Phys.org / Getting the jump on evolution: Cane toads adapt at speed
A new study comparing invasive cane toads in Japan and Australia has found substantial changes in body size and shape have developed much more rapidly than suggested by long-held ideas of the pace of evolution. Researchers ...
Phys.org / ATLAS sets record limits on Higgs boson's self-interaction
One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This "self-coupling" could help explain the evolution of the early universe and the mechanism that gives mass to elementary ...
Phys.org / Millions of atoms, shifting bonds—new software brings living chemistry into view
Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under certain conditions. However, many of these processes occur on extremely small scales—so small and ...
Phys.org / Hidden nest cameras debunk long-standing myth about how cuckoos lay their eggs
An international team of ornithologists has overturned one of the oldest assumptions in natural history by directly documenting how common cuckoos lay their eggs in host nests located inside cavities. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / A blueprint for holistic cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead management and lifelong patient safety
New evidence on cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) lead management and the burgeoning development of new CIED technologies have contributed to the field's rapid evolution in the last decade. The new "2026 ...
Medical Xpress / Optimal sleep may reduce dementia risk in patients with focal epilepsy
Optimal sleep duration is associated with better executive function, with a significantly higher impact of optimal sleep among those with focal epilepsy, according to a study published online April 22 in Neurology.
Phys.org / Each protein in the epigenome produces a different pattern of gene expression, study finds
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off. Essentially, each type of protein that interacts with a gene produces different behaviors—a ...
Medical Xpress / Seven days without plastic contact slashes phthalates and bisphenols in body
A clinical trial investigating levels of plastic chemicals in the human body has found that a low-plastic diet could be a fast and effective way to reduce exposure.
Medical Xpress / Autoantibody map uncovers body-wide immune attacks across Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and MS
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil discovered that neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis, are more complex than previously thought. Their analysis of ...
Medical Xpress / Less than half of pregnant women with opioid use disorder receive meds
Less than half of pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive medications for OUD (MOUD) during pregnancy, according to a study published online April 22 in Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Tech Xplore / Tesla begins robotaxi production, with Cybercab ramp expected to accelerate by year-end
Tesla's much-touted autonomous "robotaxi," called the Cybercab, has started production, CEO Elon Musk said on Friday, the same week that the carmaker reported first-quarter profits that beat expectations.
Phys.org / Could warming seas bring great white sharks back to the North Sea? A 5‑million‑year‑old shark tooth may provide clues
As Earth shifts to climates not seen for several hundred thousand years, we may need to look at ancient environments for clues about what could happen next.
