Phys.org / Compact CRISPR system unlocks targeted in-body gene editing, with up to 90% efficiency
A research team has discovered an enhanced CRISPR gene-editing system that could enable targeted delivery inside the human body—a key step toward broader clinical use. Researchers identified a naturally occurring enzyme, ...
Medical Xpress / Australia's 60-day prescriptions are saving millions; why aren't more patients getting them?
A landmark government policy designed to slash the cost of medicines for millions of Australians is falling well short of its potential because GPs and pharmacists have been slow to adopt it, new research has found. The study, ...
Phys.org / Dual-frequency Paul trap shows potential for synthesizing antihydrogen outside of CERN
A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold both types of particles at the same time. Researchers in the group of Professor Dmitry Budker from ...
Phys.org / Low-cost robotic chemistry system can be built and deployed in any lab
In a paper just out in Nature Synthesis, researchers led by Prof. Timothy Noël of the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences presented a breakthrough in autonomous laboratory systems for synthesis ...
Medical Xpress / Over 80% of women face menopause symptoms—so why are workplaces still ignoring it?
Menopause has long been treated as something private, but the silence surrounding it is increasingly at odds with demographic reality. Women over 50 are the fastest-growing group in the workforce in many countries, and most ...
Tech Xplore / AI's big productivity boost? It's happening from the sofa
A new study by SIEPR's Michael Blank is among the first to examine an overlooked effect of generative AI: it's significantly boosting how much people get done at home. Barely a day goes by when there isn't a story about generative ...
Phys.org / Scottish Neolithic tombs were used to trace kinship—including descent, DNA analysis reveals
Archaeologists have investigated genetic relationships between individuals buried in Neolithic chambered tombs in northern Scotland, suggesting monumental tombs may have been physical embodiments of prehistoric kinship, tracing ...
Phys.org / What if dark matter came in two states?
The absence of a signal could itself be a signal. This is the idea behind a new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, which aims to redefine how we search for dark matter, showing that it ...
Medical Xpress / After the ICU, some older adults less likely to receive home-based rehabilitation
Home is often where recovery begins after being hospitalized for a serious illness. But for some people, it may also be where gaps in care arise. In a recent study, Yale School of Medicine's Snigdha Jain, MD, MHS, and colleagues ...
Phys.org / EPA may ease regulation of chemical plastic recycling, and environmentalists worry
The Environmental Protection Agency is reconsidering whether facilities that recycle plastic chemically should be held to the same strict air pollution standards as incinerators.
Tech Xplore / OpenAI announces restricted-access cybersecurity model
Artificial intelligence company OpenAI said Tuesday that it would release its latest cybersecurity model to a limited number of partners, after rival Anthropic also restricted release of a new system that uncovered thousands ...
Medical Xpress / As RSV evolves, a two‑pronged antibody cocktail aims to stay ahead
Scientists in China have developed a two-antibody cocktail to treat respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, that in laboratory studies prevented the virus from developing drug resistance—a persistent problem with current therapies ...
