Phys.org / Deformable adjuvants can enhance immune activation in new vaccine design
Conventional vaccine adjuvants primarily rely on molecular binding and biochemical stimulation to activate immune responses, which often leads to limited efficacy in elderly or low-responsive populations. How to introduce ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring mitochondria shows promise for treating chronic nerve pain
For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because their energy factories known as mitochondria don't function properly.
Phys.org / How light reflects on leaves may help researchers identify dying forests
Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased flora, especially in areas prone to wildfires. Obtaining a reliable measure of whole-ecosystem health ...
Tech Xplore / Self-driving cars could prevent over 1 million road injuries across the US by 2035
Autonomous vehicles could dramatically reduce traffic accidents and injuries on U.S. roads. Drawing on historical data and current trends, a recent JAMA Surgery study projected that self-driving cars could prevent more than ...
Tech Xplore / The hidden carbon footprint of wearable health care
University of Chicago and Cornell University researchers analyzed wearable health care electronics and reported carbon impacts of 1.1–6.1 kg CO2-equivalent per device. With global device consumption projected to rise 42-fold ...
Medical Xpress / First map of nerve circuitry in bone helps physicians identify key signals for bone repair
When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something that could fight the fire ...
Phys.org / A new way to view shockwaves could boost fusion research
At the heart of our sun, fusion is unfolding. As hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, they emit energy, producing the heat and light that reach us here on Earth. Inspired by our nearby star, researchers want to create fusion ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed solar panel offers color tuning and transparency for flexible surfaces
A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the researchers can fine-tune ...
Phys.org / Ultrasonic sensor capable enables cuffless, non-invasive blood pressure measurement
A new technology has been developed that enables cuffless noninvasive blood pressure monitoring by using ultrasonic to track real-time changes in vascular diameter—without the need for a traditional cuff. The technology ...
Phys.org / What does 'everyday' peace look like? Mapping how people think about peacebuilding
A new study led by Yale anthropologist Catherine Panter-Brick examines how stakeholders in socially diverse, conflict-affected societies conceptualize everyday peace, drawing on a comparative analysis across different groups ...
Tech Xplore / Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently, no platinum required
A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny particles of electrically conductive ...
Medical Xpress / Facial expressions decoded: Brain regions work together in surprising new ways
When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part of the back-and-forth that allows us to understand each other's emotions and mental states.
