Tech Xplore / 3D printing method crafts customizable foods for people who have trouble swallowing
In rapidly aging societies like Japan, the simple act of swallowing meals can be challenging for many. This condition, known as dysphagia, affects millions of people worldwide and can significantly deteriorate a person's ...
Phys.org / Self-renewing Fe-N-C catalyst shows improved durability for oxygen reduction in acid
Researchers at Tohoku University have created a new catalyst that can partly renew itself while working, opening possibilities for more durable materials in energy and chemical applications. The catalyst is designed for the ...
Phys.org / AI model maps building emissions to support fairer climate policies
An open-source artificial intelligence model to accurately map the carbon emissions of buildings across multiple cities could become a powerful new tool to help policymakers plan targeted and equitable decarbonization strategies.
Phys.org / Advanced computer modeling predicts molecular-qubit performance
A qubit is the delicate, information-processing heart of a quantum device. In the coming decades, advances in quantum information are expected to give us computers with new, powerful capabilities and detectors that can pick ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping fat: How microfluidics and mass spectrometry reveal lipid landscapes
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for ...
Phys.org / Previously unknown peptide sheds light on how tomato plants regulate their defenses
Tomato plants possess a sophisticated system to protect themselves against herbivores: the signaling peptide Systemin triggers a cascade of plant defense responses.
Tech Xplore / Soft skin, sharp senses: New robotic 'touch' sees danger before it hits
Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms. However, safely operating around humans requires more than strength or speed. Robots must also sense ...
Medical Xpress / Restricted blood flow speeds tumor growth by aging the immune system, study finds
Cutting off blood flow can prematurely age the bone marrow, weakening the immune system's ability to fight cancer, according to a new study from NYU Langone Health.
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict dengue fever with 80% accuracy
Researchers at Northeastern University can predict the emergence of a dengue fever outbreak with 80% accuracy—a breakthrough for public health officials tasked with preparing careworkers to handle spikes in the disease.
Phys.org / Hydrogen storage in perovskite crystals maximized using mechanochemistry
Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out the amount of hydrogen that can be stored in perovskite crystalline powder. The trick is to introduce ...
Phys.org / Kilauea's eruption is back as the Hawaii volcano shoots lava for the 31st time since December
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano resumed erupting Friday by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet (30 meters) into the air and across a section of its summit crater floor.
Phys.org / Hurricane Erin never hit land or caused major damage, but threatened turtle nests weren't so lucky
As Hurricane Erin pelted North Carolina's barrier islands with strong winds and waves this week, it destroyed many nests of threatened sea turtles, burying the eggs deep in sand or washing them out to sea.
