Medical Xpress / Your gut bacteria make a molecule that fights a leading cause of food poisoning
What if something produced naturally by your gut bacteria could help fight a dangerous foodborne pathogen? Researchers in Michigan State University's Department of Microbiology, Genetics, & Immunology may have found just ...
Phys.org / Dual findings reveal how to control coherence in plasmonic nanolasers
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have uncovered two complementary mechanisms that govern coherence in miniaturized lasers composed of metallic nanoparticle arrays incorporated into an optical gain material, ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Toxic algae can pose a hidden danger to dogs swimming in freshwater
Diving into cool water can be a quick way to escape the summer heat, but during certain times of year, freshwater can pose hidden dangers to people and pets.
Medical Xpress / Early changes in the tumor environment may explain why immunotherapy works for some patients but not others
Two patients receive the same immunotherapy for the same cancer. In one, the tumor retreats and stays gone for years. In the other, the treatment does nothing. Oncologists still have no reliable way to tell these patients ...
Phys.org / Spring-like porous crystals could enable chemically responsive microscale materials
Crystals are usually imagined as rigid objects with flat faces and straight edges. A research team led by the University of Osaka has recently created a porous crystal that grows into a spring-like helix. The team also found ...
Tech Xplore / AI doomsday warnings unlikely to slow IPOs, but questions linger
Anthropic is expected to beat rival OpenAI to the public markets with a blockbuster IPO later this year despite recent doomsday warnings, but questions remain about their business models and whether regulators should step ...
Tech Xplore / Why AI consciousness could become the next great societal divide
The debate about AI consciousness is growing in academic articles, newspaper opinion pieces and even among AI bots themselves. I doubt this is a passing wave of interest.
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug shows potential for hard-to-treat heart disease
An experimental drug has been shown to improve symptoms, exercise capacity and heart failure status in patients with an inherited heart disease, according to a pair of newly published studies.
Phys.org / Speedy electrons for brilliant laser light: Research paves the way for compact, inexpensive free-electron lasers
Extremely short, intense light flashes are in high demand to investigate atoms, molecules and new materials. Free-electron lasers (FELs) produce these flashes. But around the world, beam time available at large-scale user ...
Tech Xplore / DNA computer performs 100-bit calculations using heat, water and salt
Researchers at Maynooth University (MU) have developed a first-of-its-kind DNA computer, described as one of the most complex and fastest molecular computers yet reported.
Phys.org / Heat-related lost labor emerges as a major cost of carbon emissions
As the climate warms, people are more exposed to heat stress, which depresses productivity and the global economy. A study from the University of California, Davis, quantifies the cost of heat stress on global labor.
