Tech Xplore / Aviation fuel testing center delivers first results in push for greener flights
The University of Sheffield has announced a major milestone in the push for greener aviation, as it produces its first report from testing a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The research, from Sheffield's Energy Innovation ...
Medical Xpress / Spinal stimulation data reveal why high-frequency pulses may miss key nerve pathways
Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, such as following a spinal cord injury, has made great strides in recent years. However, high-frequency stimulation pulses, which are used in many current applications, appear less ...
Phys.org / When neighborhoods burn, the smoke carries more than soot
When fire tore through Los Angeles County in January 2025, westerly winds blew most of the smoke and ash over the Pacific, keeping the main measure of air quality, total mass of particles smaller than 2.5 microns, at or near ...
Phys.org / Extreme Lunar conditions need an extreme test rig
When people eventually head to the moon for long-term exploration and habitation, they'll need equipment and spacesuits made of well-tested materials. That's where NASA's Lunar Environment Test Rig (LESTR) comes in handy. ...
Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...
Medical Xpress / Exercising in the open air is the best ally to combat winter vitamin D deficiency, study says
Vitamin D is important for the body to function properly: it balances the immune system, helps to keep bones healthy and benefits muscle regeneration. Yet, 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. This is the case ...
Medical Xpress / UK's younger generations likelier to experience poor health earlier in life than previous cohorts, research shows
Younger generations appear to be experiencing poorer health earlier in life than previous generations, according to a review of studies comparing national birth cohort datasets involving tens of thousands of people across ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning personalizes depression treatment with the help of wearable technology
More than 21% of U.S. adults experience depression, greatly impacting their quality of life. Many people with mild-to-moderate depression can improve their symptoms by adjusting daily habits like sleep, exercise, diet and ...
Phys.org / New insights into how the human hand evolved from our ape-like ancestors
The human hand is an evolutionary marvel. While other primates rely on their hands for locomotion and basic grasping, ours can shape tools, manipulate objects, and perform detailed tasks requiring great dexterity and precision. ...
Phys.org / Supernova dust may be behind one of JWST's biggest puzzles
Astronomers may have found an explanation for one of the biggest mysteries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): why so many galaxies in the early universe appear unexpectedly bright in ultraviolet light. The ...
Medical Xpress / Data-driven biomaterials steer pancreatic cancer organoids into new cell states
Understanding and controlling how cancer cells transition between different states remains a critical challenge in tumor biology. In a recent publication in Advanced Materials, a team from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular pathways behind inflammation in alcohol-associated liver disease mapped
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have identified molecular mechanisms that drive inflammation in alcohol-associated liver disease. Their preclinical discoveries could one day provide targets for therapies ...
