Phys.org / No more guesswork in drug design—atomic-resolution method exposes what trial and error keep missing
Drug discovery still too often relies on expensive trial and error. Researchers from ICTER show there is another way—building molecules step by step and observing their behavior at atomic resolution. This approach could significantly ...
Tech Xplore / A Canvas outage tied to a cyberattack has wreaked havoc on colleges' final exam season
Schools and universities across the country are recovering from an outage that knocked down Canvas, an online platform that manages exams, course notes, lecture videos and grades. The disruption tied to a cyberattack hit ...
Medical Xpress / Added sugar labels would prompt teens to dump sugary drinks, research shows
New research led by the Health Policy Center at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) has shown that placing sugar warning labels on sugary drinks would significantly change adolescents' behavior—leading ...
Science X / Even iconic fliers get it wrong: Most birds have not evolved optimal wing-shapes
Even the giant wings of the albatross are not "optimally" shaped for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, according to new University of Bristol research. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that ...
Phys.org / Synchrotron X-rays uncover hidden protein binding sites, enabling two new functions
Using bright X-rays from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), researchers pioneered an innovative approach to designing proteins with targeted ...
Phys.org / New AI solution developed for smarter urban and climate planning
Satellite images, weather maps and other data are collected in enormous quantities—but much of this remains unused. The reason is simple: the data is fragmented, difficult to interpret, and stored in different formats. Dr. ...
Phys.org / This 'living plastic' activates and self-destructs on command
Many plastic products are designed to be used only once, yet the material itself lasts for years. But a new strategy is addressing this problem by creating products that self-destruct on command, known as living plastics. ...
Tech Xplore / Renewable energy is more cost effective than direct air capture at reducing carbon, study finds
The case for investing in direct air capture weakens substantially once it is directly compared against solar and wind, according to an analysis published in Communications Sustainability. The paper is titled "Direct air ...
Medical Xpress / A brain mechanism may help slow Parkinson's disease—but only in females
Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by strengthening the brain's own dopamine-producing neurons, but the positive effect was only observed in females.
Tech Xplore / Sugarcane waste concrete cuts CO₂ by up to 30% while boosting strength
According to the United Nations, the global population is set to reach around 10.3 billion by the mid-2080s, driving rapid urbanization and an unprecedented demand for infrastructure. But do you know that this growth comes ...
Medical Xpress / For preschoolers, fear of new foods is common—and responding can feel anything but simple
Feeding children can be challenging. It is sometimes hard to know if you're getting it right. We want the best for our children, and we often think that means making sure they eat the right amounts of the right foods. Research ...
Medical Xpress / AI pathology framework can enable a deeper understanding of cancer
The digital transformation of pathology is opening up new possibilities for cancer diagnosis. Today's artificial intelligence (AI) techniques now go far beyond mere automation: they make it possible to extract previously ...
