Phys.org / Investigating the disordered heart of glass
Recent research led by the University of Trento reveals that fundamental atomic vibrations remain unchanged also in ultra-stable glasses. This discovery advances the decade-long debate on the physics of disorder and opens ...
Medical Xpress / Contrast agents in imaging—do they really harm the kidneys?
"Contrast harms the kidneys"—this belief has been present among patients for years, and sometimes also among physicians. In clinical practice, it may raise concerns about imaging examinations and procedures that use contrast ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer cells can rewrite RNA messages, creating new drug targets in aggressive tumors
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, functional fragments rather than following the standard blueprint. This process, newly termed as "RNA dicing," ...
Phys.org / Researchers detect microplastics in fish larvae shortly after hatching
Microplastics are now widely distributed throughout the environment—in water, in the air, in the soil and even inside living organisms, including marine life. However, most studies to date have focused on adult fish, including ...
Medical Xpress / New research signals a promising advance in endometriosis diagnosis
The Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford, together with Serac Healthcare Limited, announces the publication of Phase 2 data in The Lancet Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The findings ...
Phys.org / Physicists revive 1990s laser concept to propose a next-generation atomic clock
Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized laser, where atoms work in concert rather than independently. Publishing their results in Physical ...
Medical Xpress / Integrating pharmacists into kidney disease care team can provide better outcomes for patients
Approximately 35 million adults in the United States suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), and that number is growing. Meanwhile, there's a critical shortage of nephrologists to manage these patients, according to Calvin ...

Phys.org / An unprecedented Antarctic heat wave hit in the dead of winter—what it signals for the decades ahead
In the middle of the Antarctic winter, during months of darkness when temperatures often dip below −30°C, the continent warmed dramatically. In July and August 2024, temperatures in parts of East Antarctica rose by up to ...
Medical Xpress / Macaques reveal human-like genetic cause of inherited blindness, offering new disease model
An inherited form of blindness directly comparable to a common inherited optic nerve disease in humans has been discovered in rhesus macaques at the California National Primate Research Center at the University of California, ...
Phys.org / Egg-scanning AI may let hatcheries sort life, death and sex before chicks emerge
Eggs and poultry provide important sources of protein globally, driving a major industry with large economic impacts. Challenges to hatchery operations include embryo mortality, fertility, sex determination, and eggshell ...
