Phys.org / Orbital dances unlock true masses of Orion's young stars
A star's mass determines its entire life story, from how it shines to how it dies. For young stars shrouded in dust, getting an accurate mass has long been difficult, but new radio measurements are beginning to change that. ...
Medical Xpress / Exploiting a new vulnerability that targets 'zombie' cells as an anticancer therapy
A new set of drugs exploit a recently revealed weakness in "zombie-like"—or senescent—cells that could lead to new treatments for cancer and age-associated diseases. The study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic study reveals likely cause of common heart valve defect
New clues from genetic research may help explain what causes the most common heart defect present at birth. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet have identified rare DNA changes during ...
Science X / As extreme heat tightens its grip, farms and food security face a punishing new reality
The frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heat events have risen sharply over the past half century, and the risks to agrifood systems and ecosystems are set to soar in the future, according to "Extreme heat and agriculture," ...
Medical Xpress / Sweet discovery rewrites understanding of how our bodies store sugar
WEHI researchers have discovered a never-before-seen mechanism our bodies use to regulate sugar, in findings that rewrite the fundamental rules of biology and open a new frontier in science. Published in Nature, the study ...
Medical Xpress / A blueprint for holistic cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead management and lifelong patient safety
New evidence on cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) lead management and the burgeoning development of new CIED technologies have contributed to the field's rapid evolution in the last decade. The new "2026 ...
Phys.org / One-way phonon synchronization could survive noise and defects, theoretical physicists suggest
A novel approach for realizing the one-way quantum synchronization of phonons has been proposed by three theoretical physicists at RIKEN. Importantly, this method is remarkably resilient against practical challenges such ...
Medical Xpress / Less than half of pregnant women with opioid use disorder receive meds
Less than half of pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive medications for OUD (MOUD) during pregnancy, according to a study published online April 22 in Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Medical Xpress / Animal-linked influenza D multiplies efficiently in human respiratory tissue, hinting at spillover
The influenza D virus that researchers say has been flying under the radar since its detection in animals in 2011 can vigorously make copies of itself in human cells and lung tissue samples, a new study shows. The findings ...
Phys.org / First gap-free peanut genomes reveal genes behind bigger seeds and better oils
An international team of researchers has produced complete, gap-free genome sequences for six peanut varieties, providing a comprehensive blueprint for future peanut breeding and improvement strategies.
Phys.org / Beavers leave a trail as they head into the Arctic and reshape the landscape
A study has provided new evidence of beavers' expansion into the Canadian Arctic by dating the changes they have made to the tundra landscape as they spread northward. Published in the journal Ecosphere, the research combines ...
Tech Xplore / Bubble trouble: Hydrogen research highlights outsized impacts of tiny bubbles in water electrolysis
Hydrogen is often described as the fuel of the future—a clean, energy-dense way to store renewable power and decarbonize industries from steelmaking to shipping. But inside the devices that produce it, a surprisingly small ...
