northern California
By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San Andreas fault meets the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that could give rise to devastating major ...
Medical Xpress / Dormant cancer cells can change shape to survive immune system attack
Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune defenders and biding their time until conditions are ripe for establishing a new tumor elsewhere in ...
