Phys.org / Some words affect us more than others. It boils down to how they sound
Effective communication lies at the heart of human connection. It helps us collaborate with each other, solve problems and build relationships. And communicating clearly is a major consideration for most of us in most aspects ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol-linked DNA damage tied to cancer risk: Study reveals repair enzyme's role
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged genetic information.

All over Australia, Songlines, or Dreaming tracks, connected First Nations people in one place with those in another through ritual, song and storytelling, which told of their shared beliefs.
Phys.org / Zero lasing modes are not always topological
The convergence of non-Hermitian physics and topological photonics has opened exciting research directions in recent years, particularly in the development of robust laser systems.
Phys.org / Misinformation is an inevitable biological reality across nature, researchers argue
From claims that vaccines don't work to manipulated images and deliberately misrepresenting what politicians say, social media is often rife with misinformation. But far from being a recent phenomenon, there is nothing new ...
Medical Xpress / 40% of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity, study suggests
For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the way fMRI data have so ...
Phys.org / AI and underwater recordings reveal bowhead whale breeding grounds in Arctic sea ice
If bowhead whales produce particularly varied and diverse calls in one area, it is very likely that the area is a breeding ground. The species occurs exclusively in the Arctic Ocean and is therefore endemic to this region.
