Phys.org / Study finds engagement journalism training reduced 'horse race' political coverage, boosted more substantive content
News outlets across the country have been making efforts to engage more deeply with their communities and enhance transparency in their reporting. New research from the University of Kansas has found that journalism engagement ...
Tech Xplore / New concept for materials and production drastically reduces manufacturing time for aircraft doors
Passenger aircraft doors are still primarily manufactured by hand. A particularly time-consuming aspect is assembling the door structures using screws and rivets. Numerous intermediate steps are required to prevent direct ...
Phys.org / Pugs and Persian cats show strikingly similar 'smushed' faces due to artificial selection
Through intensive breeding, humans have pushed breeds such as pug dogs and Persian cats to evolve with very similar skulls and "smushed" faces, so they're more similar to each other than they are to most other dogs or cats.
Medical Xpress / How tau protein weakens the brain's vascular defenses in Alzheimer's disease
A harmful form of the tau protein, which builds up in Alzheimer's disease and similar brain disorders, can directly damage blood vessels in the brain, according to a new study by researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals emerging cases of babesiosis in Mid-Atlantic region
A newly published study in the Journal of Medical Entomology provides critical insights into the emergence of babesiosis in the Mid-Atlantic region, documenting human cases and the presence of Babesia microti in local tick ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep's dual role: How it consolidates memories while preparing the brain for new learning
Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world. At the cellular level, these processes rely on specialized neurons called engram cells—neuronal ...
Medical Xpress / Pregnancy-related proteins in tumors linked to worse survival in female lung cancer patients
Lung cancer can co-opt genes that normally help a fetus develop and evade the mother's immune system. And while these pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) can get activated in the cancers of both men and women, female ...
Phys.org / Quantum-controlled few-photon strategy powers next-generation optical nanoprinting
In a development that could reshape the future of microelectronics, optics, and biomedicine, researchers from Jinan University, in collaboration with the Institute of Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have unveiled ...
Phys.org / Fifteen new giant radio galaxies discovered with ASKAP
Using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), astronomers have discovered 15 new giant radio galaxies with physical sizes exceeding 3 million light years. The finding was reported in a research paper published ...
Phys.org / Industrial waste is turning to rock in just decades, research reveals
An aluminum tab from a drinks can found encased in a new form of rock on the Cumbrian coastline has helped provide scientists with a shocking new insight into the impact of human activity on Earth's natural processes and ...
Phys.org / New atomic fountain clock joins elite group that keeps the world on time
Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado.
Tech Xplore / Dual scalable annealing processors overcome capacity and precision limits
Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) arise in various fields such as shift scheduling, traffic routing, and drug development. However, they are challenging to solve using traditional computers in a practical timeframe.
