Medical Xpress / Melanoma study identifies a mechanism for eliminating harmful cells from cancer treatment
After treating a tumor with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cells known as senescent cells can appear. These are cells that do not divide, are involved in the aging process, and are resistant to cell death, but are still metabolically ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital and private equity affiliations inflating primary care costs, study suggests
Brown University School of Public Health and Brookings Institution researchers have conducted a longitudinal and cross-sectional study investigating trends in hospital and private equity affiliation among primary care physicians ...
Medical Xpress / How the design of online slot machines affects gambling problems
The structural design features of virtual gambling machines are likely to promote specific learning processes in the human reward system that cause gamblers to form erroneous expectations and beliefs. That is the result of ...
Phys.org / From classical to quantum: Reimagining the Mpemba effect at the atomic scale
In a new Nature Communications study, scientists have demonstrated the quantum version of the strong Mpemba effect (sME) in a single trapped ion system.
Phys.org / Swarm detects ocean tides' magnetic signatures
A study using data from ESA's Swarm mission suggests that faint magnetic signatures created by Earth's tides can help us determine magma distribution under the seabed and could even give us insights into long-term trends ...
Tech Xplore / Analog computing platform based on one-memristor array efficiently processes real-time videos
As artificial intelligence models become increasingly advanced, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new hardware that is better suited for running these models, while also limiting power-consumption and boosting ...
Phys.org / Simulations clarify the mechanism of coupled plasma fluctuations
In nature, phenomena in which multiple fluctuations occur in a coupled manner are frequently observed. For example, in large earthquakes, cases of them occurring consecutively in adjacent regions have been reported. When ...
Phys.org / M87* observations catch the black hole's turbulent accretion flow
Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87*). This study marks a significant step ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells' location in the gut shapes their disease-fighting roles, study reveals
The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen Institute, La Jolla Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover pathway connecting synaptic activity to memory formation
A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.
Phys.org / Seismic study reveals ancient 'islands' deep within Earth's mantle
Deeply hidden in Earth's mantle there are two huge "islands" the size of a continent. New research from Utrecht University shows that these regions are not only hotter than the surrounding graveyard of cold sunken tectonic ...
Phys.org / Compact comb lights the way for next-gen photonics
In the world of modern optics, frequency combs are invaluable tools. These devices act as rulers for measuring light, enabling breakthroughs in telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and even astrophysics. But building ...
