Phys.org / The 'silent takeover': Invasive bees are reshaping Chile's unique pollination networks
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss and invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. A new study published in the journal NeoBiota reveals that invasive pollinators are fundamentally ...
Medical Xpress / Autoantibodies implicated as drivers of long COVID in new study
A growing body of evidence suggests that long COVID (or post-COVID syndrome), a condition affecting more than 10% of people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, may be driven by the immune system turning against the body. Now, new ...
Tech Xplore / Verdicts against Meta, YouTube could be a turning point, expert says
A landmark California verdict that found the social media company Meta and video-sharing service YouTube liable for the depression and mental health challenges of a young woman could be "the beginning of a tidal wave," a ...
Medical Xpress / Guidance for safer AI-enabled medical devices: Researchers highlight the importance of human factors
AI-enabled medical devices promise improved medical care and support for health care professionals. However, the safety and performance of such systems not only depends on algorithms or technical specifications. It is equally ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of pathway that activates brown fat could lead to new obesity treatment
Researchers have determined how a key protein activates brown fat by expanding blood vessels and nerves in the heat-generating tissue. The findings, published in Nature Communications, point to a potential strategy for treating ...
Phys.org / Stolen chloroplasts maintained by host-made proteins offer clues to plant cell origins
Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago. Chloroplasts are key structures in plants and algae that capture sunlight, but originally they were free-living bacteria that took up residence ...
Phys.org / Single-cell imaging and machine learning reveal hidden coordination in algae's response to light stress
Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences. Working together, the researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-high-resolution MRI powers the most complete brain structural atlas yet
An international team led by the ITACA Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has developed one of the most comprehensive and detailed structural atlases of the human brain to date. Known as HoliAtlas, ...
Phys.org / CERN hails delicate test on transporting antimatter as a scientific success
Scientists in Geneva took some antiprotons out for a spin—a very delicate one—in a truck, in a never-tried-before test drive that has been deemed a success.
Phys.org / One species or two? Understanding the Formosan legless lizard
A research team from the National Taiwan Normal University has clarified the status of a secretive reptile. Led by Si-Min Lin, the team focused on the Formosan legless lizard, scientifically known as Dopasia formosensis. ...
Phys.org / Foreign direct investment is no silver bullet for growth, research shows
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has long been seen as a reliable engine of economic growth, bringing jobs, productivity gains and new technologies into host economies. But new research suggests the reality is far more complex, ...
Phys.org / DNA origami precisely positions single-photon emitters for quantum technologies
An international research team led by scientists from Skoltech has developed a method to position molecules on the surface of ultrathin materials with unprecedented precision using molecular DNA self-assembly, enabling the ...
