Phys.org / Tabby's star may be orbited by a planetary-mass companion
By analyzing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and conducting new radial velocity measurements, U.K. and French astronomers have found evidence that the mysterious Tabby's star may be orbited by ...
Medical Xpress / Chemicals present in drinking water may carry a hidden risk tied to uterine cancer
In a recent study, researchers examined whether certain chemicals present in public drinking water are linked to uterine cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in the United States and one that has been steadily increasing ...
Phys.org / Plant-derived lignin could guide bone repair by forming bone-like minerals
A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath Palakurthy and Professor Rivka ...
Medical Xpress / Being a mother affects health more than being a father, study shows
Having children marks a before and after in people's lives. It is a life event that brings significant biological, psychological and social changes. However, it does not affect the whole population equally. A study conducted ...
Phys.org / Sustainability is not automatic: New model reveals local successes and regional barriers
Whether a region manages its land sustainably cannot be measured by land-use change alone. Sustainability is a delicate balance: it must be ecologically sound, legally secure and socially just. Yet capturing this interplay ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop a two-step system for detecting and classifying brain tumors from MRI images
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based method that could significantly improve the detection and classification of brain tumors from MRI scans, achieving higher accuracy than conventional diagnostic ...
Phys.org / Tropical insects may be running out of room as temperatures rise
New research from Costa Rica's Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) suggests that tropical insects may be vulnerable to rising temperatures. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined ...
Phys.org / Ultracold neutrons don't disappear into the mirror world
For decades, a theory in physics has postulated the existence of a mirror world whose interaction with our own reality is extremely feeble. The particles in this mirror universe are also thought to be candidates for dark ...
Phys.org / New cell-based method could expand human milk oligosaccharides available for infant formula
Researchers have developed a new cell-based approach to produce several sugars naturally found in human breast milk. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex sugars in human milk that can act as prebiotics and influence ...
Medical Xpress / Resistance training activates the muscle repair machinery, study finds
Researchers from the Universities of Hildesheim, Bonn and Freiburg have uncovered how human skeletal muscle responds to resistance exercise at the molecular level. Their findings provide new insights that could help optimize ...
Phys.org / Mesolithic hunter-gatherers on Malta relied on repeated sea crossings, study suggests
The existence of humans on Malta, a tiny Mediterranean island, during the Mesolithic period is puzzling. Archaeological evidence indicates that foragers occupied the Maltese islands between 8,500 and 7,500 years ago, and ...
Phys.org / Global hotspots where drought poses the greatest threat to crop production mapped
As temperature and precipitation fluctuations continue to influence crop production worldwide, it is important to understand where crops are most vulnerable to these environmental stressors.
