Phys.org / Rare 567‑million‑year‑old fossils refine our understanding of early animal evolution
From butterflies to blue whales, corals and worms, Earth is home to an incredible diversity of animals. How all of these animals evolved from earlier, simpler ancestors is one of the most exciting stories in the history book ...
Phys.org / New field evidence from Canada shows old wells can leave a hidden leakage footprint
Old oil and gas wells may continue to affect the environment long after they have stopped producing, with new field evidence showing that their leakage footprint can be broader and more persistent than surface methane measurements ...
Medical Xpress / New technique discovers previously unknown population of immune cells in the Alzheimer's brain
A newly developed microscopy technique allows, for the first time, the visualization of more than 30 protein markers simultaneously in the human brain and uses bioinformatics to analyze their spatial relationships. In the ...
Phys.org / SMILE spacecraft launches to capture first X-ray views of Earth's magnetic shield
A joint European-Chinese spacecraft blasted into orbit Tuesday to investigate what happens when extreme winds and giant explosions of plasma shot out from the sun slam into Earth's magnetic shield.
Phys.org / Urban life makes animals bolder, more aggressive across 133 species, analysis finds
A global analysis has found that urban animals are bolder and more aggressive, exploratory and active than their rural counterparts. The findings are published in the Journal of Animal Ecology.
Medical Xpress / How medical education can revive the physician–scientist pipeline
The physician–scientist has long occupied a unique place in medicine—bridging the laboratory and the clinic, translating scientific discoveries into innovative patient care. But that role is becoming increasingly rare. The ...
Phys.org / This German dialect leaves AI baffled, exposing a digital language blind spot
How well do language models understand Meenzerisch, the dialect spoken in the German city of Mainz? A research team led by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has now investigated this question for the first time. Meenzerisch ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals brain changes linked to alcohol addiction recovery
Scientists say they've uncovered striking new evidence of how alcohol addiction impacts the brain's learning systems—and how those systems may slowly adapt during recovery—in a new study published in Clinical Neurophysiology ...
Tech Xplore / Scalable manufacturing of perovskite photovoltaics achieved through fast, solvent-free vacuum deposition
Solar energy is a cornerstone of the energy transition. Tandem solar cells made of perovskite and silicon can achieve higher efficiencies than conventional silicon cells, but their industrial manufacturing remains a challenge. ...
Medical Xpress / Ozempic and other GLP-1 RAs could slow progression of some cancers, data suggest
Real-world data show that GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) may reduce metastatic progression of certain obesity-related cancers, namely lung, breast, colorectal, and liver cancers. In addition, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) expression ...
Medical Xpress / New study could improve testing and treatment for rare brain, spinal cord, and eye cancers
A new study has identified hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1) as a biomarker that could make it easier to diagnose rare but aggressive forms of brain and eye cancer earlier and with fewer invasive tests.
Medical Xpress / One in four doctors believe human preservation and future revival could work, but not without challenges
A new survey of U.S. physicians focuses on human preservation procedures and the feasibility of future revival. Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston of Monash University, Australia, and colleagues present their findings in the study, ...
