Phys.org / Study shows 90% metal pollution drop in Adirondack waters five decades after the clean air act
A study published by researchers at the University at Albany has presented the first documented evidence that Adirondack surface waters have made a near full recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists are changing number of experiments run by employing coordinated team of AI-powered robots
To build the experimental stations of the future, scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, ...
Medical Xpress / Daily doses of peanuts tackle allergic reactions in adults, Phase II trial shows
The first clinical trial to test whether adults allergic to peanuts can be desensitized has shown great success with two thirds of the cohort consuming the equivalent of five peanuts without reacting.
Medical Xpress / Tiny plastic particles found in artery-clogging plaque in the neck
People with plaque in the blood vessels of their neck have a higher amount of tiny plastic particles in those vessels compared to people with healthy arteries. This increase was significantly higher in people who had experienced ...
Phys.org / First-ever real-time visualization of nanoscale domain response may boost ultrasound imaging technology
Ultrasound imaging is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern medicine. Behind its noninvasive magic lies a class of materials known as piezoelectric single crystals, which can convert electrical signals into ...
Phys.org / Colloidal crystal model reveals new factors in controlling polymorph formation
Polymorphs are not mythical, chimeric beasts—they are substances with identical chemical compositions but differing crystal structures that also exhibit different physical and chemical properties. What this means for practical ...
Phys.org / High-tech sticker can identify real human emotions
Saying one thing while feeling another is part of being human, but bottling up emotions can have serious psychological consequences, such as anxiety or panic attacks. To help health care providers tell the difference, a team ...
Phys.org / Rethinking neutron star mergers: Study explores the effects of magnetic fields on their oscillating frequencies
Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying waves propagating through ...
Phys.org / A genetic basis of adaptive evolution: Complex chromosomal rearrangements drive color changes in stick insects
Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of Darwin. One focus of current debates is whether adaptive evolution relies on many mutations with ...
Medical Xpress / The hidden health risks of lip fillers
Plump, pouty lips are everywhere—from social media filters to celebrity red carpets. But behind the glossy aesthetic of lip fillers lies a growing concern among medical professionals.
Phys.org / Crystallography-informed AI achieves high performance in predicting novel crystal structures
A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of crystal structures from ...
Tech Xplore / Predicting material failure: Machine learning spots early abnormal grain growth signs for safer designs
A team of Lehigh University researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time—a development that could lead to the creation of stronger, more reliable ...
