Phys.org / Rivers in the sky are driving stronger and more predictable floods, new study finds
A new study finds that the most intense and destructive rainstorms in Portugal, particularly those fueled by atmospheric rivers, are not the most chaotic but are among the most predictable. These events form within large, ...
Medical Xpress / New study shows faster recovery with minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment
A recent randomized clinical trial has found that men with localized, intermediate-risk prostate cancer recovered faster and experienced less short-term impact on their daily lives when treated with MRI-guided, transurethral ...
Phys.org / Physicists zero in on the mass of the fundamental W boson particle
When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the unknown. A particle that is just beyond its predicted mass can unravel scientists' assumptions about ...
Medical Xpress / Skin protein K16 found to control inflammation in stressed skin
Keratin is the fibrous, waterproof protein that builds everything from our hair and nails to a rhino's horn. However, a tiny glitch in it can have problematic outcomes. A new study has found that changes in a keratin gene ...
Phys.org / How Artemis II's Earthset photo compares with the iconic Earthrise image from 1968
As NASA's Artemis II mission completed its lunar flyby, the astronauts sent back a stunning image of the colorful Earth setting behind the moon. This breathtaking photo, called Earthset, draws inevitable comparisons with ...
Medical Xpress / Students publish paper validating optimal caffeine dosage for newborns with heart disease
Montana State University students published a paper alongside Duke University researchers in the Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics this spring, validating a study on the optimal caffeine dosage for newborn ...
Medical Xpress / The term 'alcoholic' conjures outdated stereotypes about an illness that afflicts 28 million Americans, says expert
People just aren't drinking the way they used to. "As recently as the late 1990s or early 2000s, 85% or more of high school seniors said they drank in the past year. Now that number is down to about 42%," said Kathryn McHugh, ...
Phys.org / Light tightens young pea stems, revealing a new brake on plant growth
Light has long been known to regulate plant growth. New research from Osaka Metropolitan University has discovered a new mechanism behind this regulation. A team led by Professor Kouichi Soga of the Graduate School of Science ...
Medical Xpress / Virus from seafood is linked to a persistent eye disease in humans
A virus that typically infects marine animals, such as shrimp and fish, has jumped to humans and is causing chronic eye disease in some people, according to a study published in the journal Nature Microbiology. In recent ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover Andromeda XXXVI, an ultra-faint dwarf satellite galaxy
By analyzing the data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PandAS), European astronomers have discovered a new satellite of the Andromeda galaxy. The newfound object, which received the designation Andromeda XXXVI, ...

Losing teeth might cause you to gain weight, a new study says.
Phys.org / GenAI could push consumer research toward generic, biased results
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is opening the door for more researchers to conduct consumer studies than ever before. But that same accessibility may push the field toward increasingly generic results—and ultimately ...
