Phys.org / Bacteria have a secret engineering trick to keep themselves in shape
Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width. That is exactly what rod-shaped ...
Phys.org / Miniature laser technology could bring lab testing into your home
A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, cost-effective biosensors. The sensors integrate lasers and optics together on a centimeter-sized chip, ...
Phys.org / Ancient stone jars shows how tree cover shapes freshwater ecosystems over millennia
Researchers at McGill University used 2,000-year-old stone jars in Laos to observe long-term ecological processes, enhancing understanding of how strongly tree cover shapes small freshwater ecosystems. Their findings stand ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD gender gap tied to delayed diagnosis and poor outcomes
Females diagnosed with ADHD later in life are more likely to experience adolescent mental health struggles, teenage pregnancy, secondary school absences, and have more hospital appointments than those diagnosed in early childhood, ...

Medical Xpress / Simple test could transform time to endometriosis diagnosis
A simple five-minute test addressing major endometriosis diagnostic delays and treatment, has been developed by University of Queensland researchers. The Simplified Adolescent Factors for Endometriosis (SAFE) score uses a ...
Phys.org / Ancient parrot DNA reveals sophisticated, long-distance animal trade network pre-dating the Inca Empire
New analysis of ancient parrot DNA has revealed that vibrant Amazonian parrots were transported alive across the Andes to coastal Peru centuries before the Inca Empire, highlighting a sophisticated pre-Inca, long-distance ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted treatments plus engineered immune cells may slow early spread of triple‑negative breast cancer, study reveals
A new study has revealed a promising new approach to curb the spread of triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat forms of the disease. Published recently in Cancer Letters, Gabriel ...
Phys.org / Why averages fail for bacteria in the open ocean
How can bacteria that forage on organic particles survive in vast ocean regions where such particles are extremely sparse? A new study by researchers from ETH Zurich and Queen Mary University of London shows that variability ...
Phys.org / How jagged moon dust could support future astronauts
Lunar dust can be a pain—but it's also literally the ground we will have to traverse if we are ever to have a permanent human settlement on the moon. In that specific use case, its clingy, jagged, staticky properties can ...
Medical Xpress / How AI is integrated into clinical workflow lowers medical liability perception
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the field and practice of medicine, including legal liability and the perception of who is at fault when a patient experiences harm. "AI holds promise to improve the quality and safety ...
Medical Xpress / Interviews with 14 recovered adults map common steps out of long-term fatigue
For people who have recovered from diagnoses characterized by persistent fatigue, a new understanding of symptoms seems to have been key to recovery. This is the conclusion of a study from Linköping University, Sweden. The ...
