Phys.org / Metallic markers make direct measurement of protein activity possible
Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research methods, scientists studying this phenomenon had to infer how cells choose to sustain themselves or self-destruct ...
Tech Xplore / Foundation AI models trained on physics, not words, are driving scientific discovery
While popular AI models such as ChatGPT are trained on language or photographs, new models created by researchers from the Polymathic AI collaboration are trained using real scientific datasets. The models are already using ...
Phys.org / Exceptionally well-preserved ant in Goethe's amber examined
Even some 200 years after his death, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's scientific curiosity continues to yield new insights. This has now been demonstrated by biologists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena while closely examining ...
Phys.org / Ancient Martian beach discovered, providing new clues to red planet's habitability
New findings from NASA's Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake—considerably expanding the timeline for potential ...
Medical Xpress / Secondhand vape plumes could form lung-damaging radicals
Electronic cigarettes—or vapes—can release puffs of vapor in aromatic clouds. The health risks of breathing in this secondhand or passive vapor aren't fully understood. So, researchers reporting in Environmental Science ...
Phys.org / Why termite kings and queens are monogamous: Scientists uncover surprising answer
Termites are among the most successful animals on Earth, forming vast societies that can number in the millions. But how did such complex social systems evolve from solitary ancestors that looked much like today's cockroaches?
Phys.org / Light offers a non-invasive alternative to painkillers in veterinary medicine
Turning on the light to turn off pain: This is the principle behind a new analgesic method called light-induced analgesia (LIA), discovered by scientists from the CNRS1 in rodents. Noninvasive and drug-free, LIA proves to ...
Phys.org / Meerkat sunning calls may act as 'vocal grooming' for social bonding
As the sun rises over the Kalahari Desert, meerkat groups emerge from their burrows and gather closely, turning their bodies toward the warmth of the early light. These quiet morning moments are more than a way to warm up; ...
Medical Xpress / Radiotherapy is more effective when administered at the right time of day, study finds
A team of researchers have identified a fundamental mechanism that links the 24-hour circadian cycle to the precise repair of DNA breaks. This study, conducted by researchers from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology ...
Medical Xpress / High blood pressure at birth tied to hypertension risk in childhood
High blood pressure at birth may be an early warning sign, setting the stage for cardiovascular disease later in life. A longitudinal study, the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort, set out to understand whether blood pressure (BP) levels ...
Phys.org / Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs had limited impact on sharks and rays, study shows
A new study using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) has revealed that the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago caused only a modest decline in shark and ray species. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts six-month risks for cancer patients after heart attack
Cancer patients who suffer a heart attack face a dangerous mix of risks, which makes their clinical treatment particularly challenging. As a result, patients with cancer have been systematically excluded from many clinical ...
