Phys.org / Engineered bacteria can consume tumors from the inside out
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the tumor, finding an environment ...
Tech Xplore / Report recommends 'net neutrality for AI'
Innovation in artificial intelligence applications, including the rising tide of AI agents, is based on startups accessing AI foundation models offered by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Each of these companies also competes ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover 10 new species of Hawaiian moths
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers identified 10 new species and seven new groups (genera) of Hawaiian leaf-roller moths. While new species are frequently discovered, the description of a new genus of insects is ...
Phys.org / Which cell measurements matter most? AI tool helps researchers see the bigger picture
Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many layers, so how the biologist ...
Tech Xplore / Soft-robotic glove uses 37 actuators to cut hand swelling by up to 25%
A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema. The glove, known as EdemaFlex, was proven safe ...
Phys.org / Deforestation leads to more extreme weather events in the Amazon region
From a bird's eye view, the Amazon rainforest appears as a lush green mosaic of treetops stretching as far as the eye can see. It is home to countless animal and plant species, many of which are endemic, and the forest plays ...
Medical Xpress / South Australian children at risk of permanent vision loss, study finds
There is a significant gap in South Australia's approach to children's vision screening, with hundreds of children at risk of permanent, preventable vision loss each year, new Flinders University research has found. Led by ...
Tech Xplore / AI analysis finds sunnier sites and compact layouts cut solar's land footprint
As solar energy is rapidly becoming the world's largest renewable power source, new research from McGill University offers a clearer picture of how much land that growth could require and how smarter choices could mitigate ...
Phys.org / AI gets water right: How a hydration shield helps proteins keep their shape
A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reports that artificial intelligence can enhance protein stability in an unexpected way—by engineering the water around a protein, not just the protein itself. ...
Phys.org / Peatland lakes in Congo Basin release carbon that is thousands of years old
Researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered for the first time that large blackwater lakes in the extensive peatlands of the central Congo Basin are releasing ancient carbon. To date, climate researchers had assumed that ...
Phys.org / Predicting extreme rainfall through novel spatial modeling
Japan is an archipelago with diverse climate zones and complex topography that is prone to heavy rain and flooding. Add the growing effects of global warming. These disaster risks are heightened with an increased frequency ...
Phys.org / Twisting optical fiber creates a robust new pathway for light
Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University of Cambridge and international ...
