Phys.org / Gabon battles for baby sea turtles' survival
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, newly hatched sea turtles emerged on a Gabonese beach to embark on the treacherous 10-meter (33-foot) scramble across the sand to the ocean.
Medical Xpress / Teens who sleep past 8 a.m. eat more and move less, study suggests
When people think about ways to improve cardiovascular health, diet and exercise are often at the top of the list. But long-term health, especially in adolescents, might start with something more fundamental: sleep. A new ...
Phys.org / Quantum computer accurately simulates real magnetic materials, reproducing national laboratory data
Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover them they rely on sophisticated ...
Phys.org / Unlocking scalable entanglement will enable next-generation quantum computing
Quantum computing promises to transform our world in rapid, radical and revolutionary ways: solving in seconds problems that would take classical computers years, accelerating the discovery of new medicines, creating sustainable ...
Phys.org / New synthetic origin of replication lets multiple plasmids coexist in one bacterial cell
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature Communications publication. In the study, Chappell describes an innovation in plasmids, ...
Medical Xpress / Designing global flu vaccines? Studies suggest common IGHD deletions may block key antibodies
Inherited variations in antibody genes can affect how we respond to infections and vaccines, show two new studies from Karolinska Institutet published in the journal Immunity. The researchers have mapped immune gene variation ...
Phys.org / Beyond lipid nanoparticles: How custom polymers and AI may reshape gene therapies
Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA play a central role in gene therapies and vaccines. They store and transmit biological information. In order for them to work in the body, they must enter the cells using chemical carrier ...
Medical Xpress / Single-cell study reveals how immune memory cells remember threats
Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory and its links to diseases ...
Medical Xpress / How some autoantibodies contribute to clots: The C4BP link and a path to treatment
Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered a missing link behind the harmful effects of autoantibodies linked to blood clots, pregnancy complications and other inflammatory conditions, according to a new study published ...
Phys.org / New model finds complex earthquake patterns of the Phlegraean Fields near Naples
The Phlegraean Fields volcanic complex, located beneath the metropolitan area of Naples—a city of 900,000 inhabitants in Italy—has been rising increasingly since 2005, accompanied by a growing number of small earthquakes. ...
Phys.org / Rare sperm whale birth and coordinated caregiving revealed by drone footage and underwater audio
Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) has published two scientific studies presenting the most comprehensive documentation of a sperm whale birth ever recorded and the first quantitative evidence of cooperative birth ...
Medical Xpress / Implantable islet cells could control diabetes without insulin injections
Most diabetes patients must carefully monitor their blood sugar levels and inject insulin multiple times per day, to help keep their blood sugar from getting too high. As a possible alternative to those injections, MIT researchers ...
