Phys.org / How AI and tariffs are transforming fast fashion
Fast-fashion companies churn out affordable, trendy tops and trousers to meet the tastes of the day, targeting fashion-savvy Gen Zers and young adults on a budget. For years, the Spanish fast-fashion retailer Zara has stood ...
Phys.org / The last spiny dormouse in Europe
Today, only one species of the spiny dormouse survives, in southern India. However, the oldest spiny dormouse in evolutionary history, a member of the rodent family, was found in sediment dating back 17.5 to 13.3 million ...
Phys.org / All ears: New study pinpoints what determines ear length in dogs
Ever see a basset hound and find yourself wanting to (gently) grab its long, floppy ears and give them a little waggle? The cute aggression caused by those droopy eared canines is real. And researchers at the University of ...
Phys.org / Sinking salty ice suggests pathway for life-sustaining conditions in Europa's ocean
A recent study by geophysicists at Washington State University offers insight into how nutrients may reach the subsurface ocean of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons and a leading candidate for extraterrestrial life in the solar ...
Phys.org / Beta-decay half-life measurements reveal evolution of nuclear shell structure
An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, providing key experimental data for understanding the structure of extremely neutron-rich nuclei.
Phys.org / Knock, knock... mapping comedic timing with a computational framework
Researchers propose a computational method to reveal the hidden timing structure of live performance. Vanessa C. Pope and colleagues present a framework, called Topology Analysis of Matching Sequences (TAMS), that algorithmically ...
Tech Xplore / The sky is full of secrets: Glaring vulnerabilities discovered in satellite communications
With $800 of off‐the‐shelf equipment and months' worth of patience, a team of U.S. computer scientists set out to find out how well geostationary satellite communications are encrypted. And what they found was shocking.
Medical Xpress / Drug-induced pneumonitis: The risk behind new cancer therapies
Advances in lung cancer treatment have changed survival in ways that were unimaginable even a decade ago. Targeted drugs, immunotherapies, and emerging antibody–drug conjugates are helping many patients live longer—and ...
Medical Xpress / Video: The truth about detoxes—by a liver specialist
Every January, the same wave of "detox" promises rolls in. Juice cleanses, detox teas, charcoal capsules and liver "resets" all sell a familiar story: you overdid it over Christmas, your body is full of toxins, and you need ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking immune cells in the brain can prevent infantile amnesia
Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile amnesia") and improves memory in mice, suggesting that microglia may actively manage memory formation ...
Phys.org / Reprogramming the cancer messenger: A new era of tumor extracellular vesicle engineering
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a modular platform to reprogram tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), transforming them from oncogenic messengers into safe, customizable drug delivery vehicles ...
Phys.org / Lifting magnetic fingerprints using scanning probe microscopy
A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground states using a new form of scanning probe microscopy.
