Phys.org / Acoustic communication—an overlooked driver in boxfish evolution
A new international study reveals the unexpected importance of acoustic communication in the evolution of boxfishes. This discovery offers new perspectives on the role of acoustic communication in the evolutionary history ...
Phys.org / Engineered enzymes enable greener one-pot amide synthesis for drug manufacturing
A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top 200 small-molecule drugs ...
Medical Xpress / Key gene behind drug resistance in small cell lung cancer identified
A research team has discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Their study shows that the silencing of the RASA4 gene through epigenetic mechanisms ...
Medical Xpress / Ketamine may fight chronic fatigue, study suggests
Ketamine, a decades-old anesthetic and fast-acting treatment for severe depression, may also offer some people rapid relief from chronic fatigue, according to a small proof-of-concept study led by researchers at Rutgers Health ...
Phys.org / Extraterrestrial strategy: How the US could achieve energy dominance in space
Energy is fundamentally important—researchers have linked a lack of reliable energy to poor physical health, poor mental health and higher mortality rates. But when astronauts push the boundaries of space exploration, energy ...
Phys.org / Where did that raindrop come from? Climate model ensemble captures worldwide water isotopes over 45 years
Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are called isotopes. As water evaporates or moves through the atmosphere, the amount of these isotopes changes ...
Tech Xplore / Power in motion: Transforming ocean wave energy harvesting with gyroscopes
Ocean waves are one of the most abundant and predictable renewable energy sources on the planet, yet efficiently harnessing their power remains a major challenge. Traditional devices typically operate efficiently only within ...
Phys.org / By The Numbers: A look at European rocket Ariane 64's maiden launch
Europe's Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to make a powerful debut with a new equipment configuration Thursday, flying with four boosters to carry Amazon's internet satellites.
Phys.org / Fear or dread? How intensity of emotion may shape climate policy support
New research has found that we are more likely to back policies aimed at tackling climate change when we feel fearful, but feelings of dread make us less likely to support such policies.
Tech Xplore / Anthropic's 'anonymous' interviews cracked with an LLM
In December, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic unveiled its newest tool, Interviewer, used in its initial implementation "to help understand people's perspectives on AI," according to a press release. As part ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds distinct gut bacteria in newly diagnosed children with Crohn's disease
NYU researchers have found a microbial signature of pediatric Crohn's disease that differs from the makeup of gut bacteria in children with other gastrointestinal conditions, with Crohn's patients harboring more pro-inflammatory ...
Medical Xpress / Stimulating the central thalamus during anesthesia sheds light on neural basis of consciousness
The brains of mammals continuously combine signals originating from different regions to produce various sensations, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. This process, known as information integration, is what allows brain regions ...
