Medical Xpress / Birth control pills may increase binge eating, new study reveals
A new study from Michigan State University found increases in binge eating when taking hormone pills in the form of oral contraceptives—but not in all women. This is the first large-scale study of changes in binge-related ...
Phys.org / Pixels preserve world's rarest porpoise to 3D digital archive as extinction risk grows
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus), an elusive porpoise found only in the shallow waters of Mexico's northern Gulf of California, is one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals on Earth. Measuring about 5 feet (1.5 meters) ...
Phys.org / Deep Earth model traces 270 million years of seamount formation across oceans
Over 40,000 seamounts—undersea mountains that don't breach the ocean's surface—are scattered across the ocean floor. Some form linear chains, while others occur as dispersed, isolated features that are not part of well-defined ...
Medical Xpress / Pilot study suggests cash support may help heart patients stay on medications
A pilot study led by UTSW researchers suggests modest financial support may help low-income heart failure (HF) patients stay on their medications after leaving the hospital. The study, published in the Journal of the American ...
Phys.org / Hubble glimpses merging galaxy clusters
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy cluster called CL0016+1609, or MACS J0018.5+1626, that is very bright at X-ray wavelengths and is one of the most extensively studied clusters at X-ray and radio wavelengths. ...
Medical Xpress / Vibrating pill could help predict relapse risk for anorexia nervosa patients
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder characterized by persistent restriction of food intake, fear of gaining weight and distorted body image, often leading to significantly low body weight. Relapse rates for people ...
Phys.org / Chemists reveal one-step 'alkyl swap' that rewrites key amines for drug discovery
For more than a century, chemists have been building complex molecules step by step—bond by bond, atom by atom. But what if, instead of painstakingly reassembling molecules, they could be directly "rewritten"? This is exactly ...
Phys.org / Water-based nanoprinting moves metal films onto delicate 3D surfaces without damage
A new technology allows metal circuits floating on water to be transferred directly onto any desired surface. A South Korean research team has introduced a novel technique capable of transferring ultra-fine nanocircuits onto ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast laser pulses reveal a material's hidden state of matter
What would it take to instantly transform a material from an electrical insulator into a conductive state without ever touching it? Using ultrafast laser pulses and powerful X-rays, scientists at the National Synchrotron ...
Phys.org / Nanomedicine discovery uses salt to overcome major obstacle in gene therapy
Researchers at the University of Houston's College of Pharmacy have discovered an unexpectedly simple strategy to improve the performance of mRNA vaccines and gene therapeutics: adding salt. The findings, published in Small, ...
Medical Xpress / Many cancers originate from a single cancer cell and evolve through early bursts of chromosome changes
A comprehensive multi-cancer study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has revealed that cancer cells within tumors are genetically diverse, yet all carry the same core genetic changes that ...
Phys.org / Hydrogen-based steelmaking gets 2x boost from nickel oxide catalyst, study finds
Steel and metal production are among the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 10% of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, modern technology relies on tailored steels and ...
