Researchers have consistently shown that prenatal exposure to Di (2-ethyhexyl) phthalate harms the reproductive system in male mice and causes fertility defects. In a new study, scientists have shown that the combination of DEHP and a high-fat diet in …

A new study identifies NLRC5 as an innate immune sensor that plays a crucial role in PANoptotic cell death — making it a key therapeutic target.

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the boundaries of rotation sensitivity in entanglement-based…

Researchers have developed a new nanomedicine therapy that delivers anticancer drugs to lung cancer cells and enhances the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. The team showed promising results for the new therapy in cancer cells in the lab and in …

A technique can plan a trajectory for a robot using only language-based inputs. While it can’t outperform vision-based approaches, it could be useful in settings that lack visual data to use for training.

A new study has shown for the first time that when sandhoppers want to enter a period of deep sleep each winter they have the means through which to increase the magnesium levels in their bodies — in some instances more than doubling them. Essentially…

Researchers have developed a new metric from measured blood circulation in our brain. This metric has implications for brain conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

An international team has discovered a spectrum characteristic of an altermagnetic material with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism.

Scientists have clocked the speed of Cepheid stars — ‘standard candles’ that help us measure the size of the universe — with unprecedented precision, offering exciting new insights about them.

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), as a source of entangled photons, is of great interest for quantum physics and quantum technology, but so far it could be only implemented in solids. Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, SPDC…

Scientists have shown in laboratory experiments that an increase in temperature from 37 to 40 degrees Celsius increased the resistance rate for two antimicrobials, while for a third antimicrobial, the higher temperature reduced the resistance rate. If …

A low vitamin B6 level has negative effects on brain performance. A research team has now found a way to delay the degradation of the vitamin.
