Medical Xpress / New philosophical framework reframes moral distress in health care
Nurses and physicians often recognize what kind of care a patient deserves at a given moment, whether it is more time at the bedside, a change in pain management or a detailed conversation about the goals of a specific treatment. ...
Dialog / Beyond the gold standard: An ultrathin chromium layer makes durable perovskite solar cells more affordable
Gold has been the safe choice for perovskite solar cells. We found a way to stop needing it.
Phys.org / Mirror-image molecules steer electron spins and lift perovskite solar cell efficiency
Some molecules come in two "handed" forms. This property, called chirality, can influence not only how molecules interact with light but also which electron spins they allow to pass. Researchers at the University of Osaka ...
Medical Xpress / No benefit of heart CT scan in patients with acute chest pain, trial finds
Coronary CT angiography (CTCA) scans do not reduce the risk of heart attacks or cardiac death over three years in patients with acute chest pain whose heart attacks have been excluded, according to the results of a trial ...
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions and warming climate disrupt long-standing link between Indian and Pacific oceans
A new study that combines paleoclimate data and climate models suggests that large volcanic eruptions can disrupt the relationship between atmospheric circulation patterns over the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans. In addition, ...
Phys.org / Tiny oxygen gaps may determine whether next-generation memory films store data well
Researchers have captured in real time the "birth moment" when the performance of a next-generation memory material is determined. The key lies in controlling oxygen vacancies, microscopic defects created when oxygen atoms ...
Tech Xplore / Nanoscale transistors achieve lower contact resistance with stepwise evaporation method
Metals, semiconductors and insulators are fundamental components of modern electronics. However, efforts to improve device performance have largely focused on semiconductor quality, while metal crystallinity has received ...
Tech Xplore / AI doesn't just play better chess—it manages complexity differently
For decades, chess has served as a laboratory for studying intelligence and decision-making. It is well established that today's chess engines can outperform even the strongest grandmasters. But far less is understood about ...
Tech Xplore / Vertical microrods boost electricity generation from evaporation by accelerating ion flow
Evaporation, the process by which water becomes vapor and disperses into the environment, draws heat from its surroundings. This heat, also known as atmospheric thermal energy, is abundant but diffuse, making it difficult ...
Medical Xpress / New mRNA immunotherapy eliminates pancreatic tumors in mice
Inspired by the work of the RNA Therapeutics Institute at UMass Chan Medical School and the development of the COVID vaccine, Marcus Ruscetti, Ph.D., and Chaitanya Naimesh Parikh, Ph.D. '26, have developed an immunotherapy ...
Phys.org / The superconducting gap of an ultrathin nickelate defies expectations
Superconductors are materials that carry electrical current with zero resistance below a specific critical temperature. In conventional superconductors, the transition to superconductivity generally occurs at very low temperatures.
Phys.org / Marker words suggest sharp rise in AI-assisted biomedical writing after ChatGPT
Up until two years ago, using large language models was still considered a special skill that everyone was encouraged to learn. Now, it is ubiquitous, especially in writing research papers that eventually become part of the ...
