Phys.org / Exposing the hidden toll of litigation
A James Cook University study is challenging the belief that the greatest cost of going to court is losing a case, arguing the legal process itself can leave lasting psychological scars.
Phys.org / Risks of debris between the Earth and the moon for future exploration
Cislunar space has become the focal point of considerable interest and strategic planning because of the many proposed missions to send crews to the moon in the next decade. These include NASA's Artemis program, China and ...
Phys.org / Finding order in the inner chaos of our cells: Shape-shifting proteins get a design tool
The vast majority of proteins in our bodies contain regions that are in a constant state of wiggling, shape-shifting every few nanoseconds to completely change how they look. Information on how these shape-shifting proteins ...
Medical Xpress / Climate change is redrawing the malaria map in Africa, study finds
Malaria is the deadliest climate-sensitive infectious disease. Yet researchers and public health officials have long argued over how climate change has shaped its spread. A new Nature study resolves this debate, providing ...
Phys.org / Oil beetle larvae smell like flowers to manipulate bees and sneak into their nests
For the first time, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany, has demonstrated that insects can mimic floral scents to manipulate pollinators.
Phys.org / Where have all the wasps gone this summer?
Summer can be lovely—until a wasp turns up. Whether they present as an irritating picnic visitor or an uninvited attic guest, common social wasps are as much a part of our summer as festivals, sunscreen and the growing despair ...
Medical Xpress / Two post-surgery blood–brain disruption windows may offer glioblastoma treatment targets
Scientists in Britain and Spain have discovered critical windows after glioblastoma surgery when the brain's defenses falter, creating a rare chance to deliver powerful treatments exactly where needed. If doctors time treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Will dietary fiber help digestion? It might depend on your gut bacteria
Doctors recommend dietary fiber for healthy digestion, but to benefit from it, people not only need specific species of gut bacteria but also the right strains of those bacteria to process the starches, according to a new ...
Medical Xpress / Gut microbe's protective coating links intestinal colonization to lower inflammation
The human gut harbors more than 40 trillion bacteria assembled into complex communities collectively known as the gut microbiota, which is closely linked to human health and disease. Mediterraneibacter gnavus (formerly Ruminococcus ...
Phys.org / A way to read quantum bits faster and with less hardware
Quantum computers process information in a fundamentally different way from conventional computers, using quantum bits, or qubits, that can exist in multiple states at once. This could allow them to tackle problems beyond ...
Phys.org / Like a molecular shrink ray, AI tool redesigns proteins without sacrificing function
Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence framework that can redesign proteins on a scale previously seen only in natural evolution. The tool can create shorter, longer and ...
Medical Xpress / Gene editing tool reduces Huntington's toxic protein fragments and symptoms in mice
A gene-editing tool designed to precisely rewrite the gene that causes Huntington's disease reduced toxic protein fragments and symptoms associated with the disease in mice, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
