Tech Xplore / Hydrogen sensor that could pave the way for safer, cleaner energy
Scientists have developed a hydrogen sensor that could accelerate the transition to clean hydrogen energy. As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, hydrogen is considered a key player to the transition to cleaner ...
Phys.org / Algorithm sheds light on 'disordered' proteins once considered too difficult to study
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making structure prediction particularly challenging. Although these proteins exhibit ...
Phys.org / World's oldest meteorite impact crater found, rewriting Earth's ancient history
Curtin University researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
Medical Xpress / West Texas reports nearly 200 measles cases. New Mexico is up to 30
A historic measles outbreak in West Texas is just short of 200 cases, Texas state health officials said Friday, while the number of cases in neighboring New Mexico tripled to 30.
Phys.org / Novel enzyme breaks down and synthesizes previously unexplored glycans with prebiotic potential
Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies. Galactosides are a type of glycan found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. ...
Medical Xpress / 60% of adults will be overweight or obese by 2050: Study
Nearly 60 percent of all adults and a third of all children in the world will be overweight or obese by 2050 unless governments take action, a large new study said Tuesday.
Phys.org / Machine learning reveals hidden complexities in palladium oxidation, sheds light on catalyst behavior
Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute have developed the Automatic Process Explorer (APE), an approach that enhances our understanding of atomic and molecular processes. By dynamically refining simulations, APE has uncovered ...
Tech Xplore / Innovative biorobotic arm uses artificial muscles to combat tremors, paving way for wearable solutions
It is estimated that about 80 million people worldwide live with a tremor. For example, those who live with Parkinson's disease. The involuntary periodic movements sometimes strongly affect how patients are able to perform ...
Tech Xplore / New AI defense method shields models from adversarial attacks
Neural networks, a type of artificial intelligence modeled on the connectivity of the human brain, are driving critical breakthroughs across a wide range of scientific domains. But these models face significant threat from ...
Phys.org / Nitrogen's dominant role in global organic aerosol absorption revealed
A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. Published in Science, this study reveals that nitrogen-containing compounds ...
Phys.org / Private lunar lander touches down on the moon, but its status is unknown
A privately owned lunar lander touched down on the moon Thursday, but as the minutes dragged on, flight controllers could not confirm its condition or whether it was even upright near the south pole.
Phys.org / More potential locations for ice on the Moon discovered
Ice may be present a few centimeters below the moon's surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large, yet highly localized, variations in surface temperatures. The results, published ...
