Phys.org / From concrete walls to living edges, here's how riverside habitats are being restored along the Thames
The Thames estuary in southeast England—the tidal stretch of the river—once supported extensive saltmarshes, seagrass meadows and oyster beds. These shallow areas, which flood and drain with the tides, provided vital ...
Medical Xpress / Reversing treatment resistance in prostate cancer: Study solves longstanding puzzle in tumor biology
Scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) have discovered a key mechanism that makes prostate cancer cells resistant to the latest drugs used to treat them. Their findings, reported in the current ...
Phys.org / NASA-JAXA XRISM finds elemental bounty in supernova remnant
For the first time, scientists have made a clear X-ray detection of chlorine and potassium in the wreckage of a star using data from the Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) spacecraft.
Phys.org / Parasitic fungus may have emerged 18 million years before the ants with which it lives today
A genus of fungi previously considered a parasite of fungi associated with ants may actually have much more complex ecological functions. According to a study published in the journal Communications Biology, one piece of ...
Phys.org / Bacterium's molecular speargun defense may leave it exposed to antibiotics
Countless bacterial species share cramped environments where competition for space and resources is fierce. Some rely on a molecular speargun to outcompete their opponents. One of them is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is widespread ...
Medical Xpress / Childhood leukemia aggressiveness depends on timing of genetic mutation, research reveals
A team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has uncovered why children with the same leukemia-causing gene mutation can have dramatically different outcomes: It depends on when in development the ...
Phys.org / Sum-frequency microscope can image an invisible 2D material
Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists use lasers to locate ancient settlements and artifacts on Greek Islands
A group of scientists are studying the Cyclades, an island group in Greece's Aegean Sea, looking for signs of early human activity. They are using technology such as laser scanning and magnetometry, which may be more effective ...
Phys.org / A geometric recipe for stabilizing atomically thin metals
Metallenes are atomically thin metals whose unique properties make them extremely promising for nanoscale applications. However, their extreme thinness makes them also flimsy.
Medical Xpress / Life after stroke: The hidden struggle for recovery
Stroke is one of the leading causes of serious and complex adult disability; anyone reading this could be the next stroke survivor.
Medical Xpress / How the 'hypnagogic state' of drowsiness could enhance your creativity
The Beatles' song Yesterday was written in what psychologists refer to as the "hypnagogic state." This is the twilight zone between sleep and wakefulness, when we drowsily linger in a semi-conscious state, experiencing vivid ...
Phys.org / The 'hobbits' mysteriously disappeared 50,000 years ago. Our new study reveals what happened to their home
About 50,000 years ago, humanity lost one of its last surviving hominin cousins, Homo floresiensis (also known as "the hobbit" thanks to its small stature). The cause of its disappearance, after more than a million years ...
