Medical Xpress / New study identifies how obesity-related liver cancer becomes more aggressive and resistant to treatment
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant discovery explaining why liver cancers associated with obesity and metabolic disorders tend to be more aggressive and less responsive to conventional treatments. ...
Phys.org / Climate action could prevent over 13 million premature deaths, but equity choices matter for global health
A new study published in The Lancet Global Health reveals a previously underappreciated tension at the heart of international climate negotiations: policies designed to protect developing countries from bearing an unfair ...
Phys.org / Planning Titan entry? New lab tests flag nitrogen-driven heat shield debris risks
Heat shields are designed to protect the surface and cargo of a spacecraft as it enters an atmosphere. Aerospace engineers in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign recently observed ...
Phys.org / Microbes in Antarctica survive the freezing and dark winter by living on air
Winter in Antarctica is long and dark. Temperatures remain well below freezing. In many places, the sun sets in April and does not rise above the horizon again until August. Without sunlight, photosynthetic life such as plants, ...
Phys.org / Rising seas threaten barrier islands, but seabird guano could speed recovery
Birds that live and breed in vegetated coastal areas, such as dunes and small islands, not only build nests but also—unintentionally—shape their own surroundings. This was discovered by Utrecht-based Earth scientist Floris ...
Medical Xpress / New data platform tracks the complex path to Alzheimer's and could transform how its risk is predicted
A powerful new real-world data platform could transform how scientists predict and understand Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), reports a new study at Columbia University Mailman School ...
Tech Xplore / AI gets a D: ChatGPT struggles with scientific true-or-false, study shows
Again and again, Washington State University professor Mesut Cicek and his colleagues fed hypotheses from scientific papers into ChatGPT and asked it to determine whether the statements had been upheld by research—whether ...
Medical Xpress / Medications for alcohol use disorder reduce hospitalizations and health care costs
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains a major public health challenge in the United States, contributing to more than 170,000 deaths each year and imposing an estimated $249 billion economic burden through health care costs, ...
Medical Xpress / What's 'dirty fuel' doing to our lungs? The same as it did for most of 2025
Australians may have seen headlines warning "dirty fuel" is back, temporarily, to ease fuel supplies. The phrase sounds alarming, but it has a specific and fairly narrow meaning.
Phys.org / Gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules to help detect certain diseases
An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in detecting certain diseases ...
Phys.org / Investors willing to pay a little more for green bonds
Green investors often boast that they can support sustainability without sacrificing returns. But new research from Texas McCombs suggests otherwise. It also offers governments opportunities to raise more money from those ...
Tech Xplore / Novel AI semiconductor uses hydrogen ions for learning and memory
A research team led by Lee Hyun Jun and Noh Hee Yeon from the Division of Nanotechnology at DGIST has succeeded in implementing the world's first two-terminal-based artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor that precisely ...
