Medical Xpress / How autistic brains process faces differently
Researchers have conducted one of the most comprehensive studies on how the autistic brain processes faces. Some hallmark characteristics of autism include tendencies to avoid looking at others' faces and to make less eye ...
Phys.org / Arctic winter sea ice returns to significant decline, ending the temporary slowdown
New analysis shows that a "pause" in Arctic winter sea ice decline seen in the early 2020s has ended following record lows in 2025 and early 2026. The study, led by the University of Southampton in collaboration with the ...
Medical Xpress / Many cancer survivors have impairments that make using mobile devices and websites difficult
Megan (not her real name) had always taken pride in her ability to meet someone once and remember their name. Then came a breast cancer diagnosis in her 40s, chemotherapy and the brain fog that followed. She struggled to ...
Phys.org / Rare sighting reveals Arctic bobtail squid and egg masses in subzero Greenland fjord
Marine biologists have observed the Arctic bobtail squid in its natural habitat in the North Atlantic Ocean for the first time, including the rare discovery of a mature female with eggs. Dr Paige Maroni, from The University ...
Phys.org / What explains gender pay gaps in academia?
Gender pay gaps in academia are well documented. The harder question is why they persist. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences tested several leading answers to that question.
Medical Xpress / Last-line antibiotics at risk as children's resistance rises
Antimicrobial resistance in children is rising globally and will worsen over the next decade, threatening the effectiveness of life-saving antibiotics, according to the world's first monitoring platform. The study, led by ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How anaerobic digestion can help reduce emissions and increase income streams
An advanced technology that could benefit farmers' bottom line and help meet the rising demand for domestic energy production borrows a key ingredient from a centuries-old practice of burning dried manure to warm homes where ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanical engineers develop buttons that rise with light
No wires. No actuators. Shine light on the metal surface, and it rises like a button. KAIST researchers have developed a metal structure that changes shape using light, without any light-absorbing coating. This technology ...
Medical Xpress / COVID-19 vaccines remain effective despite helminth-induced immune modulation
More than a quarter of the world's population is affected by helminth infections, which can profoundly alter the immune system. In a preclinical study, researchers found that mRNA- and protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines effectively ...
Tech Xplore / New electronic skin brings self-healing sensors to underwater robots and divers
Underwater environments are among the harshest operating conditions for electronic devices. Divers and underwater robots depend on sensors to navigate, communicate and handle objects, but conventional sensors are fragile, ...
Phys.org / World's first gene edited Culicoides biting midges open door for livestock disease research
Scientists have successfully edited the genome of biting midges, opening the door to new research on how these insects transmit disease. Culicoides biting midges are small blood-feeding insects responsible for spreading important ...
Phys.org / How the most widespread parasite on Earth reads its genome
A parasite carried by billions of people worldwide often causes harmful infections during pregnancy and in immunocompromised individuals and is a leading infectious cause of blindness in South America. Once it enters the ...
