Medical Xpress / Call for dentists to reduce unnecessary nitrous oxide use
Nitrous oxide used for sedating patients during dental appointments has a significant environmental impact, with wide variation in use and wastage across the UK, according to a new study by UCL (University College London) ...
Phys.org / Coral proxy data reveals century-long slowdown of South China Sea throughflow under global warming
The South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) serves as a critical oceanic conveyor belt for heat and freshwater, mediating water exchanges between the South China Sea (SCS) and the Pacific and Indian oceans while regulating key ...
Medical Xpress / More sensitive HIT cell therapy shows promise against solid cancers
CAR T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of many blood cancers, but has shown little success against solid tumors, which account for over 85% of all cancers. Columbia researchers have now found that a new type ...
Medical Xpress / The new food pyramid—where protein fits on your plate
Has the U.S. Department of Agriculture flipped everything you thought you knew about nutrition on its head? At first glance, the newly released dietary guidelines featuring a new food pyramid may seem like a protein-first ...
Tech Xplore / Protecting perovskite solar cells against environmental influences with light-switchable molecules
A team from the University of Stuttgart, together with international researchers, has succeeded in enhancing both the efficiency and environmental resilience of perovskite solar cells. This is another important step toward ...
Tech Xplore / Rechargeable Mg-O₂ battery uses metal-free nanoporous graphene cathode
Large-capacity rechargeable batteries capable of sustaining repeated charge-discharge cycles are expected to become core technologies for electric vehicles and other elements of an electrified society. However, current systems ...
Medical Xpress / New atlas maps how aging reshapes cells across the entire mammalian body
As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Scientists have long focused on fighting these conditions one at a time. Recently, however, many have ...
Phys.org / Ancient diets reveal surprising survival strategies in prehistoric Poland
An international team of archaeologists and scientists has reconstructed the diets of prehistoric communities from north-central Poland, shedding new light on how people adapted to changing environments and shifting social ...
Phys.org / How RNA binding selectivity arises from disordered regions
RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA (mRNA) while leaving others alone. This finding could contribute to the rational design of drugs that ...
Phys.org / Drone LiDAR surveys of abandoned roads reveal long-term debris-flow hazards
A research team led by University of Tsukuba has developed a new method to estimate long-term debris supply from steep slopes by measuring debris accumulated on decades-old abandoned roads. Debris supplied by rockfall and ...
Phys.org / Endangered giant clam feeding strategies could determine species' future survival
Giant clams (Tridacna gigas), members of the family Tridacnidae and among the most striking inhabitants of tropical coral reefs, are being driven toward extinction. Over-harvesting for jewelry, the aquarium trade, and food, ...
Phys.org / Smart materials and drug delivery could exploit lipid molecules that reorganize at drying interfaces
Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganize themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. This new discovery from Lund ...
