Phys.org / What makes Mars' magnetotail flap? Two spacecraft point to magnetic reconnection
The sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field-carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields and atmospheres of several of our solar system's planets and other bodies, ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy shows early promise in sparing cancer patients from bladder removal
A drug that helps the immune system find cancer cells also helps patients avoid having their bladders surgically removed (cystectomy), a new study shows. The findings apply to serious cases after tumors have already spread ...
Phys.org / New device aims to protect the Earth from Martian microbes
The possibility of life on other planets is one of the biggest mysteries in science. But what would happen if we actually found it? Our scientists are preparing for this possibility by helping to develop a new system that ...
Medical Xpress / Why concussion patients without family doctors are more likely to end up in the emergency department
Patients experiencing higher levels of socioeconomic marginalization and without established family physicians were more likely to seek initial concussion care in hospital emergency departments (EDs) rather than outpatient ...
Medical Xpress / Physicians pay price for parental leave: Increasing workload in early pregnancy, returning soon after childbirth
Physicians experiencing pregnancy often maintained or increased their workload in the first and second trimesters, then reduced it in the third, according to a new research study from ICES and Unity Health Toronto. The study ...
Phys.org / Hawaiian green sea turtles emerge as reef defenders against invasive algae
An invasive algae already well-established in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands is raising concern among researchers as it threatens to spread into the main Hawaiian Islands. Scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping the hidden signals of breast cancer risk
Some of the earliest warning signs of breast cancer risk may be hidden deep within the molecular makeup of breast tissue—long before anything appears on a scan. To uncover those signals, researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer ...
Medical Xpress / Millions of people face life-altering barriers to their medical records, banks and other services
In an increasingly digital world, millions of disabled people are being systematically excluded from critical services every day, from their medical records to bank accounts to emergency response systems. These services are ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered robots offer new hope to German factories
A blue-eyed humanoid robot carefully opens a box and places a tool inside as a crowd of visitors watch the demonstration of "physical AI" skills at a major industrial trade fair in Germany.
Phys.org / Mind the gap! The semiconductor industry is relying on the wrong materials
2D materials are widely seen as a promising path toward better computer chips. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that some of these materials are unsuitable due to an underestimated effect. But there are alternatives.
Tech Xplore / He helped build AI. Now he is sounding the alarm about what comes next for everyone
Artificial Intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton insisted Tuesday on the need to strictly regulate the technology, warning that it remained unclear if humanity could co-exist with super intelligent AI.
Dialog / Sprinkling nanoparticles on spintronics
Today, I want to walk you through a deceptively simple innovation from the lab at Loughborough University (PI: Prof Marco Peccianti): what happens when we decorate a spintronic heterostructure with a sparse layer of plasmonic ...
