Phys.org / Researchers uncover a one-hour 'crown' checkpoint that enables malaria reproduction
A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies on a brief but essential ...
Phys.org / Genetic analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals a unique lineage in the Balkans
A new genetic study has revealed that the people of Deep Mani, who inhabit one of the remotest regions of mainland Greece, represent one of the most genetically distinctive populations in Europe, shaped by more than a millennium ...
Tech Xplore / Extending optical fiber's ultralow loss performance to photonic chips
Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical fiber at visible wavelengths. This accomplishment paves the way for a new generation of ultra-coherent ...
Phys.org / Temperature of some cities could rise faster than expected under 2°C warming
New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) shows how many tropical cities are predicted to warm faster than expected under 2°C of global warming.
Medical Xpress / 1 in 4 young people using psychotropic drugs are taking dangerous combinations
Use of medications for mental health and behavioral conditions among children and young adults increased steadily for two decades, and about one in four young people taking these medicines were prescribed a combination that ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows that key protein can slow aging
The United States is a rapidly aging country. By the year 2050, nearly 1 in 4 Americans will be 65 or older, and many will live into their 90s and beyond. This leads to health care and social support concerns and also begs ...
Phys.org / Orange, camphor-smelling solid could be a key to the next generation grid-storage batteries
An orange solid with a camphor-like odor has helped aqueous zinc-iodide batteries move a large step closer to supplying safe and economic grid and household energy storage.
Phys.org / Engineered antibody targets bacteria-specific sugar, clears lethal drug-resistant infection in mice
Australian researchers have developed a powerful new way to target deadly, drug-resistant bacteria by designing antibodies that recognize a sugar found only on bacterial cells—an advance that could underpin a new generation ...
Medical Xpress / Quantifying the role of reducing obesity in preventing common conditions
Researchers have quantified the role of obesity in common long-term conditions, showing for the first time the effect of losing weight in preventing multiple diseases.
Phys.org / TESS observations reveal sustained quasi-periodic oscillations in multiple blazars
Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are a rare phenomenon in active galactic nuclei. They have been observed to occur at periods ranging from minutes to hours, days, weeks, and even years across the electromagnetic spectrum. ...
Tech Xplore / From trash to takeoff: Pilot plant produces 100 kg of sustainable aviation fuel per day from landfill gas
The aviation industry accounts for a significant share of global carbon emissions. In response, the international community is expanding mandatory use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which is produced from organic waste ...
Medical Xpress / A double-edged sword: Chronic cellular stress promotes liver cancer—but also makes tumors vulnerable to immunotherapy
A key molecular mechanism drives the growth of liver cell cancer while simultaneously suppressing the body's immune response to the tumor. This has been published in the journal Nature by a team led by researchers from the ...
