Phys.org / Nanobody repairs misfolded CFTR inside cells, boosting function in cystic fibrosis
A tiny antibody component could fundamentally transform the treatment of cystic fibrosis: For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing a so-called nanobody that penetrates directly into human cells and can ...
Medical Xpress / Giving a voice to vocal fold regeneration—uncovering a new map of stem-like cells
The larynx, also known as the voice box, is home to the vocal folds and is the reason people can talk and sing while manipulating pitch and volume. The vocal folds are covered with mucosa, or mucous membranes.
Tech Xplore / AI chatbot teaches AI 'student' to love owls, even after data is scrubbed
Large language models (LLMs) can teach other algorithms unwanted traits, which can persist even when training data has been scrubbed of the original trait, according to new research published in Nature. In one example, a ...
Tech Xplore / AI 'agent' fever comes with lurking security threats
Artificial intelligence "agents" promise to save users time and energy by automating tasks, but the growing power of systems like OpenClaw is setting cybersecurity experts on edge.
Phys.org / Warmer streams may be draining river food webs by sending more carbon into the air
Rising stream temperatures may be weakening the foundation of river food webs by altering how carbon moves through these watery ecosystems. In a new study published in the journal Ecosphere, researchers from Northern Arizona ...
Phys.org / A newly recognized pollutant is widely present in the atmosphere
A new study shows that a specific type of silicone, the so-called methylsiloxanes, is widely present in the atmosphere across diverse environments. Also, concentrations appear to be much higher than expected. According to ...
Tech Xplore / Can we hear lost voices again? System can convert invisible vocal movements into audible words
Hearing words even when spoken in silence—a new technology has been developed that reads the subtle movements of neck muscles using light and employs AI to restore them into actual voices. A research team led by Professor ...
Phys.org / As modern crops turn 'lazy' underground, old sorghum may hold key to future food security
A greater focus on roots during plant breeding could ensure staple grain crops continue to feed the world as recycled nutrients substitute conventional fertilizers in the future, a University of Queensland study published ...
Phys.org / Patagonia yields 155-million-year-old long-necked dinosaur with links to two famous lineages
A German–Argentine team of paleontologists led by SNSB dinosaur expert Oliver Rauhut has discovered a new long-necked dinosaur, Bicharracosaurus dionidei, from the Upper Jurassic period in Argentina, dating back approximately ...
Medical Xpress / New mouse model reveals why chronic muscle inflammation resists standard drugs
An international research team with the participation of researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has developed a mouse model that offers new insights into the development of a rare but serious ...
Tech Xplore / Transparent cooling film cuts car cabin temperature by 6.1°C without electricity
A transparent radiative cooling film technology that dissipates heat directly to the outside without consuming electricity has been developed to reduce vehicle overheating during summer. The technology was validated through ...
Phys.org / Volunteers discover rare space weather events using their ears
Our planet rests inside a magnetic cocoon filled with plasma—but it's not always peaceful and quiet. Activity from the sun can send waves through this space, and some of those disturbances can even reach Earth, affecting ...
