Medical Xpress / How medical education can revive the physician–scientist pipeline
The physician–scientist has long occupied a unique place in medicine—bridging the laboratory and the clinic, translating scientific discoveries into innovative patient care. But that role is becoming increasingly rare. The ...
Phys.org / Is listening to music while studying a helpful habit or hidden distraction?
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shed light on why so many students listen to background music while studying, and whether it helps or hinders their focus.
Medical Xpress / Researcher develops 'smart, tiny bubbles' to treat cancer and heart disease
A cell 500 times thinner than a human hair could heal hearts and kill cancer cells, thanks to a patent-pending technology created by a University of Central Florida researcher and now licensed to a university donor in hopes ...
Phys.org / Human cells can exchange genomic DNA that alters cell behavior
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and change how the recipient ...
Medical Xpress / High prevalence of hantavirus in some areas of the Pacific Northwest
The Sin Nombre virus—a hantavirus that can cause a deadly respiratory disease in humans—may be more widespread among rodent populations in parts of the Pacific Northwest than previously recognized. A recent study conducted ...
Phys.org / Intrepid tails—fluke photos confirm humpback whales mount 14,000 km open ocean crossing to breeding grounds
An international team of scientists have documented, for the first time, humpback whales traveling between breeding grounds in eastern Australia and Brazil, crossing more than 14,000 kilometers of open ocean. The findings ...
Phys.org / Galactic collision may have reset Milky Way disk 11 billion years ago
A new study led by researchers at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) reveals how the disks of galaxies like the Milky Way are affected ...
Phys.org / Lab fish cycles are hours out of sync with natural ones, researchers discover
When researchers moved medaka—a fish commonly used in experiments—out of the lab and into more natural conditions, their reproductive clock shifted by hours, suggesting that laboratory findings may not fully capture their ...
Phys.org / Extreme Lunar conditions need an extreme test rig
When people eventually head to the moon for long-term exploration and habitation, they'll need equipment and spacesuits made of well-tested materials. That's where NASA's Lunar Environment Test Rig (LESTR) comes in handy. ...
Tech Xplore / Public support for the energy transition is driven by emotions, say researchers
What psychological factors influence public support for decarbonization policies? A team at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has developed an artificial intelligence–based model to predict the level of public support for ...
Medical Xpress / How dead tumor cells could make chemotherapy and radiotherapy work better
As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual cancer cells die, exposing their internal scaffolds. These dead cells are an abundant source of ...
Phys.org / Findings reconsider the existence of Europa's vapor plumes
Looking back at 14 years of Hubble telescope data for Jupiter's moon Europa has given Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists a better understanding of its tenuous atmosphere. The findings have cast doubt on previous ...
