Phys.org / Most precise measurement of the force that binds nuclear matter achieved
Trinity's Prof. Stefan Sint, along with collaborators from Germany, Spain and Italy, has published the most precise determination to date of the strong coupling constant. This parameter governs the interactions between quarks ...
Medical Xpress / Could a once-a-day pill replace weight loss injections? Phase II oral GLP-1 drug trial shows promising results
For those scared of needles but who need GLP-1 receptor agonists to help manage their weight, there might be some good news. Researchers are testing a new oral, small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist called Elecoglipron, which ...
Phys.org / Young stellar activity drives galactic evolution across the universe
Astronomers have revealed new details about how young stars shape their galactic surroundings in a new study. Researchers analyzed about 18,000 star-forming regions in nearby spiral galaxies using data from powerful instruments ...
Phys.org / Your body's secret sugar code could predict disease years before it strikes
Scientists have found that hidden health signals coating your cells could change medicine forever. The new study by Edith Cowan University (ECU) School of Medical and Health Sciences has shown sugar molecules in your body ...
Phys.org / Data suggest 'red flag' laws are linked to sustained reductions in arrests
Individuals subject to extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), or "red flag" laws, were significantly less likely to be arrested—including for violent and firearm-related offenses—while the orders were in effect than in the ...
Phys.org / Random deformation lets glassy materials store precise mechanical memories, simulations reveal
Amorphous materials such as glass are solids whose internal structure lacks a repeating pattern. Their molecules are arranged in a random and irregular way. Surprisingly, these disordered materials can "remember" past mechanical ...
Phys.org / Tourism firms face complex path to sustainability
Tourism businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand are working to become more sustainable, but a new study shows the process is complex and rarely straightforward. The research, based on in-depth interviews, data analysis and ...
Phys.org / Young coqui frogs 'play it safe' when disease strikes, study finds
For a frog no bigger than a fingernail, survival depends on how it spends every bit of energy. New research from the University of Florida shows that young frogs prioritize growing quickly even when infected with a deadly ...
Science X / A solar storm was seen speeding up instead of slowing down, and scientists think they know why
A gigantic solar eruption in November 2021 defied expectations. Two spacecraft—Solar Orbiter at 0.85 AU and Wind at 0.98 AU—watched the same coronal mass ejection (CME) as it zoomed through the solar wind. Normally, a CME ...
Phys.org / Nanomedicine discovery uses salt to overcome major obstacle in gene therapy
Researchers at the University of Houston's College of Pharmacy have discovered an unexpectedly simple strategy to improve the performance of mRNA vaccines and gene therapeutics: adding salt. The findings, published in Small, ...
Phys.org / Thermochemical mantle plume identified as the likely origin of Earth's largest oceanic plateau
The Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, and its formation mechanism has not been well understood.
Medical Xpress / Postbiotic gummies cut gum bleeding in six weeks, trial suggests
Continuous consumption of foods containing heat-inactivated Lactiplantibacillus pentosus can help reduce gum bleeding, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. These postbiotic foods can improve inflammatory conditions ...
