Phys.org / Hidden dark force may slow cosmic structure growth, not speed it up
Dark matter is often portrayed as a cosmic loner, interacting with itself and the rest of the universe only through gravity. But what if dark matter particles also exert a hidden force on one another?
Medical Xpress / Immune cell–fibroblast crosstalk may be the key trigger of autoimmune diseases
In autoimmune disorders, immune cells targeting "self" proteins are mistakenly activated, resulting in abnormal expansion and responsiveness. These disorders are known to reduce patients' quality of life over a prolonged ...
Medical Xpress / Bandage-like device delivers hydrogen sulfide to wounds, boosting blood flow where healing stalls
For most people, a blister or small cut is an inconvenience. For others, it can become something much more serious.
Tech Xplore / Top developers are pivoting from chatbots to physical AI
Computer scientist Louis Castricato was in his eighth year studying large language models—the artificial intelligence technology behind chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude—when he started to feel like he was hitting a dead end.
Phys.org / AI shopping cart users rack up higher basket values and spend longer in store, research finds
Shoppers who use shopping carts embedded with digital screens to assist trips to the supermarket spend up to a third more than those who do not, according to new research by Bayes Business School.
Medical Xpress / Prime-and-pull vaccine may offer lasting genital herpes protection
Genital herpes is a lifelong infection. While available treatments can manage symptoms, they cannot cure the infection or prevent transmission. Now, Yale School of Medicine researchers have taken a significant step toward ...
Phys.org / Plasma approach keeps catalysts working for longer in hydrogen production
Scientists from the University of Manchester have shown how a plasma-based approach, using nonthermal plasma—an electrically energized gas often described as the fourth state of matter—can prevent catalyst deactivation in ...
Phys.org / Europe's extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say
The record-breaking heat that's scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University ...
Medical Xpress / Intravesical CAR T therapy opens door to bladder-sparing cancer treatment
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed genetically engineered CAR T cells that specifically target and kill bladder cancer cells. The ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted IL-15 drug in patient testing revives exhausted T cells without triggering severe inflammation
For some people, cancer immunotherapies are life-changing. These treatments can turn the body's own immune system against a tumor, either eliminating it or shrinking it enough to make surgery possible. But these therapies ...
Phys.org / Scientists design 'tunable' biomolecules to probe how sugars behave
Sugars are not just a source of energy—they also play a crucial role in how cells communicate, how proteins interact and how materials behave in medicine and industry. But studying these processes is challenging because sugar ...
