From social media to the streets of Washington, D.C., the organized white nationalist movement has become more visible in the United States over the past few decades. But the extent of this extremist movement's appeal to ...
Phys.org / Scaling up the detection of genome-edited rice lines
A new open-access study introduces RiSpy, a data-driven fingerprinting framework that makes the identification of genome-edited (GE) rice lines more robust, scalable and broadly applicable. Researchers from Sciensano, together ...
Phys.org / Motivational traits may help explain why some people report greater well-being
"People who are determined, passionate and believe in their ability to improve appear more likely to flourish and experience meaningful, engaging lives," says Professor Hermundur Sigmundsson at NTNU's Department of Psychology.
Medical Xpress / AI estimates retinal age, revealing sex-specific aging patterns and links to disease risk
A team from the Department of Computational Biology at the University of Lausanne has developed an artificial intelligence model capable of estimating a person's retinal age from a simple photograph of the back of the eye. ...
Medical Xpress / A new AI-powered test offers more accurate prediction of breast cancer recurrence risk
A new study published in the journal npj Breast Cancer demonstrates that an artificial intelligence (AI) model offers more accurate predictions of recurrence risk in patients with early-stage breast cancer than the widely ...
Phys.org / Heat-stable enzyme from deep-sea microbe turns nitrogen gas into ammonia
Microorganisms can do remarkable things—for example, nitrogen fixation, the conversion of nitrogen gas (N₂) into a form that organisms can use. Although nitrogen gas makes up around 78% of Earth's atmosphere, plants and animals ...
Phys.org / AI reveals novel nighttime feeding behaviors in right whales
Right whales forage near the water's surface at night, putting them at greater risk of potentially fatal collisions with boats, Jay Kirkham at Dalhousie University, Canada, and colleagues report Sept. 16, 2026, in the journal ...
Medical Xpress / Hiring more specialists alone won't fix long wait times—and may make them worse
A new analysis published in NEJM Catalyst finds that the standard response to growing specialist wait times—hiring more physicians—is unlikely to solve the problem on its own and may even worsen it. The article, "Reducing ...
Medical Xpress / Women less likely than men to be offered active medical treatment for the same conditions
New research from the University of St Andrews has found that women are less likely than men with the same medical condition to be offered active management such as surgery, a stent or a strong painkiller.
Medical Xpress / A blind retina isn't silent—and its noise may hinder efforts to restore sight
When retinitis pigmentosa takes a person's sight, the standard clinical test goes flat: no response, no signal, nothing. Yet the retina behind that flat line is anything but quiet.
Phys.org / Light lets microswimmers switch between bacteria-like and algae-like propulsion
Physicists at Leipzig University and Charles University in Prague have developed a method for changing the swimming style of tiny artificial microswimmers in real time. They can make a single microscopic particle switch at ...
Medical Xpress / HIV injections work better than tablets for young people, clinical trial finds
Young people living with HIV manage their condition better when their antiretroviral therapy is given by injections every eight weeks rather than daily tablets, according to results of a trial in Africa led by UCL (University ...
