Phys.org / Hidden health risks found in New York City's free-roaming cats
Cats may be cute and adorable, but stray and feral cats can sometimes pose a risk to human health. Veterinary researchers have discovered that more than 50% of free-roaming cats in New York City carry parasites that could ...
Phys.org / Evolutionary history shapes plant carbon storage strategies worldwide
Two types of carbohydrates are important to plants—structural carbohydrates (which form cell walls) and nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs). The latter group represents plants' stored energy reserves, which can be used to ...
Medical Xpress / How an emerging class of tick-borne viruses escape human immune defenses
Warmer temperatures bring out ticks that spread diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But another class of emerging tick-borne pathogens—nairoviruses—is on the rise. Some nairoviruses cause high ...
Phys.org / 'Silly sprinklers' put in reverse to further unravel decades-old physics puzzle
Each summer, lawns are marked by a familiar addition: "silly sprinklers," whose loops and spirals spew water in creative ways. While seemingly frivolous in their construction, a team of mathematicians has used their design ...
Tech Xplore / 20 years ago, China bet big on electric vehicles. Now Western carmakers are feeling the pain
In Germany, Japan and the United States, famous carmakers are in trouble. One reason is intense competition from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers—and growing public demand for EVs. The automakers that dominated the ...
Medical Xpress / Weight loss drugs could help with binge eating disorder
Drugs commonly used for weight loss, known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, have been found to reduce the key symptoms of binge eating disorder in a new review of evidence led by University College London (UCL) researchers.
Tech Xplore / Porous material could pull 1.8 liters of drinking water daily from dry air
Researchers in chemistry and materials science at Kiel University are working with partners to develop new water sources for the Mediterranean region. "Regions like these are facing rising temperatures and declining rainfall. ...
Phys.org / AI helps scientists improve prediction of which DNA sequences bind to each other
Researchers have demonstrated a novel AI model that can predict which DNA molecules bind with other DNA molecules. A more thorough understanding of these hypercomplex binding relationships has utility in applications ranging ...
Dialog / How the built environment can help protect mental health in a changing climate
When people think about climate change, they often picture melting glaciers, stronger storms, rising temperatures, or prolonged droughts. These visible consequences dominate headlines and shape public discussions. Yet another ...
Tech Xplore / Paintable electrodes could power creative and colorful wearable sensors
Engineers at Penn State are blending art and science to create cute, paint-on tattoos that could help spot heart attacks early, power robotic prosthetics and read brain waves—all within a colorful, customizable system that ...
Medical Xpress / Internet searches on weight-loss medications have increased 25-fold since the launch of GLP-1 drugs
Public interest in obesity medication has risen 25-fold since the launch of GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs, new research presented at the International Congress on Obesity (ICO2026) in Mexico City, Mexico, hosted by the World ...
Phys.org / Highly filled liquid epoxy for smaller, more reliable chip packaging
As computer chips become more powerful and compact, the materials that protect them must perform better than ever. In advanced chip packaging, liquid epoxy is widely used because it can flow into tiny spaces before curing ...
