Medical Xpress / Blood vessel features in tumors may help predict patient survival in colorectal cancer
Tumors require a blood supply to grow and survive. The blood vessels that nourish tumors can have different characteristics across cancer types and could be connected to patient survival and outcomes. Researchers from Mass ...
Phys.org / How some cyclists paradoxically start 'from rest' with a non-zero velocity
Some track cyclists appear to break the rules of physics, but a new study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, has created a model explaining the illusion. The results suggest that a quick succession of well-timed ...
Phys.org / Flies, mice and humans share a walking pattern despite radically different bodies
Flies, mice and humans move in different ways because of their very different physiques, but their movements follow a common pattern— joints farther from the center of the body move faster than those closer to the body. This ...
Phys.org / Virtual cells built from 4D AI models and 'digital twins' could speed up drug discovery
Mitochondria—tiny structures that convert nutrients into energy—are often depicted as discrete kidney bean-shaped objects. But in reality, they form a dynamic, interconnected network throughout the entire cell, rapidly splitting ...
Phys.org / Follow the fish: How marine life is helping reveal hidden shipwrecks
In September 2026, 20 Australian university students departed Brisbane for Fiji aboard the CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator on a CAPSTAN sea training voyage. While in coastal waters off Queensland, the students were ...
Tech Xplore / AI might be making women sound bad at work
When prompts to draft work emails and job applications contain language commonly used by women, AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, offer less sophisticated responses than they do to requests for office correspondence containing ...
Medical Xpress / Women with enlarged breast tissue more likely to experience chronic migraine, neck pain and sleep apnea
Women with enlarged breast tissue, known medically as macromastia, may be more likely to experience chronic migraine, neck pain, certain spinal nerve disorders and obstructive sleep apnea, according to a new study by Wake ...
Phys.org / African smoke brightens clouds, but weather patterns offset its cooling effect
Smoke from African agricultural fires brightens clouds over the southeast Atlantic—but new research from scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science shows that the same ...
Phys.org / VR boosts English vocabulary scores for students with dyslexia, pilot study finds
Virtual reality (VR) could be a new tool to help students with dyslexia learn English vocabulary more effectively than conventional instruction alone, according to a pilot study involving 30 learners published in the International ...
Tech Xplore / Google fined $463 million for breaching EU rule on location data
Google has been fined 403 million euros ($463 million) for breaching the European Union's strict privacy rules because it mishandled users' location data, the bloc's data privacy watchdog said Monday.
Tech Xplore / Autonomous robots gain high-resolution radar that avoids 88% of unnecessary computations
Radar, a key sensor for autonomous mobile robots, uses radio waves to determine the distance, speed and direction of surrounding obstacles. Because it operates reliably even under adverse weather conditions, such as rain, ...
Medical Xpress / Novel mouse model reveals the mechanisms of a rare genetic encephalopathy
A team at the Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine has reached a major milestone in understanding a rare and severe form of genetic encephalopathy associated with the DHDDS gene. By developing the first mouse ...
