Phys.org / Commercially viable biomanufacturing: Designer yeast turns sugar into lucrative chemical 3-HP
Using a tiny, acid-tolerant yeast, scientists have demonstrated a cost-effective way to make disposable diapers, microplastics, and acrylic paint more sustainable through biomanufacturing.
Tech Xplore / One image is all robots need to find their way
While the capabilities of robots have improved significantly over the past decades, they are not always able to reliably and safely move in unknown, dynamic and complex environments. To move in their surroundings, robots ...
Phys.org / Greenland's Prudhoe Dome ice cap was completely gone only 7,000 years ago, study finds
The first study from GreenDrill—a project co-led by the University at Buffalo to collect rocks and sediment buried beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet—has found that the Prudhoe Dome ice cap was completely gone approximately ...
Medical Xpress / Common blood protein protects patients from lethal 'black fungus' infection, new study finds
Albumin is the most common protein in the blood, a vital molecule produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and transports proteins and hormones. It also plays a key role in fighting off a lethal disease called ...
Phys.org / Repeating fast radio burst shows diverse activity and hints at magnetar origin
Using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT), Indian astronomers have performed multi-frequency observations of a repeating fast radio burst designated FRB 20201124A. Results of these observations shed more ...
Phys.org / Engines of light: New study suggests we could increase useful energy obtained from sunlight
Physicists from Trinity College Dublin believe new insights into the behavior of light may offer a new means of solving one of science's oldest challenges—how to turn heat into useful energy.
Phys.org / Laser pulse 'sculpting' unlocks new control over particle acceleration
In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work with the highest possible focused laser peak power, which is the ratio of energy per unit area ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells maintain 95% of power conversion efficiency after 1,100 hours at 85°C with new molecular coating
Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing one of the main challenges holding the technology back from widespread use.
Phys.org / Single-cell testing shows which antibiotics actually kill bacteria, not just stop growth
Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually kill the pathogens in ...
Medical Xpress / Widely used pesticide linked to more than doubled Parkinson's risk
A new study from UCLA Health has found that long-term residential exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos is associated with more than a 2.5-fold increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
Phys.org / Seaweed farms boost long-term carbon storage by altering ocean chemistry, study shows
Seaweeds are versatile algae. They are sources of food, medicine, and many other products, and they have the added benefit of being extremely efficient at removing CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow.
Phys.org / Scientists map development of pancreas transport channels that deliver digestive enzymes
Organs often have fluid-filled spaces called lumens, which are crucial for organ function and serve as transport and delivery networks. Lumens in the pancreas form a complex ductal system, and its channels transport digestive ...
