Phys.org / Observations link solar flare pulsations to repeated magnetic reconnection
A new study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) links quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) in solar flares to dynamic oscillations in magnetic reconnection, a phenomenon that can drive space weather and affect technology ...
Medical Xpress / Rethinking long-term allergy treatments: Experimental vaccine protects against anaphylaxis in mice
Researchers led by the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris, have developed a vaccine that elicits anti-Immunoglobulin E antibodies in humanized mice, protects against Immunoglobulin E-mediated anaphylaxis, and shows no detectable ...
Medical Xpress / Psychedelics can disrupt normal link between brain's neuronal activity and blood flow
Psilocybin is a psychedelic drug with promising clinical applications for treating mood disorders and substance abuse disorders. Recent work in functional MRI (fMRI) studies show that psychedelics can reset brain network ...
Medical Xpress / Disarming cancer stem cells' shield makes immunotherapy more effective
Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, it works very well in shrinking tumors and sending cancer into remission, an undetectable state of ...
Phys.org / Mosquito vectors of malaria rapidly develop resistance against new generation insecticides, study finds
More than half a million people, the vast majority being children under the age of 5, die annually due to malaria, with Sub-Saharan Africa as the most highly burdened region. Mosquitoes belonging to the genus Anopheles carry ...
Phys.org / Triturus newts reveal a genetic balancing act
An evolutionary "trap" has haunted crested and marbled newts for 25 million years: Leiden researchers have uncovered a mysterious DNA error that should not be able to arise—yet persists all the same. How is that possible? ...
Tech Xplore / EVs pose no greater risk to pedestrians than conventional vehicles, study indicates
Electric vehicles (EVs) are no more dangerous to pedestrians than traditional petrol or diesel cars, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Cooperative intermolecular interactions regulate supramolecular polymer assembly
Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into one-dimensional polymeric structures ...
Phys.org / Female Galápagos seabirds have flings—and males seem OK with it
Perched on a plastic chair overlooking a colony of Nazca boobies in the Galápagos Islands, researcher David Anderson carefully studied the seabirds.
Phys.org / Molten metal nano-droplets reveal new hybrid state of matter where solids meet liquids
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including the formation of an unusual ...
Phys.org / DNA confirms modern Bo people are descendants of ancient Hanging Coffin culture
In a recent study, researcher Dr. Hui Zhou and his colleagues conducted a genetic analysis of the genomes of individuals associated with the ancient Hanging Coffin tradition in Southeast and Southern Asia. In addition, they ...
Phys.org / Chaotic 3D currents form multiple microplastic 'attractors' beneath the ocean surface, study finds
The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles may accumulate below the ocean surface remains unknown. The vastness of the ocean means particle ...
