Tech Xplore / Interface tweak triples graphene oxide fuel cell power density to 0.7 W/cm²
A breakthrough in interface engineering clears the path for sustainable, high-power hydrogen energy. As the world races toward a hydrogen-based society, the quest for a truly green fuel cell has faced a persistent material ...
Medical Xpress / Shifts in cancer mortality: Place of living increasingly determines where historic drop in cancer mortality reaches
In 1991, the U.S. experienced a significant shift in cancer death rates, as, for the first time, deaths began a steady decline that continues to the present day. Researchers at Mississippi State's Social Science Research ...
Phys.org / A nanoscale robotic cleaner can hunt, capture and remove bacteria
Tiny robots—around 50 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair—open up fascinating possibilities: they enable the controlled manipulation of objects far too small for human hands. This brings us closer to a long-standing ...
Medical Xpress / Expanding the fight against heart disease: Q&A with specialist who welcomes shift to more aggressive recommendations
U.S. medical organizations are looking to reduce deaths caused by heart disease, the nation's No. 1 killer, with new guidelines that reframe prevention as a lifelong battle that begins with testing in childhood.
Phys.org / Oldest dog DNA suggests 16,000 years of human companionship
The discovery of the oldest ever dog DNA suggests they have been our best friends for nearly 16,000 years—5,000 years earlier than had previously been thought, new research said Wednesday.
Phys.org / Astronomers find evidence for three subpopulations of merging black holes
Astronomers analyzing gravitational-wave data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration have reported that merging binary black holes fall into three distinct categories. The study shows that the three subpopulations have their ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug cuts Parkinson's-linked protein up to 60% in early trial
An experimental drug designed to silence a gene strongly linked to Parkinson's disease has shown encouraging effects in a first-in-human clinical trial, according to a study published in Nature Medicine. The drug, known as ...
Medical Xpress / New biological marker of early-stage Alzheimer's disease uncovered
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and a decline in mental functions. These symptoms are known to arise from an abnormal buildup of proteins known as amyloid ...
Phys.org / High-resolution imaging captures cavity-induced density waves in a quantum gas
A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, reports that scientists have successfully imaged the formation of cavity-induced density waves induced by laser light in an ultracold quantum gas. Previously, only global ...
Medical Xpress / Coffee's sweet spot may help mental health in the long run
Your morning cup of coffee may be more than just a pick-me-up. It may also be a simple boost for your mental well-being. In a recent study, researchers from Fudan University, China, wanted to find out whether the amount of ...
Phys.org / 'Poor man's Majoranas' can be used as quantum spin probes
A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, certain solid materials exhibit analogous behavior as if Majorana fermions were present through ...
Phys.org / Irish bog plant revives ancient remedy as a new weapon vs superbugs
Long before we had modern antibiotics to rely on, people often turned to traditional medicines from plants to treat infections.
