Phys.org / World's rarest marsupial: What new research reveals about its survival needs
Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) along with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have been working together to help protect the world's rarest marsupial by better understanding ...
Phys.org / First human DNA-cutting enzyme that senses physical tension discovered
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This "tension-sensing" mechanism ...
Medical Xpress / Years of war in Ukraine leave adolescents facing a growing mental health emergency
Adolescents who have lived through the escalating phases of the Russo-Ukrainian war are experiencing alarming levels of psychological distress, according to a new large-scale time-trend study from the Research Center for ...

Phys.org / Fast-tracking a natural climate solution by compressing millennia of carbon capture into hours
What if it were possible to take a very slow geological process, one that takes thousands of years in nature, and speed it up so that it happens within hours, in order to slow the rate of global warming?
Medical Xpress / Reversing treatment resistance in prostate cancer: Study solves longstanding puzzle in tumor biology
Scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) have discovered a key mechanism that makes prostate cancer cells resistant to the latest drugs used to treat them. Their findings, reported in the current ...
Phys.org / Oxygen scavenger doubles biosensor accuracy for medical and agricultural uses
Biosensors are helping people with chronic conditions worldwide live better lives. However, their measurement accuracy has often been relatively low, limiting the range of possible applications. Researchers at the Technical ...
Phys.org / Detecting antibiotic resistance more reliably: AI tool reduces false positives
Researchers at University Medicine Oldenburg have developed an AI tool that delivers fewer false-positive results than conventional screening methods when testing bacteria for resistance to reserve antibiotics. The research ...
Phys.org / Analysis of gases trapped in rocks reveals origin of the gold deposits beneath Scotland and Ireland
Sophisticated new chemical analysis of gases trapped in rocks for millions of years has cast new light on the origin of the gold deposits beneath Scotland and Ireland. The finding, made by team of scientists led by Professor ...
