Medical Xpress / Five-agent AI team could speed clinical trial design using real-world patient records
An artificial intelligence system that operates like a collaborative team of medical experts could accelerate clinical trial design, one of the most difficult steps in drug development, according to a new study by Weill Cornell ...
Phys.org / A young gull's mottled brown plumage acts as a 'not a threat' signal to territorial adults
Birds are known for their distinctive plumage that helps them attract mates during the breeding season. For some birds, the path to adulthood is quite linear. One day they are chicks, and a few months later they are fully ...
Phys.org / Tiny carbon rings enable a new form of quantum control
Quantum states can be precisely controlled with the help of tiny carbon rings measuring only a few nanometers in size. This is made possible by a class of rarely used electromagnetic dipoles called toroidal moments. Using ...
Phys.org / South African fynbos soil delivers a new species of soil bacterium
Microbiologists from Stellenbosch University in South Africa have discovered a previously unknown bacterial genus within the phylum Acidobacteriota. It is the first genus from this phylum to be described from Southern Africa.
Phys.org / AI framework could speed battery, combustion and materials research by automating simulations
Computers have made it easier than ever before to design the perfect material for a given problem: Scientists can create a virtual version and simulate how that material will behave. Building these atomically precise simulations, ...
Phys.org / Massive calving episode in Greenland may foreshadow more rapid ice sheet loss
In November 2025, a study led by Adrien Wehrlé, a researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Zürich, Switzerland, looked at the massive calving response of one of West Greenland's active glaciers, Sermeq ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular 'bandages' help rebuild uterine lining after monthly shedding, study finds
For most women past puberty, the uterine lining (endometrium) sheds from the body roughly every month if there is no fertilized egg present. Then, the uterus rebuilds itself to prepare for a potential pregnancy. While this ...
Phys.org / Dynamic population breeding improves turquoise killifish husbandry
Originally from southeastern Africa, the turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) lives in seasonal bodies of water that form during the rainy season and disappear again during the dry season. The fish is highly adapted ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover potential new treatment for Parkinson's disease, other neurodegenerative conditions
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common form of neurodegenerative disease and afflicts more than 10 million people worldwide. While current therapies address disease symptoms, they do not prevent the underlying ...
Phys.org / Carbonation, hops and pH: Why safer non-alcoholic beer needs more than bubbles
With careful recipe and process design, non-alcoholic beer can be made more resistant to foodborne pathogens, according to a new study that provides practical guidance on pH, carbonation and hops.
Medical Xpress / New drug against metastatic prostate cancer made entirely from human proteins
A new cancer drug may be able to inhibit both tumor growth and the spread of aggressive prostate cancer. This is shown in a study conducted by researchers at Umeå University together with international collaborators, published ...
Medical Xpress / Moderate, home-based exercise found safe for aortic dissection survivors
A multicenter clinical trial led by UTHealth Houston has found that survivors of aortic dissection can participate in moderate-intensity exercise at home without increasing the risk of recurrent aortic events. The study is ...
