Phys.org / Mathematical framework solves asteroid route planning exactly for first time
A new publication from Bielefeld University sets a benchmark in optimization research. Together with an international team, Professor Michael Römer from the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has developed a ...
Phys.org / Burned stone, child's bones, and lost jewelry hint at prehistoric mining camp high in the Pyrenees
In the past, scientists thought that prehistoric peoples only traveled briefly through high-altitude mountain areas, rather than staying to take advantage of their resources. But new evidence suggests that, starting about ...
Phys.org / Decades of deep sea mining research show threat to seafloor creatures
There's increasing interest in deep-sea mining, but the impacts that this will have on the animals that live in the depths isn't fully understood. A new review led by our scientists is giving us our first insight into how ...
Tech Xplore / Fiber-optic sensor reads strain through electrical signals, skipping optical analyzers
Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The approach uses a polymer ...
Medical Xpress / How HIV hijacks a cellular 'gateway' to infect resting immune cells
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 can infect resting immune cells. The discovery challenges a decades-old assumption in HIV biology, and opens new ...
Phys.org / Federal grant terminations disproportionately impact minority scientists, study finds
Researchers from University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science have found that recent federal grant terminations targeting research on health equity and gender identity ...
Phys.org / Super transformer aims to bring order to biology's data under one AI model
Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all that information together ...
Medical Xpress / IL-10 gene therapy boosts immune attack against liver cancer in mice
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a liver-directed IL-10 gene therapy that strengthens cancer-fighting immune cells and suppresses liver tumors in mice. The treatment also generated long-lasting immune ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden reservoir may drive brain cancer relapse in 65% of patients
All types of brain cancers collectively have a five-year survival rate of just 33%, according to the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. For a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma, ...
Tech Xplore / Stress-testing method for cloud computing algorithms helps avoid network failures
Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have developed a more user-friendly and efficient method to help networking engineers identify potential system failures before they cause major problems, like a cloud service outage that ...
Medical Xpress / Health authorities work to contain cruise ship hantavirus outbreak
The MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship with a deadly outbreak of hantavirus, was on its way to the Canary Islands on May 7, 2026, after evacuating three ill passengers for treatment.
Medical Xpress / Can AI forecast immune responses? New benchmark shows where predictions hold up and fail
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments. But for AI tools to work effectively, researchers need to know whether they can be validated and ...
