Phys.org / Open-source software unlocks rapid DNA structure generation and analysis in one workflow
Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a comprehensive software suite to create accurate models of DNA in biomolecular assemblies. Called MDNA, ...
Phys.org / 'Mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres similar to diesel exhaust
The astronauts circling Earth on the Artemis mission sent back beautiful clear photos of the continents, clouds, and oceans. But we might be the exception. Many planets in the universe may be hazed in clouds of soot, according ...
Medical Xpress / AI misses cancer drug target, revealing why lab validation still matters
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a previously hidden druggable site in a cancer-related protein that could open the door toward the development of a new generation of more precise ...
Phys.org / Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets
With World Oceans Day coming up on June 8, policymakers and researchers will be thinking about the state of the ocean and efforts to protect marine environments.
Medical Xpress / Favorable lifestyle and health linked to lower dementia risk even in people with a genetic risk factor
With dementia cases expected to nearly triple worldwide by 2050, researchers are increasingly focused on identifying ways to prevent or delay the disease. While lifestyle and health-related factors, such as blood pressure ...
Tech Xplore / ChartNet trains AI to read charts, boosting smaller models past commercial rivals
To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and ...
Phys.org / Detailed molecular picture of tooth enamel reveals adaptations to diet
From chewing to chomping to grinding, teeth suffer from a lifetime of repeated mechanical stress. It makes sense, then, that enamel is one of the hardest natural materials.
Phys.org / Prescribed burns are lit in Australia's Northern Territory to minimize the severity of fires later in the season
In May and June of most years, NASA satellites typically begin to detect large numbers of wildland fires throughout the Top End and Arnhem Land regions of Australia's Northern Territory. On some days, especially in the afternoon, ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual reality can reduce therapists' fears about exposure therapy
Researchers at Bradley Hospital found that a virtual reality (VR) training program can help therapists feel more confident using exposure therapy and reduce their negative beliefs about it—even more than traditional classroom-style ...
Medical Xpress / New CAR T treatment opens door for patients in need of kidney transplant
A pioneering clinical trial has successfully enabled two patients with end-stage kidney disease to receive previously improbable kidney transplants. These individuals were considered among the most difficult in the nation ...
Phys.org / From forest to front door: Understanding how wildfire spreads through communities
As California's population boomed—from 10 million in 1950 to over 40 million today—the number of people living in fire-prone areas multiplied. Over the decades, millions of new homes and commercial buildings sprang up to ...
Phys.org / Faster lower-cost PFAS testing could reshape how US drinking water is monitored
A new investigation from the University of Kansas improves detection of PFAS, a family of so-called "forever chemicals" in drinking water supplies. The method, which can measure trace pollution levels of PFAS in water more ...
