Phys.org / Mosquitoes reach Iceland for the first time as the Arctic heats up
In what is possibly another sign of climate change, mosquitoes have landed in Iceland for the first time. For many years, the island was the only Arctic country that could claim to be mosquito-free. But that all changed in ...
Phys.org / Lost millennium of Galapagos deep-sea corals linked to major Pacific climate shift
Scientists have discovered that deep-water corals in the Galapagos region vanished for more than 1,000 years before eventually recovering. The findings reveal that deep-water coral ecosystems may be more susceptible to climate ...
Phys.org / To thwart pathogens, researchers are giving beneficial microbes what they really want
University of California San Diego researchers have developed a new tool for understanding and modifying any microbiome, including the human microbiome. The approach, called Microbial Interaction and Niche Determination (MIND), ...
Phys.org / Hubble reveals Crab Nebula filaments racing outward at 3.4 million mph
This observation from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, released on March 23, 2026, gives an unparalleled, detailed look at the aftermath of a supernova and how it has evolved over the telescope's long lifetime.
Medical Xpress / Naturally occurring molecule can stop Alzheimer's-linked fibrils from forming
Protein droplets serve important biological functions within cells, but in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, these liquid-like droplets can form solid-like clumps known as fibrils. This disrupts the droplets' normal ...
Phys.org / How poison frogs built a chemical weapons system one evolutionary step at a time
Poison frogs are small and brightly colored amphibians that originate from Central and South America. As suggested by their name, these frogs can release highly toxic chemicals from their skin, which deter and neutralize ...
Medical Xpress / 340B drug discounts are drifting from patients to profit, and reform is now on the table
The 340B Drug Pricing Program must be reformed to better patient health and disincentivize institutional profit-seeking behaviors, says the American College of Physicians (ACP). In a new policy, "Reforming 340B to Promote ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists map how HIV hijacks human cells—and how cells can fight back
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the cause of AIDS, is a master of deception, using just nine genes to hijack the complex cellular machinery of the human body. Yet, even after decades of research on how the ...
Medical Xpress / Why some brains with Alzheimer's stay sharp
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have uncovered new insights into one of Alzheimer's disease's most puzzling questions: why some older adults remain mentally sharp despite having hallmark brain changes ...
Tech Xplore / Decommissioned wind turbines may leave 20,000 blades landfilled or burned by 2040
Europe's oldest offshore wind turbines are now being dismantled, after having delivered clean energy since the early 1990s. These turbines have transformed offshore wind into clean power on land, but decommissioning the oldest ...
Phys.org / Some cancer drugs disrupt taste by changing the cells inside taste buds, study shows
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz may have identified why many cancer patients say food suddenly tastes unpleasant during treatment. The study, published today in Development, found that a class of targeted ...
Phys.org / Why climate models and ocean observations diverge, and what it means for rain and drought
Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. However, observational data over the last 70 years show the opposite—that ...
