Medical Xpress / Neighborhood factors may lead to increased COPD-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations
Certain neighborhood characteristics, including higher poverty, more uninsured residents, and lower educational attainment, may lead to an increase in COPD-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations, according ...
Phys.org / Largest ever radio sky survey maps the universe in unprecedented detail
An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has published an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources and delivering the most complete census yet of actively growing ...
Phys.org / Female meiosis in plants can be directly observed with new method
A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female meiosis—the process by which germ cells are formed—in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The FeM-ID ...
Tech Xplore / What does 'flexibility' actually look like? New findings suggest speed limits for wearable devices
Flexible electronics are often sold on a simple promise: bendable screens, lightweight solar cells or wearable devices that can bend and flex without breaking. But what does that "flexibility" actually look like at the molecular ...
Medical Xpress / FDA's abrupt flip-flop on Moderna's mRNA flu shot highlights growing risks to drug-makers of investing in vaccines
The Food and Drug Administration's decision, made public on Feb. 10, 2026, to not review an application to approve Moderna's proposed mRNA-based flu vaccine set off a firestorm of criticism from public health experts.
Phys.org / Mother-daughter bonds in red deer tied to survival and more surviving calves
Strong social networking plays an important role in human relationships. New research on female red deer shows that those bonds are also crucial for their reproductive success and survival. The study, which looked at more ...
Phys.org / Global study finds smaller fish and shifting food webs despite stable species numbers
Species numbers alone do not fully capture how ecosystems are changing. In a global study, scientists analyzed long-term data from nearly 15,000 marine and freshwater fish communities. They found that fish food webs have ...
Phys.org / A new method to decode how DNA 'switches' control gene activity
DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how much those components should ...
Medical Xpress / Brain organoids can be trained to solve a goal-directed task
Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It takes practice to get good ...
Tech Xplore / Security vulnerabilities in Tesla's Model 3 and Cybertruck reveal how connected cars can be hacked
Hackers could exploit wireless systems in Tesla's Model 3 and Cybertruck to track vehicles, disrupt communications, and interfere with network performance, according to research from Northeastern University posted to the ...
Phys.org / Particles don't always go with the flow (and why that matters)
It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor Amir Pahlavan shows that ...
Tech Xplore / New gel electrolyte points to stronger, safer anode-free lithium batteries
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new gel electrolyte that both improves the lifetime and safety of anode-free lithium batteries, an emerging battery architecture that could dramatically boost energy density ...
