Medical Xpress / Remember to give thanks to yourself during the holidays and beyond
While reflecting on what we're thankful for during the holiday season, we often focus on the external: the company of loved ones. The nourishment of a shared meal. The homes in which we gather.
Medical Xpress / When ribosomes collide, cells launch emergency stress defenses
Ribosomes, the protein factories of the cell, are essential for all living organisms. They bind to mRNA and move along the messenger molecule, reading the genetic code as they go. Using this information, they link amino acids ...
Medical Xpress / New protocol for Treg expansion uses targeted immunotherapy to reduce transplant complications
In preclinical studies, researchers found that priming the immune system with a Treg-expanding therapy before stem cell transplant boosted survival, protected vital organs, and promoted a balanced gut microbiome—offering ...
Phys.org / After nearly 100 years, scientists may have detected dark matter
In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark matter—holding the galaxies ...
Phys.org / Yes, the universe can expand faster than light
An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be straightforward. Objects are still emitting light, and that light takes time to travel from them over to here, ...
Phys.org / 'Truly severe' floods overwhelm Southeast Asia
Authorities across Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia worked on Thursday to reach residents trapped in floods that have killed dozens of people across the region in recent days.
Phys.org / Is the universe Infinite?
The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond our observable horizon.
Tech Xplore / French soccer federation hit by cyber-attack, member data stolen
The French soccer federation has been hit by a cyber-attack that resulted in the theft of data relating to members, it said on Thursday.
Phys.org / Examining why some species developed consciousness while others remained non-conscious
What is the evolutionary advantage of our consciousness? And what can we learn about this from observing birds? Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum published two articles on this topic.
Phys.org / Scientists warn mountain climate change is accelerating faster than predicted, putting billions of people at risk
Mountains worldwide are experiencing climate change more intensely than lowland areas, with potentially devastating consequences for billions of people who live in and/or depend on these regions, according to a major global ...
Phys.org / Consciousness as the foundation: New theory addresses nature of reality
Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of Materials Science at ...
Phys.org / Experimental proof shows quantum world is even stranger than previously thought
The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they are measured, and the very act of measuring a quantum system changes everything. But according ...
