Phys.org / NASA fuels its moon rocket in a crucial test to decide when Artemis astronauts will launch
NASA fueled its new moon rocket in one final make-or-break test Monday, with hopes of sending astronauts on a lunar fly-around as soon as this coming weekend.
Phys.org / Analyzing an enigmatic enzyme with potential for new antibiotic drug discovery
An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance. Key details in the enzyme-driven biosynthesis of a natural molecule with potent antibiotic activity ...
Phys.org / New database reveals how Americans use water
Water powers our lives. It feeds our crops, keeps factories running, generates electricity, and fills our taps. But until now, no one had a clear, national picture of how much water we're using—and for what.
Medical Xpress / A second set of eyes for nurses: Intelligent camera system helps monitor premature babies
Cambridge researchers have become the first to combine multiple image types—RGB (that mimics human vision), depth and infra-red—in a 3D camera set up to monitor premature babies in neonatal intensive care. The aim is ...
Medical Xpress / Study tracks 1,500 youths: One-third hit or kick a parent by 24
Physical aggression by young people toward their parents occurs quite frequently—yet the subject remains taboo. Victims often struggle with shame and avoid seeking help, hoping to shield their children from repercussions. ...
Medical Xpress / Stroke survivors can counterintuitively improve recovery by strengthening their stronger arm: New research
Stroke survivors often face substantial and long-lasting problems with their arms. Both arms often decline together: When one arm is more severely affected by the stroke, the other becomes more difficult to use as well. Compared ...
Phys.org / Intelligent sensors created for quality-assured cell production
Whether for drug screening or toxicity testing, stem cell-based 3D tissue models are key to biomedical research. However, producing cell aggregates in bioreactors is highly complex and cost-intensive. Until now, quality has ...
Medical Xpress / New study identifies key predictors of PFAS levels in US career firefighters
A new study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine has identified clear occupational factors and demographic indicators associated with elevated serum levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ...
Phys.org / Intercity quantum sensor network tightens axion dark matter constraints
Recently, scientists from institutions including the University of Science and Technology of China made a fundamental breakthrough in nuclear-spin quantum precision measurement. They developed the first intercity nuclear-spin-based ...
Tech Xplore / Quickly and precisely localizing radioactive material with drones and robots
Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive substances (CBRNE substances for short) can pose a threat to the public and to emergency services. For example, in 2023, a cesium capsule measuring just a few millimeters ...
Phys.org / Ancient Alaskan site may help explain how the first people arrived in North America
New evidence has emerged that sheds light on the possible first people to populate the Americas. Dating of stone and ivory tools found at an archaeological site in Alaska suggests that these early pioneers traveled through ...
Medical Xpress / Saline nasal spray alone resolves sleep-disordered breathing in nearly one-third of children, study finds
Investigators based at Monash Children's Hospital and Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne report that a once-daily intranasal saline spray resolved obstructive sleep-disordered breathing symptoms in nearly one-third of children ...
