Medical Xpress / Childhood exposure to air pollution linked to poorer cognitive performance in later life
People across the globe, especially in low-income countries, continue to use solid fuels like coal, wood and plant waste for cooking and heating. The resulting indoor air pollution exposes children to smoke and particles ...
Phys.org / FAST J0139+4328 is a low-surface-brightness galaxy, deep imaging reveals
Astronomers from Serbia and Russia have conducted deep optical observations of a cloud of neutral atomic hydrogen, designated FAST J0139+4328. Results of the observational campaign, published December 31 on the arXiv preprint ...
Phys.org / The G20 was built to stabilize the world's economy—but it's failed on climate, debt and inequality
The Group of Twenty (G20) emerged from the financial turmoil that followed the collapse of the Thai currency in 1997, which rapidly spread financial instability from Thailand to the rest of Asia.
Phys.org / System can diagnose infections in 20 minutes, aiding fight against drug resistance
A new technique which slashes the time taken to diagnose microbial infections from days to minutes could help save lives and open up a new front in the battle against antibiotic resistance, researchers say.
Medical Xpress / New 'humane intelligence' framework guides safer, more patient-centered AI in older-adult mental health care
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to identify older adults for services, support people between visits, and guide referrals and care pathways. Yet much AI governance still emphasizes algorithms and infrastructure ...
Phys.org / Rare 'firework morphology' of supernova remnant Pa 30 may be due to white dwarf wind
In 1181 AD, a bright "guest star" was observed to linger in the sky for around six months. Nearly 850 years later, the likely remnants of this event were rediscovered and tentatively linked to the 1181 supernova and dubbed ...
Phys.org / Modern rock wallabies seem to survive by sticking together in small areas: Fossils show they need to travel
Today, rock wallabies are seen as secretive cliff-dwellers that rarely stray far from the safety of their rocky shelters. But the fossil record tells a very different story.
Medical Xpress / How to prevent and fight norovirus
Nearly half a million Americans visit the emergency room (ER) each year with a fast-spreading stomach bug called norovirus.
Phys.org / Making the invisible visible: Space particles become observable through handheld invention
You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.
Medical Xpress / How aggressive breast cancer controls protein production
A previously unknown mechanism that makes it possible for aggressive so-called triple-negative breast cancer to fine-tune its production of proteins has been discovered by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden. The discovery ...
Phys.org / Image: Artist's concept of a white dwarf star
A smaller white dwarf star (left) pulls material from a larger star into a swirling accretion disk in this artist's concept released Nov. 19, 2025, to illustrate the first use of NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarization Explorer) ...
Medical Xpress / Overcoming obstacles to HIV prevention
Though an antiretroviral medication called PrEP provides near-perfect protection against HIV, patients must often surmount hurdles to obtain it.
