Phys.org / Scientists uncover environmental cues behind black bear hibernation
New research from Virginia Tech scientists in the College of Natural Resources and Environment provides fresh insight into how environmental conditions influence black bear hibernation, with implications for wildlife management ...
Medical Xpress / Local airflow patterns, not ventilation alone, can drive airborne tuberculosis spread
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of infectious disease deaths, claiming more than 1 million lives every year. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or exhales, and drug-resistant strains and ...
Phys.org / Shark DNA could hold answers to how we age
Age isn't just a number for one of the ocean's top apex predators. It's a mystery University of Georgia researchers are solving. A new UGA study has determined how to estimate the age of sharks by analyzing changes to individual ...
Tech Xplore / Nonmetallic metasurfaces offer a new way to block radiant heat
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and Honeywell Aerospace have developed a new way to reduce the transfer of radiant heat between closely spaced bodies by using thin, ...
Tech Xplore / AI could help design cities, but planners need safeguards
AI is showing up in nearly every aspect of daily life—from internet searches to visits to the doctor's office. It could one day even play a role in the street layout in front of your apartment building.
Tech Xplore / AI-powered terrain recognition helps cyborg cockroaches navigate faster
Cyborg insects combine the mobility of living organisms with miniature electronic devices, offering potential applications in search-and-rescue operations, infrastructure inspection and exploration of environments that are ...
Phys.org / We're building a New York‑sized city every month. That's worrying for our climate
We each need a roof over our heads, classrooms to learn in and offices or spaces to work in. To meet this unprecedented demand for new buildings, globally, we're constructing the equivalent of an entire New York City every ...
Phys.org / Breaking up of swan families in winter disrupts spring migration
Young Bewick's swans only survive their first spring migration if they stay with their parents long enough. If they lose their parents in winter, they leave later and are unable to keep up with the rest of the population. ...
Tech Xplore / Genetic algorithms test cybersecurity defenses against adaptive malware
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way many people approached their work across the globe. For Carnegie Mellon University Africa's Jema Ndibwile, it changed the way he viewed a completely different type of virus: a computer ...
Phys.org / Blood-camouflaged nanoparticles defeat drug-resistant breast tumors in mouse model
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant subtypes of breast cancer, accounting for 15% to 20% of all cases. Unlike other breast cancers, TNBC lacks targetable receptors, leaving ...
Medical Xpress / Younger adults with lung cancer more likely to have targetable genetic changes, study finds
Younger adults with non-small cell lung cancer are significantly more likely than older patients to have genetic alterations that can be matched with targeted therapies, according to a large international study led in part ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify molecule driving one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer
Australian researchers have uncovered a promising new way to tackle one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, raising hopes for more effective treatments to stop the disease from spreading.
