Astronomers have spotted one of the oldest "dead" galaxies yet identified, and found that a growing supermassive black hole can slowly starve a galaxy rather than tear it apart.
Phys.org / Measuring movement creates a new way to map indoor air pollution
University of Birmingham scientists have developed a new way of measuring and analyzing indoor air pollution that—in initial trials—has established a clear link between office occupancy, physical activity, and air quality.
Phys.org / DNA from wolf pup's last meal reveals new facts about woolly rhino's extinction
The woolly rhino, Coelodonta antiquitatis, would have been an impressive sight to the ancient people who painted images of them on cave walls and carved figurines of them out of bone, antler, ivory and wood.

Phys.org / Two new exoplanets and the need for new habitable zone definitions
At the beginning of the exoplanet age, the goals were fairly simple. The first was to find as many of them as possible to flesh out our understanding of the exoplanet population. The second was to determine if any were in ...
Phys.org / Greening school playgrounds can improve quality of life in cities and help deal with climate change
Adapting urban spaces to tackle climate change through nature-based solutions, especially in school playgrounds and environments, benefits both children and society as a whole. This is one of the main findings of a three-year ...
Medical Xpress / From immune evasion to activation: A new cancer vaccine strategy
A research team led by Professor Chen Peng from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University has developed a novel cancer immunotherapy strategy that forces tumors to expose themselves to the immune ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar structures on kidney cells predict immune therapy response, study finds
Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These antibodies activate the immune system and enable T cells to detect and destroy tumor cells.
Phys.org / Rethinking climate impacts through human well-being
A new study by IIASA researchers offers a pioneering way to understand how climate change affects people's lives over the long term. Using a global model and the Years of Good Life (YoGL) metric, the research shows that today's ...
