Tech Xplore / Taking the heat out of industrial chemical separations
The modern world runs on chemicals and fuels that require a huge amount of energy to produce: Industrial chemical separation accounts for 10% to 15% of the world's total energy consumption. That's because most separations ...
Medical Xpress / Specialized sensor tracks wound pH continuously to monitor healing
In a study led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Levent Beker from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Koç University, researchers have developed a specialized wound dressing that incorporates a sensor that continuously measures ...
Phys.org / Overcoming the solubility crisis: A solvent-free method to enhance drug bioavailability
A large share of medicines developed today may never reach patients for a surprisingly simple reason: they cannot dissolve well enough in water. For most treatments, the oral route remains the gold standard because it is ...
Tech Xplore / Discoveries in testing solid-fuel ramjets advance research
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are developing the next generation of solid-fuel ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion, addressing one of the field's most persistent challenges: understanding and predicting what happens ...
Phys.org / Direct imaging captures the crystalline vibrations of a supersolid made of atoms and light
The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon after, it was also discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Stroke telerehabilitation emerges as promising primer for recovery
In the U.S., a stroke happens roughly every 40 seconds. That means, in the time it takes to read a five-minute news article, more than seven Americans will have experienced this life-changing medical event, which is a leading ...
Phys.org / Burning satellites in the stratosphere: Emerging questions for climate
The sky is getting crowded. In the last few years, the number of satellite launches has increased by an order of magnitude as mega-constellations of internet-powering hardware crowd into low Earth orbit. The pace of both ...
Tech Xplore / New research enables safe reuse of concrete
Recent research in Sweden and Finland shows how used concrete's lifespan can be extended another 50 to 100 years when incorporated into new construction. A team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Tampere University ...
Phys.org / Intermittent black hole jets are like a 'cosmic volcano'
When astronomers look out into the cosmos, they see supermassive black holes (SMBH) in two different states. In one state, they're dormant. They're actively accreting only a tiny amount of matter and emit only faint, weak ...
Phys.org / The first direct observation of a liquid charge density wave
Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside some solid materials. These patterns can change how electricity flows through materials, in some ...
Phys.org / How defects make permanent magnets even more efficient
Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, environmentally friendly mobility. These are not simple blocks of metal, but carefully engineered materials ...
Medical Xpress / Terry Pratchett's novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, our new study suggests
The earliest signs of dementia are rarely dramatic. They do not arrive as forgotten names or misplaced keys, but as changes so subtle they are almost impossible to notice: a slightly narrower vocabulary, less variation in ...
