Medical Xpress / Early research shows new blood test can help predict testicular cancer recurrence
A new study co-led by WEHI has found a simple blood test can help identify the early-stage testicular cancer patients who are most at-risk of cancer relapse. The CLIMATE study found a protein, which is released into the bloodstream ...
Tech Xplore / Hardware for humanoid robots: New perspectives for industrial value creation in Europe
Humanoid robots are currently developing at a rapid pace. The predicted growth potential is enormous. They are set to replace and even surpass the automotive industry in terms of market potential. And in the media and at ...
Phys.org / Recycling jumps when garbage collection drops, new research shows
Despite some modest progress over the past two decades, Canada's waste diversion efforts remain wanting: according to the Canadian government, only 27% of the country's waste is recycled, composted, or otherwise diverted ...
Medical Xpress / Open data to help create adaptive systems for stroke recovery
A team of researchers from Skoltech, the Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnologies (FMBA of Russia), Lomonosov Moscow State University, and other leading organizations has released a dataset that will enable deeper study ...
Phys.org / A community-driven standard for reporting metal–organic framework syntheses
Scientists at the EU4MOFs research network have taken the initiative to standardize the reporting of synthetic procedures and material properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). To this aim, they have developed the ...
Phys.org / A 2,850‑year‑old mass grave in Serbia reveals a shift in prehistoric violence
The earliest mass graves in Europe date back just over 7,000 years. They reveal brutal evidence for violence beyond the simple act of killing. The motives for these events are probably diverse but consistently highlight an ...
Medical Xpress / Novel imaging tracer reveals how tumors use fat to grow
A new King's College London study introduces a brand-new imaging tracer that looks at how tumors use fats to fuel their growth. The human body uses a variety of nutrient sources to provide the energy we need for everyday ...
Medical Xpress / How to get ready for daylight saving time
You love it—or loathe it. Either way, the clocks jump forward one hour on Sunday morning for the start of Daylight Saving Time, providing an extra hour of evening light through Nov. 1. That means one hour less sleep this ...
