Phys.org / Asteroid Ryugu's dust reveals nitrogen's slow concentration into complex molecules
Nitrogen is a key ingredient in the biomolecules that form the building blocks of life. Yet as an unbonded gas, it is far more likely to drift into space than to lock itself into solid compounds, making it difficult for astronomers ...
Phys.org / Evolutionary home advantage: Field experiment reveals adaptation to be surprisingly local
A research team from the University of Bern has shown in a large-scale field experiment that populations of the same fish species can be much more fine-tuned to their local environments than previously thought. Habitats that ...
Tech Xplore / Improved thin film harnesses indoor light to power devices
Remember the solar calculator from middle school math class that had a small solar cell at the top? The idea behind that technology is not a relic of the past but the subject of continuous innovation. Today's indoor solar ...
Phys.org / 3D food printing of balanced vegetarian dishes from rice and lentil flours
Rice and lentils are a pairing that goes a long way back, whether as khichdi in India or mujaddara in the Middle East. On its own, each is a source of incomplete protein, short on certain essential amino acids—but paired ...
Medical Xpress / 252 million young children in developing countries are undernourished, multidimensionally poor, new global study finds
Nearly half of all children under 5 in developing regions are poor, undernourished or both, according to a report published today by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative at the University of Oxford. The report ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis suggests a lung disease drug could be fighting aging at the same time
In 2025, Insilico Medicine developed an experimental drug called rentosertib as a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a severe age-related lung disease. The drug works by inhibiting the protein TNIK, which is involved ...
Medical Xpress / Bacteria in the airway may shape air pollution health risk
Air pollution is linked to different risks of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis, depending on the bacterial subtype a person carries, new research suggests.
Medical Xpress / Smartphone-controlled microneedle patch could offer drug-free pain care from afar
A "wearable electroceutical" has been developed that could reduce the need to visit a hospital or rely on painkillers every time pain occurs. When attached to the skin, it modulates pain through electrical stimulation and ...
Tech Xplore / Ex-Google worker adds to AI alarm, warns of 'potential to kill us all'
A former Google DeepMind employee warned that rapidly advancing artificial intelligence could become uncontrollable and has "the potential to kill us all," adding to a growing list of industry insiders sounding the alarm.
Phys.org / Why do spruce take decades to reproduce? A genetic study offers some clues
New techniques have enabled researchers in Sweden to begin decoding how one of Northern Europe's most important coniferous tree species switches from growing branches to producing cones—their seed-bearing reproductive organs.
Medical Xpress / Brain-computer interface enables avatar speech and gestures for people with paralysis
A scientific team has shown that a new brain-computer interface (BCI) can allow people with vocal tract and bodily paralysis to convey both speech and upper-body gestures simultaneously. While BCIs have facilitated one or ...
Phys.org / Pollinators keep a later calendar in human-modified landscapes, study finds
Human development may be changing more than where pollinators live—it may also be changing when they are active. University of Florida researchers at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) have found that ...
