Phys.org / Climate change makes extreme West Africa rainfall five times likelier, study finds
Climate change has made extreme rainfall in West Africa five times more likely than in the late 19th century, scientists said Thursday, after regional floods killed nearly 100 people last month.
Tech Xplore / NASA uses subscale aircraft to accelerate flight innovation
Testing new aerospace concepts in flight remains one of NASA's most effective ways to advance knowledge and reduce risk.
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover genetic clues from a tumor-prone reptile that could advance cancer research
A new study led by experts at the University of Nottingham suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads. The findings of the study, ...
Phys.org / Genetic databases as the key to global benefit-sharing
An international research team led by the Science Policy and Internationalization Department at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures has published a practical guide in the journal ...
Phys.org / Bacteria turn dissolved uranium into stable compound in 130 days, study finds
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), together with Wismut GmbH and scientists from the University of Granada in Spain, have demonstrated for the first time that bacteria can convert uranium dissolved ...
Phys.org / Americans increasingly view illicit drug policy through a partisan lens, new analysis finds
Since the early 1970s, when the Nixon administration launched the "war on drugs," Gallup has been asking Americans how they feel about problems surrounding illicit drugs. But the war has not gone well and Gallup's surveys ...
Phys.org / Research brings the era of microbial cell factories one step closer
The era of "biomanufacturing," in which microbes, not petroleum, produce chemical products, is one step closer. A KAIST research team has analyzed the key challenges limiting the commercialization of biomanufacturing and ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover how macrophages age differently throughout the body
Why does the immune system become less effective as we age? A new USC study published in BMC Biology offers fresh insights by examining a key immune cell type across tissues: macrophages.
Medical Xpress / Ozempic-like drugs have more benefits to the body than just losing weight, meta-analysis shows
A meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials involving more than 23,000 participants, presented at the International Congress on Obesity (ICO 2026), hosted by the World Obesity Federation (WOF) in Mexico City, Mexico ...
Tech Xplore / Lower printing temperatures cut defects in aluminum 3D-printed parts, study finds
Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered how subtle changes in temperature during a promising metal 3D printing process can significantly affect the quality of aluminum components.
Phys.org / Immune cells get transformed into fungus-fighting nanoparticles
Tiny particles made from the membranes of human immune cells could offer a promising new way to fight fungal infections that are becoming harder to treat. Engineers at the University of California San Diego created antifungal ...
Tech Xplore / Testing the limits of what's possible (and what isn't) with AI
When can we trust the results we get from AI, and when is learning impossible? Researchers have shown that there are some problems that even the most powerful AI cannot reliably solve, no matter how much data it is given.
