Medical Xpress / New study could unlock how body's emergency blood factory is connected to aging and cancer
Researchers at Columbia University have identified a switch that turns on the rapid production of blood cells in emergency situations, a finding that could help researchers uncover new treatments for aging and some of the ...
Tech Xplore / New battery management system makes electric car batteries safer and more durable
Just as an orchestra needs a conductor, a battery management system (BMS) controls the power storage of an electric vehicle. However, until now, monitoring has been based only on the voltages, currents and temperatures of ...
Phys.org / Greenland sees wildfires earlier in the year
Greenland has recently been hit by localized wildfires, a rarity at this time of year that could be explained by global warming, a researcher at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources said Thursday.
Tech Xplore / Batteries dominate future road freight—but hydrogen still has a role to play
Battery-electric trucks are expected to play the leading role in the future decarbonization of road freight transport. At the same time, a new study from Chalmers University of Technology shows that hydrogen could remain ...
Tech Xplore / AI model extracts hidden semiconductor properties from simple transistor tests in under 1 millisecond
A tandem neural network capable of inferring key physical parameters of semiconductor materials from simple transistor measurements has been developed, as reported by researchers from the Institute of Science, Tokyo. While ...
Medical Xpress / Brain cells reshape structure and function for vision and memory tasks, study finds
An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve cells in the brain specialize ...
Phys.org / Ripple-like rings of the 'Bullseye galaxy' could be explained by dark matter
Two U.S. physicists have suggested that the nine concentric rings surrounding the galaxy LEDA 1313424, also known as the Bullseye galaxy, could have emerged through the quantum behavior of particles of dark matter. Through ...
Medical Xpress / Paid paternal leave linked to better mental health outcomes for dads
A new study from Northwestern University and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago highlights the critical role paid paternal leave plays in supporting new dads' mental health following the birth of their baby.
Medical Xpress / How sleep and AQP4 gene variants may jointly shape early Alzheimer's brain changes
New research from Edith Cowan University has discovered an important link between genes and sleep habits, suggesting they work together to influence early brain and cognitive changes associated with Alzheimer's disease long ...
Phys.org / 42-year study tracks how 'forever chemicals' move through the Great Lakes
University of Notre Dame researchers analyzed 42 years of biological records from the Great Lakes, unveiling how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or "forever chemicals," have moved across the region, contaminating ...
Medical Xpress / Respiratory symptoms in people with COPD worsen when walking in areas with high levels of black carbon
Physical activity, particularly walking, is a common recommendation for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, carrying out this activity in polluted areas may increase exposure to airborne contaminants. ...
Phys.org / Bedding structure controls rainfall runoff in mountain catchments
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have discovered that rainwater runoff in the highly rugged sedimentary rock mountains of Japan's Southern Alps is governed by two processes: "deep infiltration" and "shallow drainage ...
