Phys.org / Uncovering early embryonic communications using new stem cell model
From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly.
Phys.org / Researchers reveal how climate change is shaping decisions to move—or stay put
As climate change becomes a major driver of migration, EU researchers are listening to affected communities to help support fairer policies for those most at risk.
Phys.org / AI helps solve decades-old maze in frustrated magnet physics
By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the mathematical trickery that ...
Medical Xpress / Cases of whooping cough remain high, but knowledge about the disease still low
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a vaccination-preventable illness that has been on the rise in the United States. Following a several-year lull during the pandemic, cases of whooping cough rose sixfold in 2024 ...
Medical Xpress / Gen Zers are more likely to recognize the faces of their own age group than Boomers
GenZ's are better at recognizing people within their own age group than those outside it, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / Brain Care Score can predict risk of stroke across racial groups, study finds
A new study from Mass General Brigham found the Brain Care Score (BCS) is a strong predictor of stroke across different racial groups in the U.S. The findings, published in Neurology, suggest that improvements in the BCS ...
Phys.org / Firefighter gear contains potentially hazardous flame retardants, study shows
Some firefighter gear is manufactured with chemicals called brominated flame retardants that could pose a risk to firefighter health, according to a study published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
Phys.org / How natural disasters exacerbate inequity
An AI analysis of Google Street View images across 16 states shows that damaged buildings in poorer communities often remain vacant for years, while wealthier areas rebuild faster and better.
Medical Xpress / Protein therapy boosts immune attack on tumors by reversing sugar 'brakes'
Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new way to stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells, using a strategy that could make cancer immunotherapy work for many more patients.
Phys.org / Using bent light to map complex planetary architectures
With new technologies comes new discoveries. Or so Spider Man's Uncle Ben might have said if he was an astronomer. Or a scientist more generally—but in astronomy that saying is more true than many other disciplines, as ...
Phys.org / How bubbles may speed up CO₂ uptake by the ocean
A new study provides evidence that the ocean may have absorbed as much as 15% (0.3–0.4 Pg C yr-1) more CO2 than previously thought, requiring a re-think of future CO2 flux assessments and global climate models.
Phys.org / Engineered material uses light to destroy PFAS and other contaminants in water
Materials scientists at Rice University and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a range of pollutants in water, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the "forever chemicals" ...
