Phys.org / New membrane accelerates purification of industrial solvents
Researchers from the Department of Chemical Engineering, working with an international team led by KU Leuven, have developed a membrane technology to improve the efficiency of purifying widely used solvents.
Medical Xpress / Has the definition of autism become too broad to be useful?
The definition of autism may have become so broad that it risks confusion and even misdiagnosis, according to a new editorial by UCL professor Dame Uta Frith, whose pioneering research in the 1960s and '70s laid the foundations ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify promising new target behind treatment resistance in advanced breast cancer
A new Houston Methodist-led study published in Clinical Cancer Research reports a breakthrough in understanding why some patients with metastatic breast cancer fail to respond to a common and important early-stage treatment.
Phys.org / Study offers new clues to a long-standing mystery about bonnethead sharks
A new study of bonnethead sharks (Sphyrna tiburo) in Florida dispelled a previous hypothesis about how the distinctive head shapes of males and females develop, offering new insight into one of the species' most unusual biological ...
Medical Xpress / Social determinants of health linked to more fatalistic cancer beliefs
New research from Thomas Jefferson University shows that greater cumulative exposure to adverse social determinants of health is associated with beliefs that cancer is unavoidable or a death sentence. This can influence whether ...
Phys.org / Bringing it all into focus—computational microscope captures 25.2 billion pixels per second across a wide field of view
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But improving one of these properties typically comes at the expense of another. Now, a UC Berkeley–led ...
Phys.org / Research finds rhetoric around #MeToo often focused on punishment, not causes of violence
The #MeToo movement began as a way for victims of gender-based violence to find solidarity, share their experiences and bring justice to perpetrators of misconduct. New research from the University of Kansas shows that conversations ...
Medical Xpress / Nurses call for a prevention-focused approach to child health
Currently, the U.S. health care system is very reactive, mainly treating people, including children, after they become sick rather than preventing illness. School nurse expert Erin Maughan and colleagues in the American Academy ...
Medical Xpress / A handful of corporations now shape how adolescents in Medicaid get care
The United States is in the middle of a well-documented adolescent mental health crisis. Because Medicaid provides medical coverage for roughly half of all children in the country, the program has an essential role in responding ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds Botox cuts pediatric chronic migraine headaches
A prospective study led by researchers at Children's National found that onabotulinumtoxinA (ONA), commonly known as Botox, reduces headache frequency and headache-related disability in children and young adults with chronic ...
Phys.org / Mechanical shortcut' rapidly carries organic particles into the deep ocean
The processes that capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it on the seabed are crucial for climate balance. However, assessing these mechanisms is often complicated because it requires measurements ranging from the ...
Phys.org / Four labs find experimental differences can undermine AI catalyst predictions
To turn abundant carbon dioxide into valuable fuel, we need a fast and efficient way to determine which catalysts work best over the longest time. AI models have the potential to help guide catalyst selection, but as with ...
