Medical Xpress / Occupational factors strongly influence long COVID risk, finds study
Work-related factors play a significant and independent role in the risk of developing long COVID, shows a new study based on the COVICAT cohort and led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) in collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / When neural spikes break time's symmetry: Linking the information-theoretic cost of brain activity to behavior
What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at fine-grained neuronal ...
Phys.org / Study uncovers new drug target for huge class of viruses
A study from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), published in Nature Communications, reveals how enteroviruses—including pathogens that cause polio, encephalitis, myocarditis, and the common cold—initiate ...
Phys.org / AI helps solve decades-old maze in frustrated magnet physics
By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the mathematical trickery that ...
Tech Xplore / UPS buys hundreds of robots to unload trucks in automation push
United Parcel Service Inc. will invest $120 million in 400 robots used to unload trucks, according to people familiar with the matter, revealing new details on the logistics giant's $9 billion automation plan that aims to ...
Phys.org / A subtle return of La Niña
A weak La Niña emerged in the equatorial Pacific in late 2025, and scientists are watching how it may help shape weather and climate in the months ahead.
Phys.org / Order from chaos: The emergence of photon 'swirling' in disordered nanometric systems
An international research team reports the discovery of "hidden order" in systems that are disordered in space and time. The paper is published in the journal Nature Materials.
Phys.org / There are fewer online trolls than people think
Americans overestimate online toxicity, believing 43% of Reddit users post severely toxic comments when only 3% actually do, and this misperception inculcates pessimism about society.
