Phys.org / Turning everyday filter paper into a miniature microfluidic platform with DLP 3D printing
Scientists used a 3D-printing approach to pattern hydrophobic barriers inside hydrophilic filter paper. These barriers, designed in different geometries, guide liquids along precise paths and shape their flow behavior, demonstrating ...
Medical Xpress / Low-capability pediatric hospitals more than doubled from 2003 to 2022: Study
From 2003 to 2022, there was a more than doubling in low-capability pediatric hospitals, according to a study published online Dec. 10 in Pediatrics.
Medical Xpress / Off-the-shelf immunotherapy offers new hope for toughest myeloma
A new Mayo Clinic study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has uncovered that an off-the-shelf, dual-antibody therapy can generate deep and durable responses in extramedullary multiple myeloma—one of the most ...
Phys.org / Polarized light boosts accuracy of wearable health sensors for all skin tones
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical sensing technique that measures blood volume changes and underpins devices ranging from hospital-grade pulse oximeters to consumer wearables that track heart rate, sleep, and oxygenation.
Phys.org / Prairie strips can rapidly improve soil health
Prairie strips can improve measures of soil health faster than expected, according to new research by Iowa State University scientists working in cooperation with the Soil Health Institute.
Medical Xpress / Study links gut and bloodstream infections in newborns within sub-Saharan Africa for the first time
New research from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) has shown gut and bloodstream infections are caused by the same bacteria, giving hope of better prevention and diagnosis of deadly neonatal sepsis.
Medical Xpress / Family history of cardiometabolic disease linked to faster heart damage in youth
A new study of more than 1,500 British adolescents is the first in the world to assess the association between familial cardiometabolic diseases and the offspring's risk of premature heart damage by early adulthood. The study ...
Tech Xplore / Data-driven framework predicts electric vehicle range with improved real-world accuracy
"Range anxiety" remains one of the major issues of electric vehicles (EVs). Most of the existing range prediction technologies rely on simulated conditions or limited datasets, making it difficult to accurately capture variations ...
Phys.org / Investor attention on individual stocks can predict marketwide performance
A growing number of studies show that when investors pay close attention to individual stocks, it significantly impacts how they learn about and trade those stocks, which in turn drives stock price movements. In other words, ...
Phys.org / Theoretical results could lead to faster, more secure quantum technology
University of Iowa researchers have discovered a method to "purify" photons, an advance that could make optical quantum technologies more efficient and more secure.
Phys.org / Why socially responsible investing can backfire
Socially responsible investors (SRIs) often see themselves as agents of social or environmental progress. They buy into polluting or "dirty" companies believing that their capital can nudge a business toward a cleaner path. ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-free DNA could detect adverse events from immunotherapy
A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs, investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer ...
