Medical Xpress / Turning tumor's shield into a sword: Scientists target macrophages to overcome immunotherapy resistance
Immunotherapy, which harnesses our body's own immune system to fight cancer, has revolutionized modern oncology. Yet despite its success with several cancers, many patients still fail to respond to therapy or experience relapse ...
Phys.org / White rhino born at Spain zoo in conservation success
A southern white rhino calf has been born at a zoo in eastern Spain, in a success for a European program aimed at preserving the threatened species.
Phys.org / Few women named as authors on retracted medical studies, analysis shows
Women are underrepresented among authors of retracted publications, particularly in cases involving multiple retractions, according to a new study published in PLOS One by Paul Sebo of the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
Tech Xplore / New augmented reality tech can turn any surface into keyboard
Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as "gorilla arm."
Phys.org / Lost signal: How solar activity silenced Earth's radiation
Researchers from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed seven years of data from the ERG (Arase) satellite and, for the first time, provided a detailed description of a ...
Phys.org / Rocks on faults can heal following seismic movement, scientists discover
Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in Science Advances, adds ...
Phys.org / New nanogel technology destroys drug-resistant bacteria in hours
As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, a Swansea University academic has led the development of a novel technology capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine—with over 99.9% effectiveness ...
Medical Xpress / Studies suggest ambient AI saves time, reduces burnout and fosters patient connection
When physicians don't have to type detailed clinical notes while simultaneously talking to their patients, the visit feels different. Eye contact lasts longer, follow-up questions become sharper, and—crucially—clinicians ...
Phys.org / Microplastics detected in 100% of donkey feces: Study links plastic pollution to animal deaths and food risks
A study by the University of Portsmouth has revealed for the first time the extent of the devastating impact of plastic pollution on livestock, humans and the wider environment on the Kenyan island of Lamu.
Medical Xpress / Is stomach cancer on the rise in young adults?
Stomach cancer, also referred to as gastric cancer, was once thought of as a disease of older adults. However, it is increasingly affecting people under the age of 50, mirroring a similar shift that is observed with colorectal ...
Phys.org / When superfluids collide, physicists find a mix of old and new behavior
Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of a galaxy.
Phys.org / A new way to look 'inside' water's microscopic structure
Water is essential for all chemistry and life, yet understanding how it interacts with dissolved ions—such as sodium and magnesium—has long been a major scientific challenge.
