Phys.org / Simulation may illuminate safer cannabinoid drugs
New psychoactive substances, originally developed as potential analgesics but abandoned due to adverse side effects, may still have pharmaceutical value if researchers could nail down the causes of those side effects. A ...
Medical Xpress / AI identifies key mpox protein for new vaccine and antibody therapies
With the help of artificial intelligence, an international team of researchers has made the first major inroad to date toward a new and more effective way to fight the monkeypox virus (MPXV), which causes a painful and sometimes ...
Medical Xpress / Canadian wildfire smoke worsened pediatric asthma in US Northeast, study shows
New research from the University of Vermont reveals exposure to smoke from Canadian wildfires in the summer of 2023 led to worsening asthma symptoms in children in Vermont and upstate New York.
Phys.org / The rhythm of swarms: Tunable particles synchronize movement like living organisms
A collaboration between the University of Konstanz and Forschungszentrum Jülich has achieved the first fully tunable experimental realization of a long predicted "swarmalator" system. The study, published in Nature Communications, ...
Medical Xpress / Genomic maps untangle the complex roots of disease
Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health.
Medical Xpress / Phase I trial finds breast cancer vaccine triggers an immune response and is safe
Cleveland Clinic researchers are presenting final Phase I data from their novel study of a vaccine aimed at preventing triple-negative breast cancer, the most aggressive and lethal form of the disease.
Phys.org / Estimating stellar-mass compact object accretion in AGN disks with a new method
A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with other researchers, has developed a new method to estimate how stellar-mass compact objects (COs)—including black ...
Phys.org / Horseshoe crab fossil reveals early mass-burial event and ancient microbial attack
A remarkably preserved horseshoe crab fossil from North America offers rare insight into some of the earliest known cases of animal disease in a Late Carboniferous swamp—some 50 to 70 million years before the age of dinosaurs.
Phys.org / Direct observation reveals 'two-in-one' roles of plasma turbulence
Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong magnetic fields. However, plasma naturally develops fluctuations known as turbulence, and they carry ...
Phys.org / How emotions spread online following celebrity suicide news
Reshare cascades on X (formerly Twitter) show how different expressed emotions unfold in the aftermath of celebrity suicides, according to a study published in PLOS One by Ehsan Nouri of the University of Virginia, U.S., ...
Medical Xpress / Early Parkinson's predictor found in daily step count
Oxford's Big Data Institute and Nuffield Department of Population Health report that daily step counts may help identify who will later be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, with lower activity patterns acting as an early ...
Phys.org / Satellite tracking helps map massive rupture of 2025 Myanmar earthquake
The March 28, 2025, Myanmar earthquake is giving scientists a rare look into how some of the world's most dangerous fault systems behave, including California's San Andreas Fault. Earthquakes are notoriously messy and complex, ...
