Medical Xpress / Increased levels of Alzheimer's-linked protein found in some with long COVID
A study of 227 individuals who experienced neurocognitive difficulties post COVID-19 infection—such as headaches, vertigo, balance dysregulation, changes in taste/smell, and brain fog—displayed a significant increase ...
Tech Xplore / 'Rosetta stone' for database inputs reveals serious security issue
The data inputs that enable modern search and recommendation systems were thought to be secure, but an algorithm developed by Cornell Tech researchers successfully teased out names, medical diagnoses and financial information ...
Phys.org / Myth of Native Hawaiians causing bird extinctions debunked by study
Challenging a 50-year-old narrative about Hawaiʻi's native birds, a new study from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa found no scientific evidence that Indigenous People hunted waterbird species to extinction. Published ...
Phys.org / A tiny mouse hints at why some mammal mothers may benefit from choosing more than one father
Many animals do something that still surprises researchers: females often mate with more than one male. This behavior—polyandry—has long raised a blunt question. Why divide offspring among multiple fathers, and does it ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking key enzyme to protect against fatty liver may raise cancer risk instead
Scientists have discovered that blocking a key cellular enzyme thought to protect against fatty liver disease may instead increase the risk of chronic liver damage and cancer as we age.
Phys.org / Phages and bacteria accumulate distinctive mutations aboard the International Space Station
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless "microgravity" conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the dynamics of virus-bacteria ...
Medical Xpress / Brain neurons process salience, valence and value separately to understand what is important—and what isn't
The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a chance to refuel. In everyday life, we learn to link cues we sense with what they mean, helping us ...
Phys.org / Small businesses say they aren't planning to hire many recent graduates for entry-level jobs—here's why
Small businesses are planning to hire fewer recent college graduates than they did in 2025, making it likely harder for this cohort to find entry-level jobs.
Phys.org / A dry surface thanks to fluid physics: Contact-free method gently remove liquids from delicate microstructures
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to generate surface currents ...
Phys.org / Melting glaciers may mix up waters more than we thought
As marine-terminating glaciers melt, the resulting freshwater is released at the seafloor, which mixes with salty seawater and influences circulation patterns. As the oceans warm, it's growing increasingly important to study ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Can a routine shingles shot lower risk of dementia?
Research has found the shingles vaccine not only prevents the painful, blistering rash in older people, but also protects the brain.
Medical Xpress / New combination therapy developed for frequent form of lung cancer
A research team at the Medical University of Vienna has discovered a new approach to treating a particularly frequent and difficult-to-treat form of lung cancer. The study shows that a combination of two well-studied classes ...
