Native species in California’s estuaries are expected to experience greater declines as invasive species interact with climate change, according to a new study.

A study suggests that women who get recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) may be caught in a vicious cycle in which antibiotics given to eradicate one infection predispose them to develop another.

Human activities such as marsh draining for agriculture are increasingly eating away at saltwater and freshwater wetlands that cover only 1% of Earth’s surface but store more than 20% of all carbon dioxide absorbed by ecosystems worldwide. A new study …

Scientists develop micro-organospheric models to predict therapeutic response accurately and rapidly, enabling cutting-edge precision oncology.

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in this process, known as mitosis, is currently being …

Scientists have demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum processors to solve problems of practical use.

When it comes to treating heart attacks, U.S. hospitals may have the latest tech and low readmission rates, but the country’s mortality rate is one of the highest among the nations included in a new study. The study found substantial differences in car…

Scar-like cells that make up a sizable portion of malignant pancreatic tumors and shield these cancers from immune attack are derived from mesothelial cells that line tissues and organs, a new study suggests. The findings could offer a new strategy to …

Holding the right material at the right angle, researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet — a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devi…

Researchers are applying a form of artificial intelligence (AI) — previously used to analyze how National Basketball Association (NBA) players move their bodies — to now help scientists develop new drug therapies for medical treatments targeting canc…

A modified PRS increases predictive accuracy by integrating data from diverse populations.

Photonics researchers have created a potentially disruptive technology for the ultraviolet optics market. Solid-state ‘metalens’ transform long-wave UV into focused ‘vacuum UV,’ a type of light used in semiconductor manufacturing that is costly, in par…

Researchers used an Artificial Intelligence Materials Selection framework (AIMS) to discover a new shape memory alloy. The shape memory alloy showed the highest efficiency during operation achieved thus far for nickel-titanium-based materials. In addit…

A new study reports a 50 to 60 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among women who started endoscopy screening at age 45 compared to those who had not undergone screening at all.
