Medical Xpress / Our genes may shape what we eat and our metabolic health
Ever wonder why some people crave sweets while others can take them or leave them? Preliminary findings from a new study suggest that people who carry certain genetic variants associated with a preference for sweet or fatty ...
Phys.org / Low-cost, rare-earth-free material for carbon recycling
To improve carbon recycling and reduce emissions, researchers at Science Tokyo developed iron-substituted calcium titanate (Fe-doped CaTiO3) as an environmentally friendly support material for chemical looping, a process ...
Phys.org / Extragalactic positron-annihilation hotspots might mean Milky Way produces far more positrons than thought
Positrons—the antimatter counterpart of electrons—are created in high-energy cosmic processes. When normal matter meets its antimatter counterpart, they annihilate, or vanish, and produce a distinctive 511 keV gamma-ray signal. ...
Tech Xplore / Large-scale crystals could revolutionize future OLED displays
Since the first practical organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was developed in 1987 by Ching W. Tang and Steven A. VanSlyke at Eastman Kodak Company in the U.S., OLED technology has come a long way. The original device used ...
Medical Xpress / Vaccine mis‑ and disinformation aren't just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy
A previously eliminated disease—measles—is resurgent in Canada amid declining vaccination rates
Medical Xpress / Dementia affecting younger persons strikes Hispanics more than previously thought, study shows
A form of dementia that strikes younger people is more common in Hispanics than previously thought, according to a new study led by researchers at UT Health San Antonio, the academic health center of The University of Texas ...
Phys.org / Tropical species near thermal limits as global warming compresses safety margins
With global warming and extreme weather intensifying, can animals raise their thermal tolerance to cope with a continuously warming environment? A joint research project by the Division of Science at Lingnan University and ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Training the next generation of coastal scientists
Burying underwear in soil isn't a typical science lesson. But for students on Hornby Island, it's one way they can learn how seaweed supports local ecosystems.
Phys.org / Border crossings shut as heavy snow coats Argentine Andes
Heavy snowfall in the Argentine Andes has forced more than 100 people to evacuate and stalled almost 1,000 trucks on snow-covered roads, while flights were rerouted Monday.
Phys.org / Physicists capture first direct evidence of a Floquet topological state
A new study published in Nature Physics reports the first direct experimental evidence of a Floquet topological state, a novel light-induced phase of matter that, until now, has existed only on paper and in simulations. Topological ...
Phys.org / How international aid fragmentation affects corruption in developing countries
An SKKU research team led by Professor Travers B. Child of the SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) has become the first in the world to use micro-level data to demonstrate that aid fragmentation—the phenomenon in which ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists decipher how T cells sense enemies—such as cancer—at point of contact
Every encounter between a T cell and a potential target—especially when that target is a developing tumor—begins with a rapid series of molecular decisions. Within seconds, the immune cell must determine whether to launch ...
