Phys.org / Moths are flying later in the year than a century ago, study finds
South of Fall Creek by the edge of the woods, the moths would gather. They were, of course, drawn by light—set out by a researcher working in Cornell University's old Insectory building. In 1889, the lure came from a kerosene ...
Phys.org / Mathematical foundations for noise-tolerant quantum catalysts in real-world environments
Quantum catalysts are specialized resources that enable quantum state transformations previously thought impossible, holding promise for advancements in quantum computing and thermodynamics. A recent international study has ...
Tech Xplore / Autonomous navigation of microrobots in complex flows demonstrated for the first time
For the first time, researchers at Leipzig University have shown that tiny synthetic microswimmers can perceive their surroundings directly through their own body shape and autonomously adapt to rapidly changing fluid flows. ...
Phys.org / Superconductor advancement could unlock ultra-energy-efficient electronics
Superconducting materials could play a crucial role in the energy-efficient applications of the future. However, several technical challenges still stand in the way of their practical use. Now, researchers at Chalmers University ...
Phys.org / Researchers explore new ways to neutralize germs using light-activated nanomaterials
At Empa, an interdisciplinary research institute for materials science and technology within the ETH Domain, researchers are working on ways to kill harmful bacteria and viruses. In the Nanomaterials in Health Lab, headed ...
Medical Xpress / Promising new therapy developed for most common form of bone cancer in children and young adults
Finding an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults, has puzzled medical researchers for 40 years. Now, a new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University ...
Medical Xpress / Metformin use linked to lower odds of new-onset neovascular age-related macular degeneration
Metformin use is associated with reduced odds of new-onset International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), according to a study published online Jan. 30 in Ophthalmology ...
Phys.org / Changing flight paths could slash aviation's climate impact
Small changes to aircraft flight paths to avoid the atmospheric conditions that create condensation trails—known as contrails—could reduce aviation's global warming impact by nearly half, a new study suggests. The study, ...
Medical Xpress / 'Junk DNA' may help defend against colorectal cancer
For decades, large portions of the human genome were labeled "junk DNA." New research from Western University and London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) suggests these overlooked sequences may help protect ...
Medical Xpress / New hypertension guideline does not recommend routine treatment for all adults over 65
An analysis of the 2025 AHA/ACC hypertension guidelines found that under the new guidelines, about 11% of adults ages 65 to 79 with stage I hypertension would no longer qualify for blood pressure medication, a major shift ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast laser pulses bring diamond-based quantum internet closer to reality
The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as quantum networks and quantum computing. A research team has now demonstrated the successful application ...
Medical Xpress / Research uncovers the dual role of ezrin, a protein driving bone cancer in children
Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a well-known cancer-related protein called ezrin. This finding could potentially open the door to new treatments ...
