Phys.org / Molecular mechanisms behind speciation in corals identified
Matías Gómez-Corrales, a recent biological sciences Ph.D. graduate from the University of Rhode Island, and his advisor, Associate Professor Carlos Prada, have published a paper in Nature Communications, revealing key mechanisms ...
Medical Xpress / Email reminders boost use of database for safe prescribing
A new randomized clinical trial finds that simple reminder emails substantially increase clinicians' use of a database that supports safe prescribing of opioids and other drugs, even though opioid prescribing patterns themselves ...
Phys.org / Artificial metabolism turns waste CO₂ into useful chemicals
In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism that transforms waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful biological building ...
Medical Xpress / Midlife weight gain can start long before menopause—but you can take steps early on
You're in your mid-40s, eating healthy and exercising regularly. It's the same routine that has worked for years.
Phys.org / PFAS concentrations can double with every step up the food chain
A new UNSW-led global meta-analysis shows that PFAS concentrations can double at every step up the food chain, leaving top predators—and humans—potentially exposed to higher chemical loads.
Phys.org / Astronomers find planetary and stellar companions to two ultracool dwarfs in Taurus
Astronomers from the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Manoa and elsewhere have observed the Taurus star-forming region, which resulted in the discovery of planetary-mass and stellar companions of two ultracool dwarf stars. The ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring healthy protein form revives blood vessel growth in premature infant lungs
A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' lungs can regenerate after injury. A failure of this repair process is a hallmark of bronchopulmonary ...
Phys.org / We analyzed 73,000 articles and found the UK media is divorcing 'climate change' from net zero
In October 2024, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch declared herself a "net zero skeptic," but "not a climate skeptic." Most recently she doubled down, announcing plans to scrap the 2030 ban on new petrol cars in a 900-word ...
Medical Xpress / Guns marketed for personal safety fuel public health crisis in Black communities
Leon Harris, 35, is intimately familiar with the devastation guns can inflict. Robbers shot him in the back nearly two decades ago, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. The bullet remains lodged in his spine.
Medical Xpress / Immune cell 'fuel' shortages shape atherosclerosis, scientists reveal
Two complementary studies reveal how an insufficient supply of energy in macrophages, key immune cells in artery walls, drives the progression of atherosclerosis—and how this knowledge could lead to better diagnostics and ...
Phys.org / New 'cloaking device' concept shields electronics from disruptive magnetic fields
University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, making them invisible to detection.
Tech Xplore / One pull of a string is all it takes to deploy these complex structures
MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string.
