Phys.org / Piecing the puzzle of how proteins fit together: Simpler model outperforms leading methods
How the proteins in our bodies bind together to form protein complexes plays a critical role in numerous cell functions—staving off diseases, for instance, or transporting ions across cell membranes. A better understanding ...
Medical Xpress / New technology helps reveal how the heart generates cells with regenerative potential
Two research teams at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) have developed a pioneering technique in Spain to characterize the proteome of individual cardiomyocytes—the cells responsible ...
Phys.org / Businesses often row back on ethics when times get tough. Here's how technology can keep them on track
Five carmakers are involved in a case at the High Court in London over claims that they cheated on emissions tests. A decade ago, the "dieselgate" scandal broke, eventually forcing Volkswagen to pay billions of euros in fines ...
Phys.org / Images: Perseverance reaches 'marathon' milestone on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover appears as a green speck on the Martian surface on June 13, 2026, a day before the robotic explorer marked a distance milestone, having traveled a full marathon (26.2 miles, or 42.195 kilometers) ...
Medical Xpress / What a 'silenced' chromosome can tell us about autoimmunity
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus, is an autoimmune disorder that occurs more frequently in women. Having multiple X chromosomes has been associated with an increased risk of developing lupus; ...
Phys.org / Surprising diversity found among Europe's last Neanderthals
A new study published in Nature provides the most detailed picture to date of Neanderthal diversity in Western Europe shortly before their extinction.
Medical Xpress / Robust colorectal cancer signature identified in large-scale microbiome study
Researchers have long suspected that the gut microbiome—the community of bacteria and other microorganisms living in the intestine—is closely linked to colorectal cancer. In a new study published in Cell Host & Microbe, an ...
Phys.org / Oldest example of preserved tube feet reveals clues about the lives of 452-million-year-old sea lilies
Echinoderms, such as starfish, sea urchins and sea lilies, use small, flexible, tubular projections called "tube feet" for locomotion, feeding, respiration and sensory perception. Crinoids, a subgroup of echinoderms, are ...
Phys.org / Image: Roman Telescope arrives at Kennedy Space Center
In this photo from June 21, 2026, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope arrives at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard NASA's Pegasus barge. After offloading and transportation to the spaceport's Payload ...
Tech Xplore / Agility Robotics heads to Wall Street in a $2.5B bet on staffing warehouses with humanoids
A maker of humanlike robots that carry totes around warehouses is going public on Wall Street in a test of whether there's a market for putting AI-powered humanoid machines to work.
Tech Xplore / Scientists demonstrate solar-powered plastic recycling at real-world scale
Researchers have demonstrated how to use the power of the sun to turn plastic waste, such as drink bottles, into clean hydrogen fuel at a scale large enough to be genuinely useful in the real world, using a scalable approach.
Tech Xplore / Exoskeleton and robotic arm reduce factory lifting strain by up to 65%
More and more robots are assisting workers in factories. However, human-robot collaboration is still far from seamless. Researchers from Prof. Lorenzo Masia's team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed ...
