Phys.org / Paleontological study shows climate change makes marine animals shrink
Whether mussels, crustaceans or fish, marine animals have been responding to environmental crises with a reduction in body size for hundreds of millions of years. A new study by Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg ...
Tech Xplore / A COF-graphene hybrid opens new horizons for lithium-sulfur batteries
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries combine the abundance and affordability of sulfur with an energy storage capability far beyond that of current lithium-ion technologies. Practical deployment, however, has been slowed by a ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool improves prediction of who will respond to cancer immunotherapy drugs
Cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can be miracle drugs for cancer patients, curing some and turning deadly disease into a manageable chronic condition in others. But these drugs work ...
Tech Xplore / Some agentic AI browsers may come with major cybersecurity risks
In the last year or so, artificial intelligence companies have rolled out a spate of web browsers equipped with AI agents. A user might ask one of these agents to plan a vacation, and it will open browser tabs to research ...
Phys.org / Rescue mission launches to save NASA telescope that's falling back to Earth
A three-armed spacecraft rocketed into orbit Friday to rescue a NASA telescope that's in danger of crashing back to Earth.
Medical Xpress / Are lung cancer tumors hijacking the nervous system?
According to the Cleveland Clinic, a quarter of cancer deaths can be attributed to one source: cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome that accompanies underlying chronic illness and causes unwanted muscle and fat loss, reducing ...
Phys.org / Visual map of 20,000 words reveals why lip-readers confuse common look-alikes
New research from the University of Kansas uses network science to determine why people make mistakes when lip-reading. Michael Vitevitch, professor of speech-language-hearing at KU, and his co-authors created a visual map ...
Medical Xpress / Molecules link lower weight babies and chronic diseases
Researchers have long sought to discover why babies who weigh less than expected at birth, a condition known as small for gestational age, or SGA, are at higher risk for heart, lung and metabolic diseases as adults.
Medical Xpress / Zebrafish brains reveal alternate route for senses to the forebrain shared with mammals
Line up the brains of a fish, bird and a mammal, and something unexpected comes up. You do not see three different answers to the problem of making sense of the world. You see one answer, tilted three different ways. "You ...
Medical Xpress / Promising experimental drug could shield nerve cells from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis damage
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) received widespread attention in the summer of 2014 thanks to the Ice Bucket Challenge. Millions of people participated, drenching themselves in ice-cold water to raise awareness of this ...
Phys.org / Small-molecule switches put therapeutic CRISPR editing under on-demand control in living tissues
In a study published in Science Translational Medicine, a team of researchers led by Dr. Wang Yu from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed PRINCE and Little Prince, dual ...
Phys.org / Airborne AI spots underwater munitions in shallow seas with high precision
A new airborne imaging approach can reliably detect unexploded weapons that lie in shallow coastal waters and remain an ongoing hazard to public safety, marine ecosystems and infrastructure worldwide. By combining advanced ...
