Phys.org / Double dip: Sampling contaminants of emerging concern two ways improves accuracy
Two are better than one when it comes to sampling methods for tracking the location and timing of toxic chemical contamination in waterways, according to researchers at Penn State. The team tested two typical sampling approaches ...
Tech Xplore / Machine learning tool could speed up fire safety assessments for steel beams
Researchers at The University of Manchester, Shandong Jiaotong University and Harbin Engineering University have developed a machine learning framework that enables rapid predictions of how protected steel beams respond during ...
Medical Xpress / Gut supplement shows promise against opioid-related damage in rat pups
New UNSW research published in Translational Psychiatry shows a gut supplement can repair opioid-related damage in rat pups, raising hopes for a future treatment for babies exposed to opioids in the womb.
Medical Xpress / Clinical guideline on radiation therapy for bladder cancer released
For appropriately selected patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, preserving the bladder can be a curative treatment option rather than removing it, according to a new clinical guideline from the American Society for ...
Phys.org / Disordered atoms steer shared light pulses by matching motion and timing
A research team at the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Darmstadt has shown for the first time that atoms that are completely disordered and in constant motion can nevertheless emit jointly directed light preferentially ...
Medical Xpress / Caregivers worldwide often sacrifice their own well-being, 20 years of research further confirms
