Phys.org / Safer space travel: Scientists create a cosmic ray simulator
Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the first time on European soil, an international research team in collaboration with the European ...
Phys.org / Physicists observe rare nuclear isomer in ytterbium-150 for first time
Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei that exist in a long-lived ...
Medical Xpress / High-altitude survival gene may help reverse nerve damage
A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as cerebral paralysis and multiple sclerosis (MS). The finding, ...
Phys.org / A pathway to achieve high well-being and a safe climate without relying on GDP growth
Governments' attempts to achieve climate goals are falling short, in large part because wealthy economies are continuing to pursue economic growth. As these economies ramp up production and consumption, they make climate ...
Phys.org / From plastics to pharmaceuticals, a new discovery sparks chain reactions
After years of research, international experts have confirmed the discovery of a new chemical reaction, launching new opportunities for rapid advances in a range of fields—from recycled plastics to pharmaceuticals. In the ...
Phys.org / Microbial clues uncover how wild songbirds respond to stress
Every animal carries a microscopic community of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that play a critical role in health. These gut microbes help regulate the immune system, support digestion, and even influence how animals ...
Phys.org / Fish stocks are on the line: Climate change impacts global fishing yields
As the saying goes, there are plenty more fish in the sea—but climate change is rapidly challenging that notion, with fish stocks around the world under threat. New modeling from Monash University predicts how climate change ...
Medical Xpress / Predictive AI tools can enable early detection of intimate partner violence
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that uses machine learning to identify individuals who may be at risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) using information ...
Medical Xpress / Microsoft unveils AI health tool that can read your medical records
Microsoft is rolling out a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to help people manage their health.
Medical Xpress / Enzyme-blocking cream may prevent or slow growth of some common skin cancers, preclinical study reveals
A topical cream activated the skin's immune defenses and suppressed tumor growth in two preclinical models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Phys.org / Geneticists challenge common model of how cells retain their identity
One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study by two research groups at Umeå University. In Science Advances, they present results that overturn ...
Phys.org / Galactic islands of tranquility: 'Little red dots' may have brewed life's building blocks
Astronomers have found that both the core of our Milky Way and the earliest proto-galaxies in the universe share a surprising trait: They are unusually calm and quiet in terms of harsh radiation. This tranquility is not just ...
