Phys.org / Digital tools reveal hidden extinctions as AI reshapes global conservation
In a seismic shift since Kew's inaugural State of the World report 10 years ago, the sixth State of the World's Plants and Fungi report, published June 16, 2026, brings together expertise from more than 400 scientists across ...
Phys.org / A heat sensor for living cells could offer new views of cell metabolism, rapid antibiotic testing
When living cells grow, divide or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer information about what the cells are doing. But because these heat signals are so vanishingly small, they have traditionally ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping immune cell interactions in gut tissue reveals changes in ulcerative colitis
In a new study published in Science Immunology, researchers at King's College London looked at a type of tissue important for the immune response called gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which is located within the lining ...
Phys.org / How plants rush energy to injured tissues to help them heal
A new study finds that plants respond to injury by actively redirecting sugars to damaged tissues, helping fuel the regeneration process. Using a fluorescent sensor to track sugar movement in living plants, researchers have ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny chip could help cameras spot hidden details
A tiny new chip could give cameras and sensing systems a far sharper view of the world, helping them detect subtle differences in materials and environments that standard color imaging systems cannot see.
Medical Xpress / New National Digital Health Index identifies communities most at risk of being left behind in the digital health era
As telehealth, remote monitoring and artificial intelligence-powered health tools become increasingly integrated into health care delivery, a new study published in JAMA Network Open introduces the first comprehensive national ...
Phys.org / 42-year study tracks how 'forever chemicals' move through the Great Lakes
University of Notre Dame researchers analyzed 42 years of biological records from the Great Lakes, unveiling how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or "forever chemicals," have moved across the region, contaminating ...
Phys.org / Manakins' dazzling dances may owe their origins to an ancient diet shift
Few animals put on a show quite like manakins. In the rainforests of Central and South America, males of these small tropical birds, with strikingly bright plumage, often gather at communal display sites (leks), where they ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental tau tracer detects Alzheimer's-linked changes earlier than standard PET scans
Alzheimer's disease is commonly known for its symptoms—memory loss, cognitive impairment, difficulty with daily tasks—but it can only be definitively diagnosed by looking at the brain. A scan must show the abnormal buildup ...
Tech Xplore / AI model extracts hidden semiconductor properties from simple transistor tests in under 1 millisecond
A tandem neural network capable of inferring key physical parameters of semiconductor materials from simple transistor measurements has been developed, as reported by researchers from the Institute of Science, Tokyo. While ...
Medical Xpress / 'Zombie' cells play an unexpected role in the developing brain
Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized cells that allow essential ...
Medical Xpress / New pancreatic cancer strategy kills KRAS-mutant tumor cells and extends survival in mice
Researchers at the University of Cologne's Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that makes most pancreatic cancer cells susceptible to a form of programmed cell death. ...
