Medical Xpress / Dry mRNA vaccine patches reveal design rules for room-temperature storage
New research could help make future mRNA vaccines easier to store and distribute. The study, involving RMIT University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School, identified conditions that help ...
Medical Xpress / Most veterans and service members who die by firearm suicide never disclose their intent
Most veterans and U.S. military service members who die by firearm suicide don't disclose their suicidal intentions in the month before their death, according to Rutgers researchers. Their study, published in The Journal ...
Medical Xpress / What research reveals about transmasculine pregnancy
A recent review of published research provides some evidence that a small but noteworthy minority of transmasculine people (trans, nonbinary, and other gender-expansive people who were assigned female at birth) have pregnancies ...
Medical Xpress / Investigational drug that targets DNA damage help could treat Alzheimer's disease
Accumulation of DNA damage in the brain's neurons may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. New research in FEBS Open Bio demonstrates the therapeutic potential of a drug that targets this process.
Phys.org / How climate change affects interactions between owls and their prey
A study published in Ecography has assessed how climate change may be destabilizing interactions between predators and prey in the wild—specifically, how owl–prey interactions have responded to environmental variability and ...
Phys.org / How foreign direct investments affect employment and income in rural areas of the US
Federal trade and industrial policies have triggered a new wave of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States, with some companies committing billions of dollars to U.S.-based manufacturing. Now, an analysis in ...
Phys.org / Global warming, increasing wildfire risk threaten viability of some California winery regions
The U.S. is the fourth-largest wine-producing country by output volume, and approximately 80% of its production occurs in California. Ever since the 19th century, California's premier wine-growing regions have been the Napa ...
Phys.org / NASA's New Horizons spacecraft wakes from its longest hibernation in good health
Following its longest hibernation period ever of nearly a year, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has emerged in good health and is ready to begin transmitting science data gathered in the distant Kuiper Belt far beyond Pluto.
Phys.org / Migratory birds may carry fewer parasites between islands than expected, DNA shows
A new study published in the Journal of Helminthology by researchers from the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, together with collaborators from Greenland and the Faroe ...
Phys.org / How tall and short trees can coexist in old growth forests
Forests are shaped by light competition. The trees that grow the tallest have access to the most sunlight, blocking the rays and rendering the shaded space around them inhospitable to shorter trees below. In this stem exclusion ...
Phys.org / Evidence of elusive high-energy gravitons in quantum Hall systems
Electrons, negatively charged particles, sometimes coordinate their movements in ways that produce certain collective excitations referred to as quasiparticles. One case in which this occurs is the quantum Hall effect, a ...
Phys.org / Saturn-ring-like laser emission from chiral polymeric microspheres
Controlling light within microscopic spaces is crucial for next-generation optical devices such as photonic integrated circuits and localized sensors. Microspheres formed of luminescent π-conjugated polymers act as optical ...
