Phys.org / Peptide blocks DNA breaks tied to treatment-induced leukemia, offering new prevention route
Thanks to effective therapies, more and more people are now able to live with or after cancer in the long term. Consequently, the number of patients affected by the long-term effects of their treatment is also increasing. ...
Phys.org / Alien signal claims face stricter verification under updated disclosure rules
The IAA SETI Committee has updated rules for evaluating and revealing the detection of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Phys.org / NASA satellites reveal major ocean nutrient stress
A new study combining NASA satellite observations, ocean surveys and genetic testing of marine microorganisms found evidence that warming ocean waters may be limiting nutrient availability across much of the global ocean. ...
Phys.org / Magnesium transporter discovery could improve rice nutrition and taste
Rice is a staple food for nearly half the global population and an important dietary source of magnesium, a mineral essential for human health, plant growth and energy metabolism. Although magnesium is known to influence ...
Phys.org / Researchers craft a new, simple recipe for highly entangled quantum states
Building useful quantum technologies—from sensors to computers—requires generating highly complex entangled states, in which the properties of particles are deeply intertwined. Producing such states has traditionally required ...
Phys.org / Satellites reveal cities' 'urban pulse,' tracking neighborhood growth in near real time
For over a century, doctors have used electrocardiograms (EKGs) to render the invisible electrical activity of the human heart visible, using the pulse to diagnose disease before it becomes fatal. Now, scientists have invented ...
Phys.org / Plants could be used to grow medicines in space, study shows
Astronauts on long space missions may one day use plants to produce fresh stocks of medicines on demand, thanks to new research by engineers at the University of California San Diego. The team developed a simple method to ...
Phys.org / Ocean collapse triggered ancient wildfires, research suggests
Research led by the University of Alabama found that widespread wildfires during one of Earth's ancient environmental crises did not trigger an ocean collapse but were a consequence of it.
Phys.org / New cryogenic silicon carbide hardware addresses quantum computing bottleneck
Researchers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Centre for Advanced Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits (CASIC) have achieved ...
Phys.org / Research uncovers novel electronic properties in quantum material
Florida State University physicists are part of a team that has discovered unusual superconducting states in parts of graphene, with the potential to drive unexpected quantum technologies.
Phys.org / Twisted stacking lets 2D conductor keep single-layer performance in bulk form
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are significantly thinner than a single sheet of paper, have long drawn attention for their exceptional performance. However, they have faced a critical limitation: Their performance ...
Phys.org / How wax moth larvae can help reduce animal testing in research
Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) have demonstrated that larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, are suitable as an alternative infection model for investigating the pathogenicity of ...
