Tech Xplore / EU admits it can't save discontinued video games
It's game over for fans of discontinued video games after the EU admitted defeat Tuesday and said it cannot stop publishers from making them unplayable.
Phys.org / Ultrafast laser pulses reveal a material's hidden state of matter
What would it take to instantly transform a material from an electrical insulator into a conductive state without ever touching it? Using ultrafast laser pulses and powerful X-rays, scientists at the National Synchrotron ...
Phys.org / Politics in the logistics mix: How tariffs and polarization alter corporate supply chains
How do political ideology and perceived ideological alignment influence supply chain professionals' evaluation of operational decisions involving politically charged macroeconomic issues such as tariffs?
Phys.org / Pixels preserve world's rarest porpoise to 3D digital archive as extinction risk grows
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus), an elusive porpoise found only in the shallow waters of Mexico's northern Gulf of California, is one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals on Earth. Measuring about 5 feet (1.5 meters) ...
Phys.org / Chemists reveal one-step 'alkyl swap' that rewrites key amines for drug discovery
For more than a century, chemists have been building complex molecules step by step—bond by bond, atom by atom. But what if, instead of painstakingly reassembling molecules, they could be directly "rewritten"? This is exactly ...
Tech Xplore / Microsoft launches AI agent with pay-as-you-go pricing
Microsoft is changing how it charges for its software for the first time in two decades, moving to bill customers with a pay-as-you-go model each time they use its new AI agent.
Phys.org / Reforestation's effects on water resources may depend on global warming level
Planting trees is widely promoted as a natural solution to climate change. But a new study led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences finds that the hydrological consequences ...
Medical Xpress / Tirzepatide outperformed semaglutide weight-loss drug results in real world patients, study shows
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become popular for weight loss, but results vary from person to person and from drug to drug. Venky Soundararajan and colleagues explored the full range of responses ...
Medical Xpress / Nonsurgical procedure provides lasting relief for knee pain, finds study
Embolization of abnormal blood vessels using rapidly resorbable gelatin-based microspheres is safe and provides significant, lasting pain relief and functional improvement for patients with osteoarthritis-related knee pain, ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Engineering crop resilience to heat and drought may help reverse climate change
Heat waves are arriving sooner and becoming hotter, with the United Kingdom recording May 25 as its hottest day in May since tracking began more than a century ago, only for the record to be broken again the next day. While ...
Phys.org / New imaging technique measures single scramblase proteins, revealing lipid transport rates
A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, which have critical roles in biology. The development of the new technique, in a study led by investigators ...
Medical Xpress / How scientific progress is changing our understanding of the biology of aging
As recently as the mid-20th century, aging was described by Nobel Prize laureate Peter Medawar as "an unsolved problem in biology." Today, scientists can analyze the activity of thousands of genes in individual cells, identify ...
