Medical Xpress / Sonodynamic therapy is safe and well-tolerated in high-grade gliomas, first-in-human trial suggests
High-grade gliomas, especially glioblastoma (GBM) and others, remain among the most aggressive brain cancers, with few effective treatment options after the tumor recurs. Even with maximal surgical resection, radiotherapy, ...
Phys.org / Wolves kill—and ravens remember where
When a wolf pack runs down its prey, the first on the scene is often the raven. Even before the predators have had time to dig in, the ravens are already in line, waiting to take advantage of the odd scrap of meat that becomes ...
Medical Xpress / Predictive AI tools can enable early detection of intimate partner violence
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that uses machine learning to identify individuals who may be at risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) using information ...
Phys.org / An interstellar comet packed with alcohol? What ALMA found in 3I/ATLAS
Comet 3I/ATLAS continues to make astonishing headlines, thanks to new findings from astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This new research reveals that 3I/ATLAS is packed with an unusually ...
Medical Xpress / Uncovering HIV's hidden loop: New finding offers hope for future treatments
For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has unlocked one of the reasons ...
Phys.org / As CO₂ rose in a warm ancient climate, study shows El Niño peaked then weakened
The Miocene, beginning approximately 23 million years ago, represents a canonical "warm-Earth" interval characterized by elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer global climate. The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), as ...
Phys.org / Simulations suggest a breakthrough in understanding how turbulence develops
A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and treatment of heart disease. ...
Tech Xplore / Atom-thin material could help solve chip manufacturing problem
Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the circuits inside everything ...
Phys.org / Musicality is rooted in human biology, not just culture, says professor
Humans are fundamentally "musical animals"—and our capacity for music is rooted in biology, not just culture. This is the conclusion of new work by University of Amsterdam professor of Music Cognition Henkjan Honing. In ...
Phys.org / Photonic 'ski jumps' efficiently beam light into free space
Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, and is difficult to transmit ...
Phys.org / Deep ocean microbes may already be prepared to tackle climate change
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
Phys.org / Twisted bilayer photonic crystals dynamically tune light's handedness
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes through—also known as its ...
