Phys.org / Student researcher leads discovery of fastest gamma-ray burst ever recorded
Sarah Dalessi, a fifth-year student in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, is the lead author of a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal ...
Phys.org / Nearly 8,000 animal species are at risk as extreme heat and land-use change collide
Almost 8,000 animal species could be pushed closer to extinction by the end of this century as the interacting effects of climate change-driven extreme heat and human land-use change create increasingly unsuitable conditions ...
Medical Xpress / Priming for depression in a dimly lit world
St. Hedwig Hospital and Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin researchers report that repeated mornings spent under dim indoor light in healthy young adults raised afternoon and evening cortisol and reshaped sleep in ways ...
Phys.org / The Methuselah worm: The oldest university in the U.S. is home to the world's oldest ribbon worm
Penicillin, X-rays, vulcanized rubber—some of the greatest scientific discoveries happened by accident. Thanks to his love of invertebrates, William & Mary Biology Professor Jon Allen has added another entry to that list ...
Medical Xpress / For the first time, next-gen infrared fluorescence imaging helps surgeons see blood perfusion during esophageal surgery
A cross-disciplinary research team has, for the first time, successfully applied NIR-II (1,000–3,000 nm) fluorescence video imaging during esophagectomy—a complex surgical procedure involving the resection of a diseased ...
Phys.org / Male bonobos track females' reproductive cycle to maximize mating success
Male bonobos can decipher females' unreliable fertility signals, allowing them to focus their efforts on matings with the highest chance of conception, according to a study by Heungjin Ryu at Kyoto University, Japan, and ...
Medical Xpress / Dual-action arts and well-being program transforms dementia care
A new arts and well-being program co-developed by the University of South Australia, Flinders University and the University of Adelaide shows that supporting the social needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers ...
Medical Xpress / Drug resistance in pancreatic cancer: Scientists pinpoint major and minor signaling pathways that drive it
Cancer drug resistance is the devastating reason that treatments fail and cancers metastasize, spreading to distant sites seeding new resistant tumors elsewhere in the body.
Phys.org / Decoding the chemistry of life: Maximum entropy reveals how mutations alter enzymes and drive drug resistance
For decades, Arieh Warshel, USC Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and a 2013 Nobel laureate, has used computer simulations to understand how enzymes—fundamental to nearly every biological process in living organisms—carry ...
Tech Xplore / AI predicts complex social group behavior using individual attributes
Professor Kijung Shin's research team at the Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI has developed an AI technology that predicts complex social group behavior by analyzing how individual attributes such as age and role influence ...
Phys.org / How to watch one of the year's best meteor showers, the Geminids
It's time for one of the strongest meteor showers of the year.
Phys.org / Simplified lab process produces potent nerve-blocking molecules found in shellfish
Chemists have long been fascinated and frustrated by saxitoxin: a molecule that causes temporary paralysis by blocking the electrical signals that nerve cells (neurons) use to activate muscle, and which accumulates in shellfish ...
