Medical Xpress / Scars of life: Study shows impact of atopic dermatitis on educational and career choices

Atopic dermatitis (AD), the most common form of eczema, impacts patients' life trajectories beyond the physical scars. A novel study shows that adults with AD, particularly those with childhood onset, report significantly ...

Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues

Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...

Phys.org / ATLAS observes new Bc meson excited state

Protons and neutrons—the building blocks of matter—belong to a huge class of particles called hadrons. Hadrons are composite particles made of quarks that are bound together by the strong force. They are classified into two ...

Medical Xpress / New genetic map of the human eye reveals clues to vision loss

An international team led by University of Manchester scientists has created the most detailed picture yet of how genetic differences shape the way the human eye works. The breakthrough could help explain why millions of ...

Medical Xpress / Study links eight heart-healthy habits to lower diabetes risk in postmenopausal women

Type 2 diabetes is often associated with excessive sugar intake, but lifestyle factors including body weight, exercise, and smoking habits can also influence risk. A new study published in Diabetology has found that greater ...

Phys.org / It looks like rice's own defense, but this fungal trick turns a lifesaving response into a crop-killing weapon

For about half the global population, rice is the staple food. Yet every year, a fungal disease—rice blast—destroys harvests that could feed 60 million people. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have ...

Phys.org / Why the intrinsic quantum effects of axion dark matter are completely undetectable

Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using conventional experimental ...

Medical Xpress / AI uncovers why squeezed tumors grow slower under physical pressure

Researchers have solved a long-standing mystery about why physical forces slow cancer growth—and the answer could reshape how the disease is treated. A multidisciplinary team from University of Galway, CÚRAM, the Taighde ...

Phys.org / Imaginary-time technique speeds X-ray scattering simulations by 50-fold for extreme matter

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a new procedure, enabling them to speed up elaborate computer simulations that analyze matter under extreme conditions. In particular, this work ...

Phys.org / Stretching and squeezing drive the timing of glacial meltwater release

As meltwater drains through and beneath a glacier, it can alter how the ice flows and whether it breaks apart. Meltwater can also cause feedback that leads to more ice loss. Understanding when and how glacial meltwater drains ...

Phys.org / Supercharging solar cells: Quantum dot-molecule hybrid states enable near-maximum efficiency

Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy they absorb. Scientists around the world have been searching for ways to capture more energy from ...

Tech Xplore / Unstable software tests ripple through 55% of OpenStack projects, costing 1,156 developer days

In a study published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, researchers from Kyushu University have found that "flaky tests," which are unstable software tests that seem to randomly pass or fail, do not stay confined ...
