Medical Xpress / Daily 20 mg of zinc reduces infections by nearly 40% in children with sickle cell anemia
A daily 20-milligram dose of zinc reduced infections by nearly 40% among Ugandan children younger than 5 with sickle cell anemia, according to new research led by scientists at the Indiana University School of Medicine and ...
Phys.org / A new approach to building noise-resistant quantum sensors
Quantum sensors, devices that collect measurements by exploiting quantum-mechanical phenomena, could potentially detect extremely weak magnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic signals with greater sensitivity than classical ...
Phys.org / Antarctic krill fishing is now concentrated in the exact pattern conservation rules were designed to prevent
The companies fishing for Antarctic krill have harvested so much so quickly that the season had to close in August 2026, three months before it was scheduled to end. That's the second consecutive year of an early closing.
Phys.org / Italian scientists bet on octopus to fight crab invasion
From a fishing trawler in the Adriatic, Italian scientists gently release thousands of tiny octopuses in the hope of fighting an invasive crab species that has devastated local fisheries.
Tech Xplore / Holographic laser printing makes 3D shapes—voids and all—in one shot
Researchers at the University of Utah's John and Marcia Price College of Engineering, in collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, have demonstrated a new method of 3D printing that avoids the ...
Phys.org / Dynamics of the Icelandic ice sheet altered North Atlantic seawater chemistry, environmental physicists reveal
Over the past 230,000 years, the growth and retreat of the Icelandic ice sheet have led to major changes in the seawater chemistry of the North Atlantic, caused by the interaction between volcanism and ice in Iceland. Scientists ...
Phys.org / AI boosts sensitivity to double-Higgs signatures occurring about once per trillion collisions
Is the universe as stable as we think it is? That's one of the big questions that particle physicists worldwide are preparing to answer with the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC—the world's most powerful particle accelerator—when ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find cold storage platelets safe and effective
A new study has found platelets kept in cold storage are as effective at treating bleeding and have a longer shelf life than platelets stored at room temperature. Dr. James Preuss and Dr. Warren Pavey, from The University ...
Phys.org / Honeybees struggle to gather nectar in August, direct measurements reveal
Letting late-summer weeds grow could help honeybees when they find it most challenging to gather nectar, according to new research published in the journal, Functional Ecology.
Phys.org / Fibrinogen discovery reshapes understanding of how wounds heal
Scientists have redefined how the key blood-clotting protein fibrinogen behaves when it contacts air, overturning two decades of scientific consensus on wound healing. It is the culmination of more than a decade of international ...
Phys.org / Magnetically levitated quantum bit could address design flaws
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, headquartered at Florida State University, have designed a new quantum computing architecture that uses magnetic levitation ...
Phys.org / Unusual superconductivity could emerge in valley-imbalanced rhombohedral graphene
Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together ...
