Medical Xpress / Endoscopic procedure associated with greater short-term weight loss than oral semaglutide, study finds
A comparative study, presented at ESGE Days 2026, has found that endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is associated with significantly greater short-term weight loss than oral semaglutide in adults with obesity.
Phys.org / Fungus-powered farming delivers higher yields and better-tasting crops, says study
Can we have higher yields and better taste? Using a natural extract from the fungus Pseudozyma aphidis, this method improves the firmness and natural sugar content of crops like tomatoes and melons while significantly boosting ...
Phys.org / Summers are getting longer each year, and it isn't all fun and games
Do you have the sense that summers feel different than when you were younger? That they start earlier, arrive quickly and remain intense until the fall? If you live in the mid-latitudes of either the Northern or Southern ...
Medical Xpress / No refrigeration needed for next-gen malaria vaccine
Malaria is a deadly disease killing more than half a million people every year, but a new vaccine is showing promise as it not only offers long-lasting strong protection but also inhibits transmission of malaria by mosquitoes. ...
Phys.org / Industrial fishing has been depleting midwater fish for decades, new study finds
A new study led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds that industrial-scale fishing has been removing substantial biomass from the ocean's "twilight zone" for decades, challenging the common assumption ...
Phys.org / Atomic step–terrace ordering enables unprecedented precision in mechanical testing
As modern technologies shrink to the nanoscale, surfaces increasingly dictate how materials deform, yield, and fail. Yet probing this regime has long been hindered by the challenge of preparing and controlling surfaces with ...
Phys.org / 'Calm' galaxy cluster hides a violent cosmic scene that took 4 billion years to settle
The galaxy cluster Abell 2029 is sometimes described as "the most relaxed cluster in the universe." This moniker does not arise from some sort of mellow vibe, but rather because of how calm and undisturbed the superheated ...
Medical Xpress / Novel tool enables high-precision, low-cost pediatric leukemia diagnostics
Researchers have introduced a novel diagnostics method that can more sensitively detect gene fusions in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), the most common type of pediatric cancer, compared to other publicly available ...
Phys.org / New AI system classifies India rainfall better, cutting false alarms and missed heavy rain
AI can predict rainfall intensity better than several widely used forecasting models in tests using historical weather data from India. The new model reported in the International Journal of Mobile Communications shows that ...
Medical Xpress / AI model predicts 10-year stroke risk based on routine cardiology test
A research team co-led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has developed and validated an artificial intelligence model, known as ECG2Stroke, that can predict the risk of a ...
Phys.org / AI surrogate accelerates nonlinear optics simulations by orders of magnitude
Simulating the nonlinear optical physics that underlies ultrafast laser systems is computationally demanding—a practical bottleneck in settings that require rapid feedback. A study by researchers at Stanford University, University ...
Medical Xpress / Not just an energy drink: National study finds kratom use is rising
A national study of kratom use in the U.S. found rising popularity among young adults, and it is linked to addiction and mental health issues, according to new research from the University of Michigan and Texas State University. ...
