2+ hour, 18+ min ago  (517+ words) Today, however, oceans cover about 70% of Earth's surface. How water managed to endure the transition from this molten early phase to a largely solid planet has long puzzled scientists and driven decades of research. Water Hidden Deep Inside the Planet…...

1+ day, 17+ hour ago  (584+ words) A study reveals that restoring the brain's energy balance may not just slow Alzheimer's -- but actually reverse it. A Longstanding View of Alzheimer's Is Being Questioned That long-held assumption is now being challenged by researchers from University Hospitals, Case Western…...

2+ day, 3+ hour ago  (564+ words) Researchers led by RMIT University have developed extremely small particles called nanodots that can destroy cancer cells while largely leaving healthy cells unharmed. The particles are made from a metal-based compound and represent a possible new direction for cancer treatment…...

2+ day, 3+ hour ago  (1104+ words) The genes of your roommate may be shaping the bacteria in your gut, and your genes may be influencing theirs, according to a rat study published on December 18 in Nature Communications. By examining more than four thousand rats, researchers found…...

2+ day, 18+ hour ago  (857+ words) A research team from MIT and Stanford University has developed a new technique designed to push the immune system to go after tumor cells. The strategy is aimed at helping cancer immunotherapy succeed in far more patients than it does…...

3+ day, 22+ min ago  (436+ words) In 1798, officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count Rumford) made a simple but powerful observation while watching cannon barrels being drilled in Munich. The metal heated up continuously during the process, leading him to conclude that heat is not a physical…...

3+ day, 4+ hour ago  (400+ words) Scientists have developed a compact Raman imaging system that can reliably tell cancerous tissue apart from normal tissue. The approach could support earlier cancer detection and help move advanced molecular imaging tools beyond research laboratories and into more practical clinical…...

3+ day, 18+ hour ago  (745+ words) Would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses? The question is playful and unrealistic, but it points to a serious idea: the tension between quantity and quality. New research suggests this same tradeoff has shaped evolution, especially in…...

3+ day, 22+ hour ago  (559+ words) This achievement marks the first time such calculations have been carried out in full general relativity under radiation-dominated conditions. The results open a new window into how black holes behave in extreme environments that were previously out of reach for…...

4+ day, 2+ hour ago  (552+ words) Researchers at Duke University have created a new artificial intelligence framework designed to uncover clear, easy-to-understand rules behind some of the most complicated dynamics seen in nature and modern technology. The system is inspired by the work of history's great…...
