Medical Xpress / Prime-and-pull vaccine may offer lasting genital herpes protection
Genital herpes is a lifelong infection. While available treatments can manage symptoms, they cannot cure the infection or prevent transmission. Now, Yale School of Medicine researchers have taken a significant step toward ...
Phys.org / Nanotube-based thermoelectrics open a new pathway to waste-heat energy conversion
Whenever someone asks ChatGPT a question, heat is generated somewhere in the server room—a data center. When an electric vehicle battery generates heat during operation, the heat must be managed continuously. Manufacturing ...
Phys.org / Room-temperature device synchronizes distant laser spots into single coherent 'supermode'
Researchers have demonstrated a new way to make spatially separated lasers synchronize and act as a single coherent light source—without extreme conditions or complex materials.
Science X / Deep in Libya's Sahara, tiny primate fossils are rewriting how our ancient cousins got to Africa
Hidden beneath the scorched expanse of the central Libyan Sahara lies a prehistoric graveyard that was once a lush, green gateway to a continent. For decades, the origin of Africa's higher primates has been one of evolution's ...
Phys.org / Webb spots the birth of a giant galaxy and a supermassive black hole
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to catch an extraordinary glimpse of a massive galaxy taking shape in the early universe. They identified a compact group of at least six galaxies that are likely to merge ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted IL-15 drug in patient testing revives exhausted T cells without triggering severe inflammation
For some people, cancer immunotherapies are life-changing. These treatments can turn the body's own immune system against a tumor, either eliminating it or shrinking it enough to make surgery possible. But these therapies ...
Medical Xpress / COVID-19 vaccine study that was blocked from CDC journal is published elsewhere
A study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness has finally been published after being blocked from a government health journal.
Phys.org / Arctic shipping alters cloud formation, study finds
A study led by the EPFL suggests that shipping emissions influence climate-relevant cloud formation and may affect regional climate processes far beyond the polar region.
Phys.org / Local species trends may flag global extinction risk, global study finds
New research from the University of St. Andrews has shown that higher extinction risk is associated with a higher frequency of decreasing local prevalence of species, in an analysis of one of the most comprehensive long-term ...
Medical Xpress / Parasitic worms may help scientists develop therapies for inflammatory conditions
A parasitic worm might be the impetus behind a new generation of medicine. In a recent review in published in Clinical & Translational Immunology, Neima Briggs, MD, Ph.D., instructor of medicine (infectious diseases) at Yale ...
Phys.org / Powerful seismic waves from Japan's 2011 earthquake struck Earth's core and bounced back up, moving the island eastward
In 2011, Japan reeled from the effects of a devastating magnitude 9.0 earthquake. But unnoticed in the chaos resulting from the quake, its major aftershocks and the tsunami it caused, something strange happened. About 16 ...
Medical Xpress / Tourist hotspots could be creating new routes for parasite transmission
Researchers from the University of Lincoln have contributed to an international study examining how interactions between people, free-roaming dogs and wildlife at urban tourist destinations may create opportunities for parasite ...
