Phys.org / A pinch of salt can steer colloids for improved water purification and drug delivery
The ability to better steer particles suspended in liquids could lead to better water purification processes, new drug delivery systems, and other applications. The key ingredient, say Yale researchers, is a pinch of salt.
Tech Xplore / The future of batteries is in your closet: Scientists show nylon can improve lithium battery performance
In two new studies published in ACS Energy Letters and Energy & Environmental Science, scientists in Saudi Arabia have made a breakthrough that could increase the power and lower the cost of lithium-metal batteries by incorporating ...
Medical Xpress / Early-life gut microbes linked to diabetes protection in mice
The microbiome shapes the development of insulin-producing cells in infancy, leading to long-term changes in metabolism and diabetes risk, new research in mice has found.
Phys.org / In contrast to Earth, Mars's middle atmosphere appears driven by gravity waves
A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes.
Medical Xpress / Incidents of children being poisoned by fentanyl have risen in the US, national data show
Incidents of children in the US being poisoned by the synthetic opioid fentanyl "increased and became more severe," a new study reveals.
Phys.org / Quantum dot discovery for LEDs brings brighter, more eco-friendly displays
New research by Curtin University has achieved a breakthrough in eco-friendly display technology, creating highly efficient and stable blue quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) that could power the next generation of televisions, smartphones, ...
Medical Xpress / Neurostimulation shows promise as potential Alzheimer's treatment in preliminary trial
Repeated sessions of electrical stimulation to brain networks associated with memory improved verbal learning in some Alzheimer's disease patients for up to eight weeks in a preliminary trial led by UT Southwestern Medical ...
Phys.org / Hawaii's sinking coastlines: Flooding threat looms sooner than expected
Some parts of Hawaii are sinking faster than others. That discovery, published in Communications Earth & Environment by researchers at the University of Hawaii (UH) at Mānoa, also highlights that as sea level rises, the ...
Phys.org / Methane surge could influence polar ozone recovery, study finds
A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences sheds light on the complex relationship between methane emissions and the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer. The research underscores how future increases ...
Phys.org / Indigenous languages: The pace of extinction is slower than expected—but still alarming
On average, every month across the globe, two Indigenous languages disappear, according to the United Nations. And 40% of the world's languages, mostly Indigenous, are threatened with long-term extinction as fewer and fewer ...
Tech Xplore / 'One-pot' technique creates inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes simultaneously
Creating battery electrolytes—the component that carries the charged particles back and forth between a battery's two terminals—has always been a tradeoff.
Phys.org / Novel enzyme breaks down and synthesizes previously unexplored glycans with prebiotic potential
Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies. Galactosides are a type of glycan found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. ...
