Phys.org / Jurassic sea monster was smaller than once thought, but no less formidable
For more than 25 years, Liopleurodon has been one of the world's most recognizable prehistoric marine predators. Immortalized in the BBC's landmark Walking with Dinosaurs series as a colossal 25-meter (82-foot) marine hunter, ...
Tech Xplore / Two million cars with anti-theft systems installed by dealers are at higher risk of theft
At least 2.2 million cars on the road today are vulnerable to an attack that allows thieves to lock and unlock doors and immobilize vehicle engines remotely via a Bluetooth connection, computer scientists at the University ...
Phys.org / AI‑designed gene‑editing enzymes expand the CRISPR toolbox
Scientists have made many advances using traditional CRISPR technology, especially in medicine, but they are now seeking ways to create genuinely new gene-editing enzymes with properties that have not already evolved naturally. ...
Phys.org / Cone snail venom peptide could enable injectable non-opioid pain relief
An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has investigated a new peptide derived from cone snail venom that significantly reduced inflammation-induced pain in an animal model. Crucially, its effect ...
Medical Xpress / Viagra may reduce cancer metastasis, study shows
Viagra was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, but over the past three decades it has become the world's best-known therapy for erectile dysfunction. ...
Phys.org / Cosmic gymnastics: How the Milky Way once underwent a dramatic flip
The Milky Way may have undergone a dramatic change in orientation during its history, according to new research that helps explain a long-standing mystery about our galaxy. Using supercomputer simulations of galaxies like ...
Phys.org / Antarctic 12-m Terahertz Telescope project to uncover hidden galaxy formation
A new simulation study suggests that the Antarctic 12-m Terahertz Telescope (ATT12), a next-generation facility led by University of Tsukuba, could uncover between 1 and 10 million dusty star-forming galaxies throughout cosmic ...
Phys.org / Scientists use dual-frequency images to explore black hole plasma physics
The first-ever image of a black hole—a glowing, ring-like structure at the heart of galaxy M87—was unveiled to the world in a landmark moment in 2019. Now, researchers have taken the next big step—moving beyond capturing ...
Phys.org / Novel antibiotic candidates starve resistant bacteria by blocking vitamin supply
Bacteria have spent decades evolving resistance to virtually every antibiotic we have thrown at them. To stay ahead, new drugs must hit targets that existing antibiotics have never touched. A research team at the Helmholtz ...
Medical Xpress / Thymus-derived hormone may suppress age-related inflammation and boost cancer therapy
Chronic, low-grade inflammation in the body—a phenomenon known as "inflammaging" because it increases with age—has been linked to many of today's leading causes of illness and death, including cancer, heart disease, metabolic ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-robust acoustic chip can handle 12 times more power for 6G and satellite links
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel chip architecture that enables the miniature acoustic devices inside smartphones to withstand more than 12 times higher power ...
Phys.org / New simulation challenges leading explanation for why galaxies stop forming stars
For decades, astronomers have cast galaxy mergers as the universe's ultimate relationship drama: two galaxies collide, chaos erupts, black holes awaken and star formation comes to a screeching halt. Upending this long-held ...
