Dialog / Amazon fish contaminated with toxic metals threaten riverine communities' health
For riverside communities along the Amazon, fish is not a menu choice—it is a lifeline. Millions of people in the Brazilian Amazon depend on fish as their primary source of protein, consuming it daily in quantities far ...
Phys.org / Debugging a quantum processor: New method pinpoints qubit errors during logical operations
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, together with partners from Sydney and Waterloo, have presented a new diagnostic method for quantum computers. It makes errors in individual quantum bits visible during logical ...
Medical Xpress / AI blood test detects early pancreatic cancer with up to 94% accuracy
A team of researchers from Taiwan has developed PanMETAI, an AI-powered platform that analyzes metabolic fingerprints in a simple blood sample to detect pancreatic cancer at its earliest stages—when treatment is most effective—achieving ...
Phys.org / Claims of 'rediscovered' Michelangelos unsettle Renaissance experts
An independent researcher claimed on Wednesday that a marble bust of Christ in a Roman church is by Michelangelo, the latest purported attribution to the Renaissance genius who is one of the most imitated artists in the world.
Phys.org / AI-designed diffractive optical processors pave the way for low-power structural health monitoring
A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring structural vibrations using diffractive optical processors. This new technology uses artificial intelligence ...
Tech Xplore / 'AI will be the end of us': Is Colm Tóibín right about the threat to creative writing?
In 1950, William Faulkner delivered a famous acceptance speech for the Nobel prize in literature in which he rallied for the "inexhaustible [human] voice" and his belief in its supremacy—not merely to endure but to prevail. ...
Medical Xpress / White House autism briefing linked to swift shifts in prescribing patterns
A White House briefing in September 2025 that raised concerns about acetaminophen use during pregnancy and promoted the drug leucovorin as a potential autism treatment was followed by sharp changes in how doctors prescribed ...
Phys.org / Chemists rapidly assemble fusicoccadiene, a complex fungal molecule tied to cancer research
A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug therapies based on the molecule's ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds no evidence that prostate cancer drugs interact with anticoagulants to increase bleeding, clotting risks
In a study of adults with advanced prostate cancer taking androgen-receptor pathway inhibitors and different types of anticoagulants, investigators found no evidence of an increase in patients' bleeding or clotting risks, ...
Phys.org / Climate change pushes tropical insects to their heat limit
Up to half of the insects in the Amazon region could be exposed to life-threatening heat levels due to progressive, anthropogenic global warming. This is shown by a recent study by the universities of Würzburg and Bremen.
Medical Xpress / Smart combinations of antibiotics can slow down resistance
When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side-effect offers an unexpected opportunity in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Phys.org / Using individual atoms to achieve fossil-free chemistry
Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In many cases, this energy barrier is low—such as when striking a match. For many key reactions ...
