By Isabella Backman New Haven, Nov 23, 2025.- Yale School of Medicine (YSM) researchers have made key breakthroughs in understanding how to treat fibrotic diseases such as scleroderma and graft-versus-host disease. Fibrotic diseases are a group of conditions—often autoimmune—characterized by excessive tissue scarring. They can drastically hinder patients’ quality ofContinuar Leyendo
An ancient plant-fungus partnership has been revealed using advanced microscopy imaging, providing evidence of the mutually beneficial relationship that enabled plants to adapt to life on land. Cambrigde, Nov 21, 2025.- Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Natural History Museum, London have identified a new species of ancient symbioticContinuar Leyendo
París, Nov 20, 2025.- Astronomers recently discovered the 40 000th near-Earth asteroid! These space rocks range from a few metres to a few kilometres in size and are on orbits that bring them relatively close to Earth. Each new discovery is both a reminder of our planet’s vulnerability and aContinuar Leyendo
A team of international researchers led by the University of Vienna investigated the development of shark and ray biodiversity over the past 100 million years. Their surprising results show a continuous decline in diversity since the Eocene, 45 million years ago, which contradicts previous assumptions that biodiversity was either stableContinuar Leyendo
Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of small, very distant galaxies that have mystified astronomers, CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 represents a vital piece of this puzzle that challengesContinuar Leyendo
IT-Security Researchers from the University of Vienna and SBA Research identified and responsibly disclosed a large-scale privacy weakness in WhatsApp’s contact discovery mechanism that allowed the enumeration of 3.5 billion accounts. In collaboration with the researchers, Meta has since addressed and mitigated the issue. The study underscores the importance ofContinuar Leyendo
Last week, four lasers were projected into the skies above the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s) Paranal site in Chile. The lasers are each used to create an artificial star, which astronomers use to measure and then correct the blur caused by Earth’s atmosphere. The striking launch of these lasers, oneContinuar Leyendo
Bern, Nov 06, 2025.- The two scientists Wanda Kukulski and Paola Luciani from the University of Bern are part of two research teams that have each been awarded a prestigious ERC Synergy Grant. The funding enables them to advance groundbreaking projects in international collaboration in the fields of cell biologyContinuar Leyendo
Synchronization as social glue for communities A team of sports scientists and cognitive biologists at the University of Vienna has demonstrated in a new study that solving a task together can promote spontaneous movement synchronization. Such synchronization serves as a kind of «social glue» and plays an important role inContinuar Leyendo
Data and practical instructions for reliable experiments with polyoxometalates Polyoxometalates are complex molecular cages made of metal and oxygen atoms and are an important tool in experiments. However, they often behave differently than expected in solutions. Chemists at the University of Vienna have now systematically tested their properties and developedContinuar Leyendo
