Trials of a new cholesterol-lowering pill have shown promising results for people with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), a genetic disorder that leads to high levels of LDL cholesterol.
Phys.org / Bright squeezed vacuum reveals hidden quantum effects in strong-field physics
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.
Tech Xplore / Data centers' insatiable demand for electricity is changing the entire energy sector, say researchers
When the first large language models were unleashed, it triggered a headache for authorities around the world as they tried to figure out how to satisfy data centers' endless demand for electricity.
Phys.org / Climate change is now warming the deepest parts of the Arctic Ocean
While it is well known that climate change is heating the world's oceans, it was thought that the deep sea was safe from its effects—until now. Researchers have discovered that a rapidly warming part of the Atlantic is ...
Phys.org / The simulated Milky Way: 100 billion stars using 7 million CPU cores
Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was accomplished by combining ...
Medical Xpress / Redheads face impaired wound healing: MC1R dysregulation to blame, but a new treatment might help
Chronic wounds (CWs), like diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, are a major health care challenge, especially in the elderly. These wounds, marked by persistent inflammation, often lead to infection and poor patient outcomes. ...
