Satellites observe glacier committing 'ice piracy'
A glacier in Antarctica is committing 'ice piracy' -- stealing ice from a neighbor -- in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short time frame, say scientists. 05/08/2025 11:31 AM
One glass, full color: Sub-millimeter waveguide shrinks AR glasses
Augmented-reality (AR) technology is rapidly finding its way into everyday life, from education and healthcare to gaming and entertainment. However, the core AR device remains bulky and heavy, making prolonged wear uncomfortable. A breakthrough now promises to change that. A research team has slashed both thickness and weight using a single-layer waveguide. 05/08/2025 11:31 AM
Waxing and waning prairie: New study unravels causes of ancient climate changes
A long period of drought in North America has been recognized by scientists for decades. A new study links the severe climate to a change in Earth's orbit. 05/08/2025 11:31 AM
Robotic dog mimics mammals for superior mobility on land and in water
A team of researchers has unveiled a cutting-edge Amphibious Robotic Dog capable of roving across both land and water with remarkable efficiency. 05/08/2025 11:27 AM
Advancing electrocatalyst discovery through the lens of data science
Data science has revolutionized the hunt for high-performing catalysts, enabling scientists to quickly identify and test suitable materials. 05/08/2025 11:27 AM
Scottish shrimp study illuminates new potential for bait-less fishing
Fishing pots fitted with LED lights catch significantly more shrimp and fish, new research shows. 05/08/2025 11:27 AM
All of the biggest U.S. cities are sinking
A new study of the 28 most populous U.S. cities finds that all are sinking to one degree or another. The cities include not just those on the coasts, where relative sea level is a concern, but many in the interior. Furthermore, using newly granular data, the study finds that some cities are sinking at different rates in different spots, or sinking in some places and rising in others, potentially introducing stresses that could affect buildings and other infrastructure. 05/08/2025 11:26 AM
Database reveals vital ocean links to aid conservation
Scientists have launched an interactive global map to show the migratory patterns of more than 100 marine species in an effort to protect at-risk wildlife. 05/08/2025 11:26 AM
Novel point of attack to combat dangerous tropical diseases
The efforts of a research team give hope for new treatment approaches for dangerous tropical diseases. The researchers have compiled a high-precision inventory of the membrane proteins of cell organelles of the African sleeping sickness pathogen. 05/08/2025 11:26 AM
Eco-friendly aquatic robot is made from fish food
An edible robot leverages a combination of biodegradable fuel and surface tension to zip around the water's surface, creating a safe -- and nutritious -- alternative to environmental monitoring devices made from artificial polymers and electronics. 05/08/2025 11:25 AM
Music therapy helps brain-injured children
Music could provide a breakthrough in assessing consciousness levels in children who have suffered significant brain injuries, according to new research. 05/08/2025 11:25 AM
Discovery opens up for new ways to treat chlamydia
Researchers have discovered a type of molecule that can kill chlamydia bacteria but spare bacteria that are important for health. The discovery opens the door for further research towards developing new antibiotics against chlamydia. 05/08/2025 11:25 AM
Promising Parkinson's drug decoded
How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked for their proper function -- defective cell components are marked, disposed of and recycled. This includes the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. Impaired quality control of mitochondria plays a central role in Parkinson's disease. 05/08/2025 11:25 AM
Just 30 species of tree dominate world's most diverse savanna
Scientists have found that a mere 30 species of trees in the Cerrado -- the world's largest and most floristically diverse savanna -- account for nearly half of all its trees. The 'hyperdominance' by a few species could help researchers understand how this vast ecosystem functions. 05/08/2025 11:25 AM
Evaluating the safety and efficacy of a smallpox vaccine for preventing mpox
The recent global monkeypox (mpox) outbreak, with a new and aggressive variant, has underscored the dire need for safe, broadly effective, and accessible vaccines. The LC16m8 vaccine, an attenuated vaccinia virus strain originally developed for smallpox, is a promising option for countering the mpox virus. Exploring this potential further, researchers employed a cross-species immunological analysis to provide new insights into LC16m8's immunogenicity and safety against mpox.

Biological age predicts cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality
Looking at your biological age -- the level of deterioration in your body -- can give a clearer picture of your heart disease risk than traditional tools alone. 05/08/2025 11:24 AM
HIV drugs offer 'substantial' Alzheimer's protection, new research indicates
The drugs, called NRTIs, have the potential to prevent a million cases of Alzheimer's every year, the researchers believe. 05/08/2025 11:24 AM
Reactivity to tumor antigens is important for TIL therapy
A team of researchers has found new insight into why some lung cancer patients do not benefit from tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL therapy. Their findings may help improve future ways to deliver this cellular immunotherapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. 05/08/2025 11:24 AM
