Phys.org / Geomorphological approach evaluates Galápagos watersheds
Galápagos is a living laboratory where every environmental decision matters. On Santa Cruz, the most populated island of the archipelago, freshwater is a limited and increasingly vulnerable resource due to urban growth, ...
Phys.org / Like living cells, oil-in-water droplets form 'arms' in response to their environment
Oil-in-water droplets respond to chemical cues by forming arm-like extensions that resemble filopodia, which are used by living cells to sense and explore their environment.
Phys.org / Student researcher leads discovery of fastest gamma-ray burst ever recorded
Sarah Dalessi, a fifth-year student in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, is the lead author of a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning models could help diagnose ALS earlier through blood biomarkers
Using machine learning models, researchers at Michigan Medicine have identified a potential way to diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, earlier from a blood sample, a study suggests.
Medical Xpress / Dietary restriction fuels T cells with ketones, boosting their cancer-fighting stamina
Reducing calorie intake helps cancer-fighting immune cells do their jobs more effectively, reports a study by Van Andel Institute scientists and collaborators. The findings lay the groundwork for developing dietary strategies ...
Phys.org / New nanomagnet production process improves efficiency and cuts costs
Researchers at HZDR have partnered with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics in the Polish Academy of Sciences to develop a method that facilitates the manufacture ...
Phys.org / Limitations of AI-based material prediction: Crystallographic disorder represents a stumbling block
Computer simulations and artificial intelligence often make significant errors when predicting the properties of new, high-performance materials, according to a new international study led by the University of Bayreuth. In ...
Medical Xpress / Blinking less may mean brain is working harder, study shows
Blinking is a human reflex most often performed without thinking, like breathing. Although research on blinking is usually related to vision, a new Concordia study examines how blinking is connected to cognitive function, ...
Medical Xpress / Human 'mini-noses' help explain why RSV infections are more severe in children than in adults
An infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) typically affects infants much harder than adults. While adults usually experience RSV as a mild cold, infants can develop more severe conditions, including life-threatening ...
Phys.org / Mini-vortices in nanopores accelerate ion transport for faster supercapacitor charging
Tiny cavities in energy storage devices form small vortices that help with charging, according to a research team led by TU Darmstadt. This previously unknown phenomenon could advance the development of faster storage devices.
Phys.org / Connections between coral reefs boost their health
Coral reefs may seem like paradise, but they are being degraded by a range of global and local factors, including climate change, poor water quality, and overfishing. New research reveals that connections between reefs help ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers detect early brain changes linked to future psychosis development
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and NHG Health's Institute of Mental Health (IMH) have mapped how brain networks differ in individuals at Clinical High ...
