Phys.org / Continuous video of black hole radio observations challenges shock wave theory
For years, scientists have relied primarily on radio imaging from techniques like very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) to study jets from the active galactic nuclei of supermassive black holes. This allows for the detection ...
Medical Xpress / Japanese hinoki root essential oil may support better sleep at home
Sleep problems are common in middle age, particularly among women in their 40s and 50s. In a new study published Sept. 1, 2026, in the Journal of Wood Science, researchers explored whether essential oils derived from Hinoki ...
Phys.org / How individual cells 'surf' chemical waves to form a collective
Researchers have developed an innovative imaging technique to visualize the transition of single cells into multicellular organisms in new detail.
Medical Xpress / Air pollutant exposure linked to heightened risk of death by suicide/suicidal thoughts
Exposure to air pollutants, especially small particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), may heighten the risk of death by suicide and suicidal thoughts, suggests a pooled data analysis of the available ...
Medical Xpress / Simple urine test could guide kidney-protective treatment choices in type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, making prevention of kidney failure a key part of treatment. Newer diabetes medications, including GLP-1s and SGLT2 inhibitors, can reduce the risk of kidney disease, ...
Medical Xpress / Global sexual and reproductive health and rights under threat, warn experts
As world leaders gather at the 81st session of the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA 81), experts in a special collection of articles published by The BMJ warn that the proposed merger of U.N. Women and the U.N. Population Fund ...
Phys.org / Avoiding a sticky situation: How cells stop messenger RNAs from clumping together
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is best known for carrying genetic instructions from DNA to the cellular machinery that makes proteins. But all RNA molecules have another, less appreciated property: They are naturally sticky.
Tech Xplore / Compact AI training method reduces navigation conflicts in crowded environments
A research team led by Professor Daehee Park of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST, in collaboration with a research team from KAIST, has developed a learning technique that enables a single ...
Medical Xpress / Learning reorganizes neural activity patterns to help distinguish important smells
Learning can change how the brain organizes sensory information, but researchers are still working out what those changes look like across large groups of neurons. One possibility is that the brain stores a familiar smell ...
Phys.org / Satellite data reveal ESG scores track public image more than actual forest loss
Environmental sustainability researchers at NUS found that widely used environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings often fail to reflect companies' actual exposure to deforestation, highlighting the need to integrate ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning system can identify cancer cells based on how they scatter light
Cytological tests are a common method of screening for cancer cells in stained cell samples. Using a microscope, pathologists examine cells collected from bodily fluids, looking for telltale signs of malignancy, like enlarged ...
Medical Xpress / Eye-blink rate offers a window into executive function and prefrontal development in early childhood
Executive function encompasses a suite of cognitive processes that enable individuals to regulate their behavior, thoughts and emotions. These skills are essential for tasks such as following instructions, controlling impulses ...
