Phys.org / Why warmer seas may not wipe out female fish in some species
In many fish species, water temperature determines the sex of the fry. This biological mechanism threatens to wipe out entire populations because of a shortage of females in the face of global warming. However, an international ...
Phys.org / Self-driving chemistry lab discovers catalysts that can switch products on demand
Researchers have developed a self-driving chemistry lab that can autonomously search through hundreds of catalyst recipes and reaction conditions to identify faster, more selective and more programmable ways to make important ...
Phys.org / Wave-packet interferometry captures elusive dark excitons in organic superconductor
In a recent study, Manish Garg, independent group leader at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI FKF), succeeded in probing the local properties of bright and dark excitons in the organic superconductor copper ...
Phys.org / New algorithm identifies disease-linked changes in cells without prior training
A new algorithm could drive breakthroughs in understanding cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other potentially fatal conditions. Researchers from the University of Waterloo developed the machine-learning algorithm, called RNovA, ...
Medical Xpress / Psoriasis is linked to impairment of some sleep domains
Higher psoriasis (PsO) disease activity is independently associated with impairment in specific sleep domains, but not global sleep quality, according to a study published online May 29 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
Phys.org / Moose are native to Colorado, study shows
The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern—brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Phys.org / Elephants move closer to humans when droughts are sustained
If drought in an area persists longer, elephants move closer to areas near human settlements. This is the finding of research by biologist Irene Bouwman of Radboud University. During short-term droughts, the animals remain ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking a female-only GABA signal that helps glioblastoma evade immunity may boost survival
Researchers have identified a critical biological difference in how glioblastoma develops in male and female laboratory models, pinpointing an immune pathway that fuels tumor growth only in females. The study shows that the ...
Phys.org / Graphene plasmon cavities enable advanced and scalable terahertz photodetectors
How could we noninvasively distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue? And how could we increase the speed of wireless communications? These two seemingly unrelated questions may share the same answer: terahertz (THz) ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of BIRC3 gene variants in Crohn's disease yields a druggable pathway
Researchers from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto have found a previously unknown genetic cause of Crohn's disease and uncovered how those changes trigger inflammation through a key immune pathway. The ...
Phys.org / Hubble details early galaxy transforming neighborhood 1.4 billion years after Big Bang
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found something they never expected—ultraviolet light from a galaxy that existed just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. That galaxy contains tightly clustered young ...
Phys.org / New biofilm mechanism in Bacillus cereus could reveal vulnerabilities in food poisoning bacterium
Scientists from the Department of Microbiology at the University of Malaga, who are also members of the Institute of Subtropical and Mediterranean Horticulture "La Mayora" (IHSM), have discovered a previously unknown mechanism ...
