Phys.org / 'Trained' bacteriophages expand treatment options for antibiotic-resistant infections
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges to global public health as harmful microbes evolve to evade these medications.
Phys.org / Lost signal: How solar activity silenced Earth's radiation
Researchers from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed seven years of data from the ERG (Arase) satellite and, for the first time, provided a detailed description of a ...
Phys.org / When superfluids collide, physicists find a mix of old and new behavior
Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of a galaxy.
Phys.org / White rhino born at Spain zoo in conservation success
A southern white rhino calf has been born at a zoo in eastern Spain, in a success for a European program aimed at preserving the threatened species.
Phys.org / Using AI to predict earthquakes: Machine learning detects subtle changes before lab-scale fault failures
Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by empirical evidence. As these factors often occur ...
Phys.org / New roles found for STIP1 and Maspin proteins in cell renewal and structure
Two recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists reveal the key roles of multifunctional proteins, STIP1 and Maspin, in vital cellular processes.
Phys.org / Scientists use Icelandic mudrocks to prepare for Mars sample analysis
To say that a trip from Earth to Mars is merely a long one would be a massive understatement. On July 30, 2020, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent its Mars rover "Perseverance" atop an Atlas ...
Phys.org / Subtle 'twists' control light in perovskites for improved LEDs, solar cells and quantum technologies
Research has revealed how minute structural modifications in advanced perovskite materials critically influence their light-emission properties.
Phys.org / Newly discovered Colombian orchid faces 'foretold' extinction under climate change
A team of Colombian botanists has issued an urgent wake-up call after discovering a remarkable new orchid species, only to project its likely extinction within decades due to climate change.
Phys.org / Few women named as authors on retracted medical studies, analysis shows
Women are underrepresented among authors of retracted publications, particularly in cases involving multiple retractions, according to a new study published in PLOS One by Paul Sebo of the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
Phys.org / Rocks on faults can heal following seismic movement, scientists discover
Earthquake faults deep in Earth can glue themselves back together following a seismic event, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The work, published in Science Advances, adds ...
Phys.org / Open spaces in cities may be hotspots for coyote-human interaction
Open semi-natural settings in urban areas—like parks and golf courses teeming with plants and small mammals—are possible hotspots for interaction between coyotes and humans, a new study suggests.
