Phys.org / 'Disarming' discovery could help scientists fight deadly fungal infections
Researchers from Monash University, in collaboration with the University of Warwick, have discovered how the bacterial antibiotic "gladiolin" can disarm Candida albicans, one of the leading causes of life-threatening fungal ...
Phys.org / Hubble solves merger mystery from Milky Way's early years
Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, grew to its current size in part by consuming smaller galaxies. Now, new data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show definitive evidence of a dwarf galaxy merging with the young Milky Way ...
Medical Xpress / 'Breakthrough' mRNA cancer drug curbs melanoma in large trial
US drugmakers Merck and Moderna said Wednesday a personalized cancer treatment had shown success in reducing the recurrence of melanoma tumors in a late-stage trial hailed by experts as a "breakthrough."
Medical Xpress / Intermittent fasting may help type 1 diabetics control their blood sugar levels
A UIC study led by kinesiology and nutrition professor Krista Varady found that time-restricted eating may be a safe, effective tool to control blood sugar in adults with type 1 diabetes. The work is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Peru's highest mountain confirms tropics were a major methane source before the industrial era
A new analysis of ice cores collected from the Andes in Peru has produced the first global record of historical tropical methane, filling a critical gap in our understanding of the origins of Earth's greenhouse gases.
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed membrane increases oxygen transfer in artificial lungs by up to 88%
For people with severe lung diseases, a transplant of a healthy organ is often their only chance of survival. However, donor lungs are in short supply. A new artificial lung could provide a solution.
Phys.org / Experiment shows how AI discoveries can shape human cultural evolution
Artificial intelligence can develop solutions that humans would be unlikely to discover on their own. But what happens when machines do more than solve individual problems and actually discover entirely new solution strategies? ...
Tech Xplore / Polymer cage extends zinc-iodine battery life beyond 60,000 cycles
While soaring demand for lithium-ion batteries pushes prices higher, Flinders University experts are making headway in developing a safe, more sustainable aqueous zinc-iodine rechargeable battery. In their latest study, published ...
Tech Xplore / Inexpensive reflective tiles pave the way for millimeter wave wireless communications
Unlike Wi-Fi or cellular signals, millimeter-wave wireless communication channels are unable to pass through walls, furniture or other objects. This reality is part of what is holding back the implementation of millimeter-wave ...
Phys.org / Two eyeless shrimp-like species found in Japan's groundwater are new to science
Researchers have identified two new species in the genus Bogidiella, small shrimp-like amphipods that live in subterranean aquatic environments, from cave waters on the Ryukyu Islands, a subtropical island chain in southwestern ...
Phys.org / Artificial intelligence acts as an 'ideological chameleon' and may deepen political polarization
Researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, examined the ideological stance of large language models—artificial intelligence systems trained to understand and generate human ...
Tech Xplore / More is different when AI agent populations work together, study suggests
New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that when artificial intelligence (AI) agents interact in groups, their number is not merely a technical detail. It is a decisive factor in ...
