Phys.org / Nutrient imbalance may drive coral disease more than heat stress
Scientists led by the University of Southampton have revealed that an imbalance of nutrients in seawater can cause coral disease—possibly to a greater extent than that from heat stress of warming oceans. New research conducted ...
Tech Xplore / New understanding of insect flight points way to stable flapping-wing robots
The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and difficult to quantify. Cornell researchers have created a computational model that shows the effect ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover beetle transport system for newly identified 'towering' nematodes
In 2025, Konstanz scientists looked very closely at rotting fruit in local orchards, and observed what no one had before—worms, hundreds of them, twisting skyward into self-assembled living structures known as "towers." It ...
Phys.org / Polymer 'bristles' could help repel proteins—and germs—from surfaces in medical settings
A non-toxic coating developed by researchers at University of Toronto Engineering prevents proteins from sticking to surfaces—potentially offering a new tool in the fight against hospital-acquired infections.
Medical Xpress / The brain may use dopamine to bend time and shape memory
Ever heard of getting a "dopamine hit" from something you enjoy? These exciting moments also appear to influence memory, although perhaps not in the way you'd expect.
Medical Xpress / The slow burn behind type 2 diabetes revealed
More than half a billion people worldwide are living with diabetes, the vast majority with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a chronic condition that continues to rise alongside aging populations and changing lifestyles. Despite its ...
Medical Xpress / Hantavirus not like COVID: doctor treating patient in Netherlands
The hantavirus that has broken out on the cruise ship MV Hondius is much less transmissible than COVID, the head of the Dutch unit treating one of the patients told AFP Thursday.
Phys.org / Where was Baltica 616 million years ago? Paleomagnetic data offer revised answer
About 600 million years ago, the continents wandered Earth, yet to settle into their current positions. Their locations during the Ediacaran (as this time is called) have been tough for scientists to pin down. Earth's magnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Expanded TB screening in HIV wards fails to speed treatment, clinical trial shows
A clinical trial conducted in Tanzania and Mozambique and published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases concludes that expanding the use of molecular diagnostic tests on urine and stool samples, in addition to sputum, to detect ...
Phys.org / Why some Europeans face deadlier heat and cold: Inequality map reveals who is most at risk
Regions with greater socioeconomic inequalities are more affected by cold weather, whereas areas with higher levels of wealth and urbanization are at greater risk during heat waves and lower risk during cold spells. This ...
Phys.org / Super transformer aims to bring order to biology's data under one AI model
Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all that information together ...
Phys.org / Nocturnal migratory birds follow rhythm of the moon, study shows
Moonlight determines when the red-necked nightjar feeds, migrates and raises its young. A groundbreaking long-term study from Lund University shows how the migratory bird's entire annual cycle follows the moon's rhythm.
