Tech Xplore / New process densifies electrolytes, stabilizing lithium anodes for long-lasting all-solid-state batteries
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries—the next generation of batteries that can store more energy, are ...
Phys.org / Behind nature's blueprints: Physicists create 'theoretical rulebook' of self-assembly
Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.
Phys.org / Deformable adjuvants can enhance immune activation in new vaccine design
Conventional vaccine adjuvants primarily rely on molecular binding and biochemical stimulation to activate immune responses, which often leads to limited efficacy in elderly or low-responsive populations. How to introduce ...
Phys.org / How did these strange, ancient organisms turn into such remarkable fossils?
In Earth's fossil record, soft-bodied organisms like jellyfish rarely stand the test of time. What's more, it's hard for any animal to get preserved with exceptional detail in sandstones, which are made of large grains, are ...
Medical Xpress / Auto-brewery syndrome: What causes some people's gut microbes to produce high alcohol levels?
Researchers at University of California San Diego, Mass General Brigham, and their colleagues have identified specific gut bacteria and metabolic pathways that drive alcohol production in patients with auto-brewery syndrome ...
Phys.org / Astrophysicists map how many ghost particles all the Milky Way's stars send towards Earth
They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our bodies, our planet, even the entire cosmos. These so-called neutrinos are elementary particles ...
Phys.org / Deep Sulawesi cave dig could reveal overlap between extinct humans and us
Could Homo sapiens and an archaic and now-extinct species of early human have lived alongside each other on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi more than 65,000 years ago?
Medical Xpress / Controlled hotel study finds zero flu transmission between sick students and healthy adults
This year's flu season is turning out to be brutal. As a new variant known as subclade K spreads rapidly, a study out today offers clues as to how to avoid the annual sickness.
Medical Xpress / A stress-related chemical could initiate symptoms of depression
Depression, one of the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, impaired daily functioning and a loss of interest in daily activities, often along with altered ...
Phys.org / Tree bark microbes also clean the air by removing greenhouse and toxic gases
Australian researchers have discovered a hidden climate superpower of trees. Their bark harbors trillions of microbes that help scrub the air of greenhouse and toxic gases.
Phys.org / Earliest known barred spiral galaxy spotted just 2 billion years after Big Bang
Research led by Daniel Ivanov, a physics and astronomy graduate student in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at Pitt, uncovered a contender for one of the earliest observed spiral galaxies containing a stellar ...
Phys.org / Conserved genome regulatory elements found in both vertebrates and echinoderms
The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates). This is one of the most notable conclusions of a ...
