Phys.org / Old plant populations offer new clues to climate resilience
When scientists think about how plants will respond to climate change, they often look north. As temperatures rise, many species are expected to shift their ranges toward cooler regions with a loss of populations in warmer ...
Medical Xpress / Malaria's hidden toll on children: Why survivors may struggle in school years later
A disease transmitted by the bite of a tiny insect—one that once devastated entire armies—remains among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2024 alone, there were 282 million cases of malaria reported and 610,000 deaths ...
Medical Xpress / Early-life adversity reshapes growth and reproduction in rhesus macaques for decades
Many factors influence growth and reproductive patterns in animals and people alike. New research, led by postdoctoral researcher Rachel Petersen of the Lea Lab at Vanderbilt and Assistant Professor Sam Patterson of Notre ...
Medical Xpress / Novel molecular marker may improve prostate cancer treatment
Most prostate cancers rely on male sex hormones, known as androgens, to grow. As a result, standard treatment focuses on lowering androgen levels or blocking their activity, but many tumors eventually become resistant and ...
Tech Xplore / AI-assisted scans aim to catch ceramic defects earlier in production
At Sandia National Laboratories, a new inspection workflow is taking shape that could help catch tiny defects earlier in the manufacturing process for ceramic components.
Phys.org / Looped polymers unlock stronger, faster molecular binding through entropy, model suggests
Entropy gets a bad rap. Typically associated with randomness and chaos, it can also correlate with freedom and diversity. Cornell researchers have found that, thanks to the latter qualities, entropy can help bind certain ...
Phys.org / Mobile qubits on a chip move us a step closer to everyday quantum computers
For years, quantum computers have lived under a huge bubble of hype, promising to revolutionize numerous fields, from medicine and battery design to materials science and cybersecurity. But realizing their potential on any ...
Science X / Tiny fossil teeth offer new hints about the evolution of deep-sea fish
The deep ocean remains largely unexplored, despite containing a large portion of the living organisms and animals on Earth. Among the many creatures populating the deep-sea are so-called Cyclothone, also known as bristlemouth ...
Medical Xpress / Well-being of 11 million American children threatened in recent years by criminally charged family members
A cross-sectional study of more than 76 million American children by researchers has found that approximately 15%—or over 11 million—of the children had a family member who was criminally charged within the past five years, ...
Phys.org / Many of the Caribbean's most important reefs are going unprotected
Living by the sea in the tropics means being exposed to some of nature's most powerful forces. Hurricanes can bring storm surges, flooding and destructive waves that threaten homes, infrastructure and livelihoods.
Phys.org / What if we killed all mosquitoes?
The deadliest animals are not lions, spiders or snakes, but the tiny mosquitoes that suck our blood, make us itchy and infect us with disease.
Phys.org / Major survey of London tap water shows 'forever chemicals' within safe limits
A large study of London's tap water has revealed that trace amounts of PFAS "forever chemicals" are present, but their levels are within U.K. and EU safety limits. The analysis, led by researchers at Imperial College London ...
