Phys.org / Elite MBAs still influence who reaches the top of corporate America, study shows
New research from the University of Bath shows that graduates of elite MBA programs, particularly the so-called M7 super elite US schools, are significantly more likely to become top management team members and CEOs than ...
Medical Xpress / Teen substance use linked to peer pressure and well-being, study finds
Researchers at The University of Manchester have identified a range of key risk and protective factors influencing whether young people vape, drink alcohol, smoke or use drugs. Based on data from more than 30,000 pupils aged ...
Medical Xpress / Key protein may explain why triple-negative breast cancer spreads so fast
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a protein that plays a central role in enabling aggressive breast cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body. Triple-negative breast cancer remains ...
Phys.org / New study finds 12- to 17-year-olds willing to engage in democracy, but feel anxious, unheard, distrustful of politics
A major new U.K. study of 12- to 17-year-olds finds that, while most adolescents say they would vote and are interested in politics, their willingness to engage is linked to their anxiety about the future, low trust in political ...
Phys.org / Using computed tomography to study DNA from ancient humans without destroying samples
Research on ancient DNA is surging, but how can scientists ensure that human remains of irreplaceable significance are preserved? This is the question investigated by an international research team led by the University of ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondria keep key immune cells battle-ready by sustaining electron flow, study reveals
Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) show that active mitochondria maintain dendritic cells, the immune system's sentinels, in a "ready-to-respond" state, linking cellular ...
Phys.org / Fluorescent technique reveals hidden scale of microfiber pollution from our clothes
Pollution released from our textiles is smaller and more irregular in shape than previously thought, according to new research led by The University of Manchester. In a study published in Scientific Reports, Manchester researchers—in ...
Medical Xpress / Immune system uses a conveyor belt-like process to edit defective antibodies, new research finds
The immune system's B cells create antibodies that can mount a response against just about anything—either destroying a pathogen or instructing the rest of the immune system to go after the offender. But what happens when ...
Medical Xpress / As RSV evolves, a two‑pronged antibody cocktail aims to stay ahead
Scientists in China have developed a two-antibody cocktail to treat respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, that in laboratory studies prevented the virus from developing drug resistance—a persistent problem with current therapies ...
Tech Xplore / Electric vehicles could be key to more efficient home energy use
An Australian study has found that electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology can significantly reduce household electricity costs and lessen the need for large, costly home battery systems. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Glaciers may flow into the ocean more quickly than we think
Models of glacial flow and retreat rely on estimates of glacial ice viscosity, the measure of the ice's resistance to flow. Ice viscosity is dependent on the stress applied to the glacier. Most ice sheet models use a standard ...
Phys.org / Shredded stars reveal how black holes ignite trillion-sun flares
Supermassive black holes are among the most enigmatic objects in the universe. They typically weigh millions or even billions of times the mass of the sun and sit at the centers of most large galaxies. At the heart of the ...
