Medical Xpress / Experimental microneedle painkiller patch for pigs shows proof of concept
An experimental pain-relieving drug delivery method for farm animals using microneedle patches may not have delivered an effective dose, but it took a pivotal step that offers new leads for innovation.
Phys.org / Synthetic key enzyme enables the conversion of CO₂ into formic acid
For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a promising candidate as it ...
Phys.org / Room-temperature electron behavior defies expectations, hinting at ultra-efficient electronics
Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a finding that could revolutionize superconductivity and reshape energy preservation and generation.
Phys.org / New way to track toxic algae that threaten shellfish industries developed by researchers
Tiny organisms called algae can have an outsized impact on working waterfronts. While many benefit their ecosystems, others can cause devastating economic and ecological effects.
Phys.org / Integrative quantum chemistry method unlocks secrets of advanced materials
A new computational approach developed at the University of Chicago promises to shed light on some of the world's most puzzling materials—from high-temperature superconductors to solar cell semiconductors—by uniting two ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves oral Nuzolvence and Blujepa for treating uncomplicated gonorrhea
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved two new oral medicines to treat the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea.
Tech Xplore / 'Easiest scam in the world': Musicians sound alarm over AI impersonators
Does the latest track by your favorite singer sound slightly off? You may be right. Fraudulent AI-generated tracks are increasingly appearing in artists' own profiles on streaming platforms, presented as their original work.
Phys.org / Engineered material uses light to destroy PFAS and other contaminants in water
Materials scientists at Rice University and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a range of pollutants in water, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the "forever chemicals" ...
Phys.org / A hormone can access the brain by 'hitchhiking' on extracellular vesicles, researchers discover
Researchers at Touro University Nevada have discovered that tiny particles in the blood, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), are a major player in how a group of hormones are shuttled through the body. Physical exercise ...
Medical Xpress / Structure of dopamine-releasing neurons relates to the type of circuits they form for smell-processing, study finds
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.
Medical Xpress / Soil bacteria and fungi emerge as top predictors of childhood allergic disease
The unique blend of fungi and bacteria in a region's soil may be the strongest factor explaining its rates of childhood allergic disease, with certain assemblages of soil critters appearing linked with better health outcomes, ...
Tech Xplore / How brain-inspired algorithms could drive down AI energy costs
