Phys.org / MUSE maps spiral galaxy W2246f, uncovering old core and ongoing star formation across disk
Astronomers have employed the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform deep spectroscopic observations of a peculiar spiral galaxy known as W2246f. Results of the observational ...
Phys.org / Firefighters face a higher risk of skin cancer, but nano fabrics with tiny, rough fibers can help keep them safer
Wildland firefighters are exposed to a mix of harmful chemicals in the smoke they breathe and the ash and soot that gets on their clothing. Over long assignments fighting fires that can last for days to weeks, those chemicals ...
Phys.org / Photoexcitation flips 2D moiré devices from metals to insulators in ultrafast test
Quantum materials, materials with properties that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics describing many-body interactions, have proved promising for the development of various advanced technologies. Many of these ...
Phys.org / Hagfish fossils reveal stepwise eye simplification before near-total vision loss
Many animals, including humans, rely on their eyes to detect changes in their surroundings. The eyes of vertebrates, animals with a backbone or a similar supporting structure, contain a transparent structure (i.e., the lens) ...
Medical Xpress / New study reveals how extreme heat shapes cancer care decisions
In South Florida, heat shapes daily routines long before summer officially arrives. For people living with cancer, that heat can feel like an added, continuous health burden that influences daily decisions about care, movement ...
Medical Xpress / New Huntington target may open simpler drug path to slow brain damage
Huntington disease is a rare, inherited brain disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells, leading to worsening movement, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. Caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene, the fatal disease ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic switch in lung cancer reprograms immune cells to slow tumors
An international research team, led by Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU), the Institute for Lung Health (ILH) in Giessen, and the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, has identified a promising ...
Medical Xpress / Diabetes tied to higher tooth and implant loss over 10 years
Diabetes is associated with complications in multiple organs, including the oral cavity. As a group, people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are at higher risk for oral diseases. According to a new thesis by dentist Anna Trullenque ...
Phys.org / Twisted stacking lets 2D conductor keep single-layer performance in bulk form
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are significantly thinner than a single sheet of paper, have long drawn attention for their exceptional performance. However, they have faced a critical limitation: Their performance ...
Medical Xpress / Depressive mood may sharpen self-judgment but blur social cues, analysis finds
Does a depressive mood inevitably lead to more pessimistic thinking or overanalyzing? A global meta-analysis, the largest of its kind to examine the relationship between a depressive mood and reality judgment, co-conducted ...
Medical Xpress / Moderate screen time in first 3 days after concussion linked to teens' faster recovery
Moderate screen time in the first three days after concussion is linked to faster recovery, with an average 141 minutes of daily use speeding symptom resolution by 35%, according to a study of 80 concussed teens published ...
Phys.org / How wax moth larvae can help reduce animal testing in research
Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) have demonstrated that larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, are suitable as an alternative infection model for investigating the pathogenicity of ...
