Phys.org / Jupiter's Galilean moons may have gained life's building blocks at birth
Southwest Research Institute was part of an international team that demonstrated how complex organic molecules (COMs), key chemical precursors to life, could have been incorporated into Jupiter's Galilean moons during their ...
Phys.org / The wild can be a 'death trap' for rescued animals
A new study has found that the wild can be a "death trap" for animals that are released from captivity after previously being rescued. The research, published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, involved Anglia ...
Phys.org / Nutrient-driven 'death fronts' may explain why some antibiotics fail outside the lab
Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a rise in antibiotic resistance that renders existing treatments ineffective, new agents are urgently ...
Phys.org / How studying yeast in the gut could lead to new, better drugs
A new study sheds light on the behavior of yeast cells in the gut, paving the way for new lines of yeast that more efficiently produce therapeutic drugs tailored to address specific diseases. The research is published in ...
Tech Xplore / Rise of the rice robots—creating active smart materials
Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to design a new material that could be used to build "soft" robots that change stiffness automatically ...
Tech Xplore / Solvent‑free perovskite solar cell technology could pave way for scalable production
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe that markedly enhances the crystal quality of vacuum-deposited perovskite films. This advance brings ...
Medical Xpress / Maternal infections during pregnancy increase the risk of suicidal behaviors in their offspring, study finds
Past medical research consistently showed that specific events unfolding during pregnancy can influence the health of their offspring after birth. While this has been widely observed in the context of physical health, for ...
Phys.org / Fungi could transform leftovers into lifelines
As the global population climbs toward 10 billion and climate change strains farmland, scientists are searching for new ways to feed the world. A group of Cornell food science researchers say one answer may lie not in fields ...
Medical Xpress / How social media draws vulnerable users back to eating disorder content
People recovering from eating disorders often use social media for support, seeking out recovery content, body-positive creators and others with similar experiences. But recent research my colleagues and I have conducted ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 drugs combined with healthy lifestyle habits linked to reduced cardiovascular risk among diabetes patients
Individuals living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) had a significantly lower risk of poor cardiovascular health when they used a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in combination with adhering to healthy lifestyle habits, according ...
Phys.org / How the color of a theater affects sound perception
Live music can engage more than just one sense, despite it being an auditory medium. Lighting and visual effects can enhance the listening experience, but it is unclear if they can also affect the impression of the sound. ...
Phys.org / Twisting optical fiber creates a robust new pathway for light
Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University of Cambridge and international ...
