Researchers have discovered a new method to boost the body's natural ability to fight respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the leading causes of severe lung infections worldwide.
Phys.org / Human cells can exchange genomic DNA that alters cell behavior
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and change how the recipient ...
Medical Xpress / Lipedema: The painful condition too often dismissed as obesity
For many women with lipedema, the diagnosis comes after years of being told the same thing: eat less, not more. The problem is that the fat accumulating around their hips and legs isn't responding to diet or exercise, because ...
Medical Xpress / A new imaging approach captures brain activity across nine cell types at once
Scientists at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), in collaboration with ZEISS and MetaCell, have developed a powerful new imaging pipeline called Neuroplex. As described in a paper published in eLife, ...
Tech Xplore / We reviewed 48 'low carbon' projects and found they were becoming part of the fossil fuel problem
The world's major oil and gas companies claim they are leading the energy transition. They spend billions on PR to brand themselves as part of the solution. The data we've reviewed tells a different story.
Tech Xplore / Full fossil fuel phase-out by 2050 would require up to 80% more electricity generation
New research by an international team of scientists finds that fully phasing out fossil fuels worldwide by 2050 would require global electricity generation to expand by roughly 60 to 80% beyond the levels projected in conventional ...

Tech Xplore / Open-source framework lets drones dodge obstacles in milliseconds while minimizing travel time
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly through a collapsed building to map the scene, giving rescuers information they need to quickly reach survivors. But this remains an ...
Phys.org / New chip offers way to make use of quantum system 'imperfections'
Quantum technologies promise powerful new kinds of computers, giving scientists new tools to mimic and explore nature at its tiniest scales. At those levels, everything in nature—from atoms and electrons to light itself—follows ...
Phys.org / Historic co-determination helps monasteries navigate digital change across three countries
Why do some organizations survive across the centuries while others founder when faced with technological disruption? A new study by the University of Zurich shows that historically developed monastic forms of co-determination ...
