Medical Xpress / Mechanism behind immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer identified
Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have identified a previously unrecognized way lung tumors weaken the immune system, helping explain why many patients do not respond to immunotherapy and pointing to a potential new ...
Phys.org / The ice on Greenland is acting strangely: Scientists believe they finally know why
Deep inside the Greenland ice sheet are giant swirling plume-like structures. These have puzzled scientists for over a decade, but UiB researchers now believe they have cracked the mystery by applying the same mathematics ...
Phys.org / Why some objects in space look like snowmen: Gravitational collapse may shed light on contact binaries
Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University researchers now have evidence of the surprisingly simple process that could be responsible for their ...
Medical Xpress / Down syndrome study sheds new light on early brain development
A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from a very early age. The ...
Phys.org / Social media advertising suppresses voting in targeted communities, research shows
Messages intended to suppress votes can be precisely delivered to particularly vulnerable and consequential groups of people via social media and keep millions of them from casting ballots, according to a new study that is ...
Phys.org / Astronomers may have just found one of the missing links in galaxy evolution
A team of 48 astronomers from 14 countries, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has discovered a population of dusty, star-forming galaxies at the far edges of the universe that formed only a billion years after ...
Phys.org / Neutron scattering helps clarify magnetic behavior in altermagnetic material
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have identified the true source of a magnetic effect seen in the material ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂), helping resolve an active debate in the rapidly growing field of ...
Phys.org / Storms reveal rare 2,000-year-old footprints on Scottish beach
Storms that recently ravaged Britain's coastline have revealed 2,000-year-old footprints on an Angus beach—one of only a handful of locations in the U.K. where markings of this kind have ever been discovered. The imprints ...
Phys.org / New 'Mars GPS' lets Perseverance pinpoint its location within 25 centimeters
Imagine you're all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to inform you exactly where you are. That's what NASA's Perseverance ...
Phys.org / Antarctic drilling peers deep into ice shelf's past
Scientists say they have drilled deeper than ever beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, peering back millions of years to reveal signs it was once, at least in part, open ocean.
Phys.org / Scientists home in on Acinetobacter baumannii's resistance evolution
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacteria which can become a virulent killer in health-care settings among severely ill patients. The germ has rapidly developed drug resistance to even last-line carbapenem drugs. Now a group ...
Phys.org / Study identifies oaks, dry duff and debris as top power line failure risks
Wildfires and power outages caused by vegetation near powerlines have contributed to some of the state's most destructive fires.
