Phys.org / Nutrient-driven 'death fronts' may explain why some antibiotics fail outside the lab
Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a rise in antibiotic resistance that renders existing treatments ineffective, new agents are urgently ...
Phys.org / How studying yeast in the gut could lead to new, better drugs
A new study sheds light on the behavior of yeast cells in the gut, paving the way for new lines of yeast that more efficiently produce therapeutic drugs tailored to address specific diseases. The research is published in ...
Phys.org / Iron Age massacre targeted women and children, new research reveals
New research has revealed that women and children were deliberately targeted in one of the largest prehistoric mass killings discovered in Europe. Archaeological investigations at the Gomolava burial sites in northern Serbia ...
Phys.org / Atom-thin electronics withstand space radiation, potentially surviving for centuries in orbit
Atom-thick layers of molybdenum disulfide are ideally suited for radiation-resistant spacecraft electronics, researchers in China have confirmed. In a study published in Nature, Peng Zhou and colleagues at Fudan University ...
Phys.org / Sunray-like ripples emerge on a frozen reaction front
Researchers in Belgium have unveiled a striking chemical reaction in which ripples along a frozen reaction front resemble the rays of a shining star. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, Anne De Wit and colleagues ...
Medical Xpress / In football players with repeated head impacts, inflammation related to brain changes and worse memory
In former college and professional football players, a new study has found higher levels of inflammation were associated with worse brain structure, which in turn was related to worse memory. The study, published in Neurology, ...
Tech Xplore / Rise of the rice robots—creating active smart materials
Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to design a new material that could be used to build "soft" robots that change stiffness automatically ...
Tech Xplore / Solvent‑free perovskite solar cell technology could pave way for scalable production
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe that markedly enhances the crystal quality of vacuum-deposited perovskite films. This advance brings ...
Medical Xpress / ChatGPT Health: First independent evaluation raises safety questions
ChatGPT Health, a widely used consumer artificial intelligence (AI) tool that provides health guidance directly to the public—including advice about how urgently to seek medical care—may fail to direct users appropriately ...
Phys.org / Ocean carbon blind spot may skew climate forecasts
A new report by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO reveals a critical lack of understanding of how the ocean absorbs and stores carbon. This glaring uncertainty about our planet's largest carbon ...
Medical Xpress / Clinically informed AI outperforms foundation models in spinal cord disease prediction
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) refers to spinal cord compression from arthritis in the neck and is the leading cause of spinal cord dysfunction in older adults. CSM is a chronic, progressive condition that can cause ...
Phys.org / Hair-width LEDs could eventually replace lasers
LEDs no wider than a human hair could soon take on work traditionally handled by lasers, from moving data inside server racks to powering next-generation displays. New research co-authored by UC Santa Barbara doctoral student ...
