Medical Xpress / New AI tool could replace costly cancer gene expression profiling
A team led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators has created a faster, cheaper way to determine the genes expressed in cancerous tumors. The AI-based tool, which they describe in the journal Cell, could ...
Phys.org / Falling space debris poses an escalating risk as spacecraft get stronger and more heat resistant
When it comes to space debris, what goes up is coming down more often—and not safely.
Phys.org / Atomic bands in two transition metal dichalcogenides hint at long-theorized quantum state
Insulators are materials in which electrons cannot move freely. Past theoretical studies predicted the existence of an unusual insulating state dubbed obstructed atomic insulator (OAI), in which electrons are localized inside ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods tied to nearly fourfold asthma risk in children
Children who get more than 30% of their daily energy from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), such as soda drinks, packaged snacks, and sweetened breakfast cereals, have a nearly fourfold risk of developing asthma in their early ...
Phys.org / Scientists identify hidden accelerant in Antarctic ice loss
For years, scientists have warned that melting Antarctic ice could push sea levels dangerously higher by the end of this century. But a new study led by University of Maryland scientist Madeleine Youngs suggests those warnings ...
Medical Xpress / Weight-loss drugs tied to lower death, recurrence risk after breast cancer
New research published in JAMA Network Open suggests that there is a positive association between GLP-1 agonists—drugs commonly used to treat obesity and diabetes—and better outcomes among breast cancer patients.
Phys.org / Lobster embryo microbiomes remain resilient in future ocean conditions, sequencing reveals
As ocean temperatures rise and marine ecosystems change, scientists are working to understand how valuable species like the American lobster will respond. New research from William & Mary's Batten School of Coastal & Marine ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves from colliding black holes may allow detection of dark matter
Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is through gravity. If two colliding black holes spiral through a dense region of dark matter and merge, ...
Medical Xpress / Why teen health visits still lack privacy, even when most parents support it
While most parents say it's important for health care providers to speak privately with teens during checkups, far fewer are putting that belief into practice, according to a new national poll.
Phys.org / Liquid crystals enable on‑demand skyrmion formation at room temperature
Researchers have recently found a new way to summon useful structures in magnetic materials using light, heat, and electric fields. This new method, described in a new study published in Physical Review Letters, may lead ...
Medical Xpress / Fear memories fade faster when brain immune cells engage key neurons, study suggests
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders are often characterized by fearful responses in specific situations that the mind learns to view as threatening. These fearful responses typically emerge following ...
Phys.org / Images: NASA's Perseverance captures panorama at 'Arbot'
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture this panorama of an area nicknamed "Arbot" on April 5, 2026, the 1,882nd Martian day (sol) of the mission, during the rover's deepest push west beyond Jezero ...
