Medical Xpress / The 'healthier' drink that isn't: Popular alcoholic beverages found to be ultra-processed despite health claims
Canned cocktails and hard seltzers are being chosen by health-conscious young people as a safer way to consume alcohol, but new Australian research reveals these products are almost universally ultra-processed, potentially ...
Medical Xpress / How cells dodge death: Newly identified protein regulator could reshape cancer treatment
Our bodies are constantly deciding which cells should live and which should die through a process called apoptosis. This type of programmed cell death enables organisms to remove damaged or potentially dangerous cells in ...
Phys.org / Upside‑down whales aren't sick or hurt—they're just resting
If you stand on one of Australia's southern shorelines at this time of year, you might be lucky enough to spot a southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) swimming in the shallow waters. These ocean giants have migrated ...
Medical Xpress / Fibronectin pathway may drive Marfan aortic damage, opening new drug targets
A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting ...
Phys.org / From birdsong to galaxies: Unleashing the potential of citizen science
Everyone could contribute dramatically more to scientific knowledge if given better recognition, administrative support and funding stability, new research has found. An international collaboration of 16 organizations used ...
Tech Xplore / New carbon nanotube infrared sensors could shrink thermal cameras, medical thermometers and gas leak detectors
Researchers from Skoltech have devised a way to detect infrared radiation across a wide range without cooling the detector. This promises cheaper and smaller contactless thermometers and sensors for medicine, industry, fire ...
Phys.org / DNA-based nanoswitch can flip in milliseconds and stay in one state for days without continuous forcing
Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that past versions required ...
Phys.org / AI maps 991 aromatic plants, identifies scent compounds that may improve sleep
Food scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used machine learning to sift through more than 2,300 scent molecules from aromatic plants and identify compounds with sleep-promoting potential, an approach ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how the uterine microbiome may impact pregnancy success
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin have uncovered new evidence that the communities of bacteria living in the uterus may play an important role in determining whether pregnancy is successful following assisted reproductive ...
Phys.org / 400-year-old painting reveals a bat's secret diet
Natural historians have many observational techniques in their toolkit for learning about the natural world: tagging animals with tracking devices, recording sounds, analyzing droppings or simply watching and counting. As ...
Phys.org / Satellites reveal when toxic algal blooms flare in Blue Mesa Reservoir
The summers of 2021 and 2022 were tough seasons for Colorado's Blue Mesa Reservoir. A severe drought gripped much of the western U.S., prompting emergency water releases that brought the reservoir to its lowest level since ...
