Researchers employed a specialized brain imaging technique to identify a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for Long COVID. More than four years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists are still working to fully understand the lingering effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2. O| SciTechDaily
Flakes of Silica “Snow” Fill the Skies of Puffy, Searing-Hot Exoplanet WASP-17 B Catching a glimpse of one of the most common and familiar minerals on Earth rarely merits a headline. Quartz is found in beach sands, building stones, geodes, and gem shops around the world. It’s melted to produce glas| SciTechDaily
TRAPPIST-1e shows no signs of its first atmosphere, but hints of a secondary one remain. Liquid water could still be possible. Astrophysicists at the University of Bristol are contributing to new insights about an Earth-sized exoplanet located 40 light years away, where liquid water could exist a| SciTechDaily
Telomere damage drives T cell exhaustion. Antioxidants restored their cancer-fighting strength in mice. Tumor environments place heavy stress on immune cells that fight cancer. Limited oxygen, elevated acidity, and other harsh conditions overload mitochondria, the cell’s energy producers, which c| SciTechDaily
3I/ATLAS is a fast, ancient interstellar object. Its odd features fuel both scientific study and speculation. On July 1, astronomers detected a strange, fast-moving object racing toward the Sun. Named 3I/ATLAS, it stood out for one remarkable reason: its orbit revealed that it had arrived from be| SciTechDaily
UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially "revolutionizing physics and rewriting the history of the universe." Physicists have long thought that black holes end their lives in rare explosions that occur, at most, once every 100,000 years. N| SciTechDaily
USF and FAU researchers identify bacterium behind 1,500-year-old pandemic mystery. For the first time, scientists have obtained direct genomic evidence of the bacterium responsible for the Plague of Justinian, the earliest known pandemic in recorded history. The outbreak, which struck the Eastern| SciTechDaily
What Is Dark Matter? Dark matter accounts for five times as much of the universe as ordinary matter. However, we know little about it other than that it only interacts with ordinary matter through gravity. Despite our lack of knowledge, scientists do have overwhelming indirect evidence for dark| SciTechDaily
What is Dark Matter? Dark matter is a form of matter that cannot currently be observed directly, but is estimated to comprise about 85% of all matter in the Universe. In our Universe, objects are attracted to one another by gravity. The greater an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pu| SciTechDaily
Physicists have created a novel detector capable of probing dark matter particles at unprecedentedly low masses. About 80 percent of the universe’s mass is believed to be dark matter, yet the makeup and organization of its particles remain largely unknown, leaving physicists with fundamental ques| SciTechDaily
Exercise intensity affects the gut microbiome, shifting bacteria and gut health markers. Diet and rest patterns also contribute to these changes. Exercise is widely known to benefit both mental and physical health, but new findings from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggest that the intensity of t| SciTechDaily
Their results pave the way for developing advanced electronic devices that rely on nonmagnetic materials. For the first time, researchers in Japan have detected a giant anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in a material that is not magnetic. The breakthrough was made using high-quality thin films of Cd3As| SciTechDaily
New and more precise acidity measurements may help make PFAS easier to track. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are nicknamed “forever chemicals” in part because their acidity helps them linger in the environment. Many of these toxic chemicals are strongly acidic, so they readily shed p| SciTechDaily

Researchers have discovered that brain cancer cells reprogram their sugar metabolism, a vulnerability that can be exploited in mice to impede tumor growth and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Glioblastomas are the most aggressive type of malignant brain tumor, and patients diagnosed with this condit| SciTechDaily

New water-activated electric bandages offer a fast, affordable solution for improving chronic wound healing at home. Chronic wounds are open wounds that heal slowly, if they heal at all. For example, sores that occur in some patients with diabetes are chronic wounds. These wounds are particularly| SciTechDaily
