Medical Xpress / New cellular target prevents hepatitis E infection
An international team of researchers has identified a promising new approach for treating infections with the Hepatitis E virus (HEV). At the center of the study is the drug Apilimod, which specifically blocks the entry of ...
Tech Xplore / Colored films enable patterns on photovoltaic modules
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have succeeded in creating colored films with transparent cutouts, thereby producing realistic-looking designs on photovoltaic modules. In this way, roof ...
Phys.org / Classical physics can explain quantum weirdness, study shows
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that same ball down to the size ...
Medical Xpress / 988 Hotline leads to fewer suicides among young people, study finds
A nationwide mental health hotline saved more lives than expected.
Dialog / Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely believed to consist of dark matter and dark energy. Paradoxically, however, the nature of these dark ...
Medical Xpress / Liver hormone regulates appetite and metabolism by targeting a specific group of hindbrain neurons
Researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center provide critical insight into how the brain and body work together to regulate food intake, energy use and metabolism, offering important new analysis into the biology ...
Medical Xpress / Novel tool more accurately predicts risk of Li-Fraumeni syndrome
In a prospective validation study, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have demonstrated that a new mathematical model called LFSPRO was effective in supporting genetic counselor decision-making ...
Phys.org / US climate sees decline in both hot and cold extreme temperatures since 1899, researchers claim
A comprehensive new study extending the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) record back to 1899 finds that both hot and cold temperature extremes across the contiguous United States have declined over the past 127 ...
Phys.org / These eight coastal cities sit on America's flood front line, and AI shows why
New York, New Orleans and Miami are among the eight cities along the US Gulf and Atlantic coasts facing the highest flood risk, according to a new study published in Science Advances. Scientists developed a new AI-driven ...
Phys.org / Why does life prefer one 'hand' over the other? New study points to electron spin
A team of scientists has identified a new physical mechanism that could help explain one of the most persistent mysteries in science: why life consistently uses one "handed" version of its molecules and not the other. In ...
Phys.org / Why groups slowly stop working well together, even when conditions are good
Humans are generally a cooperative bunch and most of us probably like to think of ourselves as reliable team players. Cooperation is useful for all sorts of reasons, from running a business and managing community resources ...
Phys.org / DESI completes planned 3D map of the universe and continues exploring
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has successfully completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever made, a major milestone in understanding the force driving cosmic expansion. The milestone ...
