Phys.org / First-of-a-kind laser spring opens up new avenues for plasma control
When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ocean. But what if the laser itself could twist like a whirlpool? Researchers have now demonstrated ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop a new predictive model for designing 2D perovskites
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are increasingly recognized as promising candidate materials for the next generation of optoelectronic devices. These materials combine key characteristics of both 2D semiconductors and three-dimensional ...
Phys.org / The largest digital camera ever built begins decade-long survey of the universe
The largest digital camera ever built is starting to capture images of unseen corners of the universe.
Medical Xpress / Two prostate cancer mutations reveal opposite responses to ferroptosis therapy
A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis. These findings, ...
Phys.org / More gray seals counted in the Wadden Sea
This year's surveys of gray seals in the Wadden Sea and on Helgoland once again show an upward trend. During the 2025–2026 survey year, 3,385 pups and 12,497 gray seals were recorded during the molting period. The results ...
Medical Xpress / Virus influences rare brain lymphomas, large study finds
Primary CNS lymphoma is a rare cancer that arises from malignant white blood cells. Affected individuals develop tumors in the brain and, more rarely, in the spinal cord, the eyes or within the cerebrospinal fluid. These ...
Medical Xpress / Hybrid work improves the work experience—particularly for women
The transition to hybrid work has improved the psychosocial work environment among white-collar employees, according to new research from Umeå University. Positive effects include more accessible leadership, greater autonomy ...
Medical Xpress / Faulty calcium signaling may drive dry mouth in Down syndrome, raising gum disease risk
Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry have uncovered what may be biologically driving oral health issues unique to Down syndrome. Their study, published in Cell Reports, describes a molecular mechanism—a defect in calcium ...
Medical Xpress / TROP2 marks relapse-driving colorectal cancer cells and opens path to targeted treatment
A team led by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute has discovered a promising new approach to treating advanced colorectal cancer. The study, published in Nature, identifies ...
Phys.org / El Niño is shaping up for a hot summer—could recycled water be part of the solution?
With El Niño officially declared for summer 2026, Dr. Laura Fernandez and researchers at Macquarie University are testing the use of recycled water to irrigate trees, helping cool Western Sydney.
Phys.org / Sound waves reconstruct Alaska fireball path after cameras miss key details
When a bright fireball streaked across the Alaska sky last spring, the usual tools scientists rely on to track such events—cameras and satellites—did not provide a detailed picture. But the meteoroid left behind something ...
Phys.org / World Cup data reveals initiative alone doesn't improve team performance
Team members' initiative can help teams succeed, but only when it is paired with strong coordination, according to new research from Washington State University.
