Phys.org / New study shows how DNA is recognized by proteins that control gene expression
With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.
Medical Xpress / Metabolites produced in intestine play central role in controlling obesity and diabetes, study shows
A study conducted at Harvard University identified a group of metabolites that travel from the intestine to the liver and then to the heart, where they are pumped throughout the body. These metabolites play an important role ...
Tech Xplore / The world's most efficient solar cell: Chinese researchers explain how they designed and built it
Earlier in 2025, Chinese solar manufacturer Longi announced it had built the world's most efficient solar cell. The hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) cell achieved 27.81% efficiency, which was verified by Germany's ...
Phys.org / Shark strongholds: Remote Pacific islands host thriving populations as coastal marine reserves falter
One of the most comprehensive surveys to date of shark and other large predator fish in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) ocean finds that remote marine protected areas (MPAs)—including the Galapagos, Malpelo, Clipperton, ...
Medical Xpress / 10-minute scan could help millions with hard-to-treat high blood pressure
A speedy new scan could improve how millions of people with high blood pressure are treated, suggests a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
Phys.org / Electric discharges detected on Mars for the first time
On Mars, winds constantly stir up whirlwinds of fine dust. It was at the center of two of these dust devils that the SuperCam instrument's microphone, the first ever to operate on Mars, accidentally recorded particularly ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain decides what to remember: Study reveals sequentially operating molecular 'timers'
Every day, our brains transform quick impressions, flashes of inspiration, and painful moments into enduring memories that underpin our sense of self and inform how we navigate the world. But how does the brain decide which ...
Phys.org / Brain's GPS hasn't changed in millions of years: Specialized neurons may be vital to evolutionary survival
The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across millions of years of evolution.
Phys.org / Non-toxic solvent enables near-perfect recycling of mixed-fiber textiles
We are producing more textiles than ever before: worldwide, well over one hundred million tons of textiles are manufactured every year—more than twice as much as in the year 2000. This makes it increasingly important not ...
Phys.org / First-of-its-kind 3D model lets you explore Easter Island statues up close
Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the quarries where its iconic ...
