Phys.org / 58 tortillas, five hot sauces and one toilet: life aboard spacecraft Orion
They're sipping smoothies, snapping phone pics, dealing with crashed email and fixing broken toilets: astronauts, they're just like us.
Medical Xpress / Vapes replace cigarettes as the top nicotine threat to young children
While cigarette exposures are decreasing for young children, electronic nicotine products are putting toddlers at new risk of inhalation, according to Rutgers Health researchers. Their study, published in JAMA Network Open, ...
Phys.org / Atomic distortions reveal new clues about superconductivity
A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a promising class of nickel-based materials, offering new insight into how next-generation superconductors ...
Medical Xpress / Irregular bedtime linked to higher risk of cardiac events
An irregular bedtime in midlife may signal an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study from the University of Oulu suggests that large swings in when people go to bed could double the risk of serious cardiac ...
Phys.org / Dalí's 'sublime' amber medium may explain unusual aging in a museum masterpiece
As part of the FED-tWIN Face-to-Face project, a multidisciplinary team bringing together the European Centre of Archaeometry (University of Liège, ULiège), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (RMFAB), CNRS-Sorbonne ...
Medical Xpress / How calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development in childhood epilepsy
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to epilepsy and related cognitive ...
Phys.org / Platform for precise cellular control uses non-genetic DNA decoupled from genetic information
Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active field agent within cells. This research by a team led by Professor Jongmin Kim and Ph.D. candidate ...
Medical Xpress / Spinal cord stimulator stays rigid for surgery, then softens inside the body
What if chronic diseases, which are difficult to treat with medicine alone, could be managed with electricity? As "neuromodulation"—a technology that restores bodily balance by sending signals directly to nerves—gains attention, ...
Phys.org / Graphene 'scaffold' recruits bone cells and helps the body regenerate fractures
Experiments conducted in Brazil using laboratory rats have shown that graphene-based structures can act as a powerful ally in bone regeneration. These structures are made of sheets of the chemical element carbon that are ...
Phys.org / Artemis II to test new models that predict solar particle storms up to a day ahead
During the Artemis II mission launched Wednesday, NASA will test out a pair of new solar radiation forecasts, developed at University of Michigan Engineering, designed to protect astronauts venturing away from Earth. The ...
Dialog / New 2D material demonstrates capability for ultrathin waveplates
Polarization has always been a core property of light that is essential for a broad range of everyday applications, including displays (LED, LCD, 3D Cinematics), photography, as well as satellite and antenna technologies. ...
Phys.org / Embryo-like fossils from Southern China offer new clues about ancient life
Some of the most ancient fossils collected to date were traced back to the Ediacaran period. This is the time interval ranging from around 635 to 541 million years ago, shortly before the time when scientists predict that ...
