Phys.org / Scientists uncover two new ways doxycycline disables bacterial ribosomes
Scientists have discovered two new mechanisms for how a well-established antibiotic works, paving the way for the potential development of new antibiotic treatments.
Phys.org / Sustainability is not automatic: New model reveals local successes and regional barriers
Whether a region manages its land sustainably cannot be measured by land-use change alone. Sustainability is a delicate balance: it must be ecologically sound, legally secure and socially just. Yet capturing this interplay ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop a two-step system for detecting and classifying brain tumors from MRI images
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based method that could significantly improve the detection and classification of brain tumors from MRI scans, achieving higher accuracy than conventional diagnostic ...
Medical Xpress / Conventional lecterns outperformed by ergonomic prototype in usability tests
Lecterns have been a feature of public speaking for centuries. Research in the International Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics has developed a new design based on body measurements and working patterns of university ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI is capable of flexible planning and problem-solving while using far less energy
The capabilities of large AI systems are constantly improving, but they consume a great deal of energy during training and operation. The human brain, by contrast, is extremely energy-efficient: It requires only around 20 ...
Phys.org / Single molecule becomes quantum sensor for imaging proteins at nanoscale
A new quantum sensing technique could enable measurements of single protein structures and other important molecules, with potential applications in drug discovery and structural biology. A research team from the Institute ...
Phys.org / Astronomers find strongest evidence yet that Betelgeuse has a companion
At long last, astronomers have firm evidence that Betelgeuse, one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), a team led by French researcher ...
Medical Xpress / Cumulative fatigue emerges as top predictor of women's soccer injuries
An international team of researchers led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and the University of Bonn—with participation from the Barça Innovation Hub (BIHUB), FC Barcelona's medical department and the ...
Medical Xpress / Being a mother affects health more than being a father, study shows
Having children marks a before and after in people's lives. It is a life event that brings significant biological, psychological and social changes. However, it does not affect the whole population equally. A study conducted ...
Medical Xpress / Overlooked plant proteins may boost gut health
Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria. These benefits have long been known to stem partly from ...
Phys.org / Plant-derived lignin could guide bone repair by forming bone-like minerals
A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath Palakurthy and Professor Rivka ...
Phys.org / Tabby's star may be orbited by a planetary-mass companion
By analyzing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and conducting new radial velocity measurements, U.K. and French astronomers have found evidence that the mysterious Tabby's star may be orbited by ...
