Phys.org / Saturday Citations: JAXA collaboration with toy company TOMY; a new brain-computer interface; IBD solved
This week's notable citations: Astronomers believe collapsing stars could spawn mini universes. Chimpanzees do not like unfairness. And a single dose of psilocybin temporarily restored function in an 80-year-old with Alzheimer's ...
Phys.org / Engineering enzymes with potential against ALS and Parkinson's disease
In an advance that could one day lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, Meredith Jackrel, an associate professor of chemistry in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, and her team have developed ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar-coated CAR-T cells survive longer and shrink lymphoma tumors in mice
Scientists at Florida International University may have found a way to make a powerful cancer treatment work even better. The treatment, called CAR-T therapy, uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer. Doctors remove ...
Phys.org / El Niño arrives and could rank among strongest events since 1950
The phenomenon El Niño has arrived, the U.S. weather agency said Thursday, and scientists expect the pattern, synonymous with droughts, floods and soaring temperatures, will intensify through the end of the year, potentially ...
Medical Xpress / End-of-life care metric tracks how time grows more valuable for terminal cancer patients
A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method ...
Tech Xplore / How can we make buildings more resilient before—and after—earthquakes? We put one solution to the test
This week's magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the Philippines came with scenes familiar to New Zealanders: collapsed buildings, shattered facades and streets strewn with rubble.
Tech Xplore / Battery-free artificial photosynthesis keeps solar fuel production stable under shifting sunlight
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an artificial photosynthesis system capable of producing solar fuels more stably by integrating a self-regulating chemical component directly into the electrolyzer ...
Phys.org / The Ghosts of the Mediterranean: What a rare great white shark sighting could reveal about a changing ocean
Headlines were made this week when scuba divers removing abandoned ghost nets from a shipwreck between Tunisia and Sicily filmed an adult great white shark. The footage quickly made global news, yet the real story is not ...
Phys.org / How you can stop your cat from bringing home unwelcome pathogens
Pets form an important part of many people's lives, providing meaningful companionship. However, our pets can sometimes also be a source of unwelcome pathogens and diseases, particularly if they frequently roam outdoors.
Phys.org / AI sorts cell droplets into four shapes, uncovering drug effects in human cells
Researchers at Princeton University have harnessed AI to understand how drugs affect the dynamics of vital structures within the cell, introducing a tool that can map the shape of these structures to functional outcomes and ...
Tech Xplore / PhishLumos maps phishing infrastructure and finds 190,000 URLs in six months
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new paradigm for identifying online phishing campaigns. Their new system, PhishLumos, is triggered when links show signs of concealing information and looks for ...
Phys.org / Scientist creates 'mini‑universe' to measure time without a clock
A University of Birmingham scientist has built a "mini-universe" that takes a step toward answering one of science's biggest questions: "What is time?" Publishing his findings in Physical Review Research, Professor Giovanni ...
