When I tell people that I am a proud Boarisch-Schwob—Bavarian-Swabian—Indigenous person, I am often met with disbelief. I am white. I am European. I come from Bavaria, one of Europe's wealthiest regions. For some people, ...
Phys.org / Roman telescope will spot distant black holes that shred stars
How do black holes at the centers of galaxies form and grow over time? To answer this question, scientists need to detect and study supermassive black holes at great distances that existed much earlier in the universe's history. ...
Phys.org / Hidden muscle machinery reveals 50 new gene subfamilies across vertebrates
Within every muscle of every living species with a backbone, a protein called myosin tugs on a partner protein to generate a muscle contraction. This function, discovered in mammals a century ago, has been presumed by scientists ...
Phys.org / How NASA's Artemis III lander test will pave way for moon landings
Before Artemis astronauts land on the moon's surface in 2028, NASA will conduct the Artemis III demonstration mission in 2027, allowing teams on Earth and in orbit to practice rendezvous and docking operations between commercial ...
Medical Xpress / Global Parkinson's gene map uncovers regional differences across 11 world regions
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide after Alzheimer's disease and, according to the World Health Organization, one of the fastest-growing neurological disorders. Yet genetic research ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists tame seizures and heal injured brains with gut chemical
The skull heals its cracks, the bruises fade, the swelling subsides and the bleeding stops. From the outside, a traumatic blow to the head, whether from a battlefield blast, car crash or even a tackle gone wrong, may seem ...
Phys.org / World's first superconducting quantum heat engine offers path to larger quantum computers
Recent improvements in our understanding of how the principles of thermodynamics apply in the quantum realm could give a boost to quantum technology, and a clearer picture of quantum thermodynamics could in turn enhance our ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial proves effectiveness of FLASH treatment for pain reduction in cancer patients
University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers led a first-of-a-kind clinical study showing that a cancer treatment known as FLASH, or ultra-high-dose-rate proton beam radiation therapy, safely and effectively reduced ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop light-activated drugs that restore sight in blind mice
Blinding diseases caused by the degeneration of photoreceptors, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), affect 200 million people worldwide and represent the leading causes of visual ...
Tech Xplore / Why the actual fuel consumption of plug-in hybrids is often higher
Vehicles with plug-in hybrid drives are intended to facilitate the transition to electric mobility. They can cover shorter distances purely on electric power and offer a combustion engine as a backup for longer trips. According ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers estimate the upper limit of human lifespan determined by somatic mutations
Researchers from Skoltech and co-authors from AIRI have, for the first time, quantitatively assessed how somatic mutations—random DNA changes that accumulate in cells with age—limit the maximum human lifespan. The work was ...
Medical Xpress / Rise of GLP-1s raises long-term affordability questions
As use of GLP-1s surged across the U.S., average total payments per user also climbed sharply, according to a new Northwestern University study that analyzed national trends in GLP-1 use and spending between 2017 and 2022. ...
