An archaeological study has revealed when domestic dogs first began to show the remarkable diversity that characterizes them today.
Phys.org / Wild birds are driving the current US bird flu outbreak
Since late 2021, a panzootic, or "a pandemic in animals," of highly pathogenic bird flu variant H5N1 has devastated wild birds, agriculture, and mammals. Unlike previous outbreaks, aggressive culling of domestic birds has ...
Phys.org / Manganese is Lyme disease's double-edge sword
For decades, Lyme disease has frustrated both physicians and patients alike. Caused by the corkscrew-shaped bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, the infection, if left untreated, can linger for months, leading to fever, fatigue ...
Phys.org / Magnetic nanoparticles that successfully navigate complex blood vessels may be ready for clinical trials
Every year, 12 million people worldwide suffer a stroke; many die or are permanently impaired. Currently, drugs are administered to dissolve the thrombus that blocks the blood vessel. These drugs spread throughout the entire ...
Phys.org / First full simulation of 50-qubit universal quantum computer achieved
A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has been fully simulated—a ...
Medical Xpress / Sodium bicarbonate fails to boost survival in patients with severe acidemia
Montpellier University Hospital leads a 43-center French effort that reports no reduction in day 90 all-cause mortality with sodium bicarbonate infusion for critically ill adults with severe metabolic acidemia and moderate ...
Tech Xplore / Novel 'ink' for light-based 3D printing enables color-changing, conducting polymer structures
A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have succeeded in making so-called ...
