Medical Xpress / Rb1 identified as predictive biomarker for new therapeutic strategy in some breast cancers
A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center details a therapeutic vulnerability in patients with an aggressive subtype of triple-negative breast ...
Phys.org / Africa's rarest carnivore: The story of the first Ethiopian wolf ever captured, nursed and returned to the wild
What's the value of one animal? When a wild animal is found badly injured, the most humane option is often euthanasia to prevent further suffering. That's what usually happens, and often for good reason. Even when the resources ...
Phys.org / Turning plastic waste into valuable chemicals with single-atom catalysts
The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is currently posing significant risks for both human health and the environment on Earth. A possible solution to this problem would be to recycle plastic waste, breaking it into smaller ...
Tech Xplore / All-optical chip achieves 100-fold speed boost over top-tier NVIDIA chips
Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide. Instead of using electricity to move ...
Tech Xplore / Redesigned carbon molecules boost battery safety, durability and power
Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery materials much safer, longer lasting, and more powerful by fundamentally redesigning how fullerene molecules ...
Phys.org / More than 16,000 dinosaur tracks discovered at a site in Bolivia
Scientists have discovered the single largest dinosaur track site in the world in Carreras Pampa, Torotoro National Park, Bolivia. The tracks were made about 70 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous Period, by theropods—bipedal ...
Medical Xpress / Why so many young people in China are hugging trees
In Beijing's central district, trees are everywhere: in parks, along roadsides and in courtyards inside people's houses. Many have only been planted in recent decades.
Medical Xpress / Stiffer colon could signal risk of early-onset colorectal cancer
Increased stiffness of the colon, spurred by chronic inflammation, may encourage the development and progression of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC), a study co-led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. ...
Medical Xpress / A urine-based biological aging clock: Machine learning and microRNA offer accurate prediction
Craif Inc. in Nagoya, Japan, working with Nagoya University's Institute of Innovation for Future Society, has developed a urine-based biological aging clock. In validation of the method, predicted ages came within 4.4 years ...
Tech Xplore / For computational devices, talk isn't cheap: Research reveals unavoidable energy costs across all communication channels
Every task we perform on a computer—whether number crunching, watching a video, or typing out an article—requires different components of the machine to interact with one another. "Communication is massively crucial for ...
Phys.org / Research uncovers the telltale tail of black hole collisions
When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But after the waves, there comes a second reverberation—a murmur that physicists have theorized but never ...
Phys.org / Reducing household waste poses serious challenges in residential high-rises
Like much of the Western world, Canada is facing a crisis in waste disposal as landfills reach their capacity. In Ontario, a live countdown gives municipal landfills just eight more years before they are full. We urgently ...
