Tech Xplore / 3D-printable material can heal the body, build better robots and recover critical minerals
A new type of 3D-printable material developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin mimics human tissue's ability to sort and filter, allowing certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out. This ...
Phys.org / Why and how birdsong differs across the world—and the eight motifs that tie them together
Birdsong carries meaning across open space, helping birds attract mates, defend territory and communicate with rivals. While there has been much research into the use of birdsong across species, researchers have lacked a ...
Phys.org / Climate change and social concerns could drive more radical protests
Around the world, hundreds of thousands of people engage in conventional protests—and sometimes more radical forms of action—in the face of environmental change, harms to animals and nature, and climate inaction.
Phys.org / Moth wings reveal an unexpected ability to smell plant chemicals
Insect wings are bristling with senses, feeling the wind blowing and even tasting potential mates, but little was known about whether moth wings are equipped with a sense of smell. Sonja Bisch-Knaden and Bill Hansson from ...
Phys.org / AI and robotics accelerate search for better gut microbiome therapies
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a method for systematically developing novel, complex combinations of probiotics and prebiotics to more effectively maintain gut health and treat various gastrointestinal ...

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook Japan 's southern main island of Kyushu on Tuesday, leaving dozens of people injured or missing after part of a shopping center and a huge chimney at a paper factory collapsed, officials said. ...
Medical Xpress / What to know about postpartum psychosis, which can affect a new mom's sense of reality
A key question in a Massachusetts murder trial is whether postpartum psychosis drove a mother to kill her three children.
Tech Xplore / Faster fracture tests offer path to more sustainable material choices
Recycled materials promise a cleaner future, but recycled content alone does not necessarily make a product sustainable. At Georgia Tech's Daedalus Lab, assistant professor Christos Athanasiou and postdoctoral researcher ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer care costs are high and vary substantially by cancer type and stage
A large new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Cancer Institute finds that cancer-related health care expenses continue to be high for older adults, varying substantially by cancer ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds new weak spot linked to DNA repair in aggressive, drug-resistant cancers
A new way for hard-to-treat cancer cells to protect themselves from being killed by anticancer drugs has been found. The novel method involves tumors hijacking specific defenses for repairing damaged DNA, which are easier ...
Phys.org / Twisted laser light distinguishes mirror-image molecules by their fragment counts
Many molecules exist in two mirror-image forms—like left and right hands—that look identical but can behave very differently, especially in biological systems and pharmaceuticals. Distinguishing between these enantiomers ...
Science X / Inside 530-million-year-old embryos, scientists uncover rare time-lapse of early animal growth
Think of a small fossil as the equivalent of a homemade video of prehistoric life. Fossils formed when sea organisms began their great proliferation more than half a billion years ago rarely contained anything but tough structures. ...
