Phys.org / Exploiting interfacial ionic mobility to make heat-moldable nanoparticle aggregates
If you have ever warped a cheap plastic cup by pouring coffee into it, then you have witnessed thermoplasticity in action. Thermoplasticity is the ability of a material to become pliable under heating. In industry, thermoplasticity ...
Medical Xpress / Single dose of psilocybin provides rapid relief from depression in double-blind study
A single dose of the psychedelic substance psilocybin can provide rapid relief from depressive symptoms—within just a few days. This is shown by the first randomized, double-blind study in Sweden of psilocybin for depression. ...
Phys.org / Dense soils may spread earthquake surface ruptures into wider damage zones, particle models suggest
Earthquakes can visibly and permanently crack the ground apart in dramatic and unpredictable surface fault rupture, but new research led by University of Michigan Engineering revealed that soil density strongly influences ...
Phys.org / Climate change costs lives by breaking down social connection, says study
Climate change is widely understood as an environmental and economic threat, but new research from the University of Sydney shows it is also a growing social crisis, weakening the relationships people rely on to survive.
Phys.org / Q&A: Evolution may reshape how urban forests, wetlands and reefs protect cities
Over the past decade, cities around the world have increasingly turned to nature-based infrastructure to become more resilient in the face of a changing climate. Urban forests provide shade during heat waves and improve air ...
Phys.org / New species of venomous box jellyfish discovered in Singapore
Finding highly venomous box jellyfish that are almost invisible in water is not an easy task—but researching them is crucial so that we can learn how to safely avoid them. Stings from these "sea-wasps" are extremely painful ...
Phys.org / NASA missions track record-breaking radio burst from sun
When NASA scientists first observed a particular radio burst from the sun in August 2025, there was nothing unusual about it. But then the radio burst kept going. Typically, solar radio bursts like these last a few hours ...
Phys.org / Bacterial energy enzyme reveals dual-trigger sodium pump mechanism, offering antibiotic clues
The Na+-NQR enzyme is vital for energy production in pathogenic bacteria like the one that causes cholera, making it a highly promising target for new antibiotics. Researchers combined modified artificial intelligence techniques ...
Medical Xpress / Stretchy implants could stick to arteries to treat high blood pressure
High blood pressure, formally known as hypertension, is a leading cause of heart disease in the United States, impacting nearly half of all adults. Approximately 1 in 10 of these patients experience drug-resistant hypertension ...
Medical Xpress / New obesity guidance urges dietitian-led care as GLP-1 drugs reshape treatment
Obesity and dietitian societies have joined forces to issue a new consensus statement on recommendations surrounding the use of obesity drugs for weight loss treatment. The consensus statement was presented at the European ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD medications show dosage sweet spots, with little gain above limits
Researchers have identified the best dosage for each ADHD medication using data from thousands of people with the condition. The new study published in The Lancet Psychiatry provides the most comprehensive view of dosage ...
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed ceramic implants that mimic human bone could enable patient-matched repair
Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed ceramic implant material that closely mimics real human bone. The findings advance the development of personalized bone regeneration and ...
