Medical Xpress / Fridge-free tetanus-diphtheria vaccine shows promise of reaching millions worldwide
The encouraging results of the world's first trial of a fridge-free tetanus-diphtheria vaccine could improve access worldwide to crucial treatments while reducing carbon emissions. Fridge-free vaccines have the potential ...
Tech Xplore / A new way to watch heat move through electronics
The same overheating problem that happens to our laptops also plagues computer servers and data centers around the world—and heat management is only getting harder as computer chips get more compact and powerful.
Tech Xplore / Silver-containing zeolite offers new route for separating fusion fuel isotopes
Fusion power plants of the future will not only require extremely hot plasmas and strong magnetic fields but also a fuel cycle in which the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium can be recovered, separated and reused. Together ...
Phys.org / First metabolically activated molecular glue degrader may target cancer cells under oxidative stress
Investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a platform for systematically discovering molecular glues that could become protein degradation drug candidates. The platform could help drug developers dramatically ...
Phys.org / Random physics helps model individual ant motion
Ants make up one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, with many species boasting remarkable physical abilities and social behaviors, and an overall species richness that far exceeds that of mammals. Various ...
Phys.org / Earthquake sensors can help forecast how hurricanes intensify
Stanford researchers have shown that instruments primarily used to understand earthquakes can capture key details about hurricanes, helping meteorologists better predict how storms will evolve and intensify.
Medical Xpress / ChatGPT can generate personality tests and predict people's responses before they take them
In iScience, scientists outline how they developed a method for generating personality assessment questionnaires with ChatGPT from any source text. To test the method, they applied it to both the DSM-5 and, as a deliberately ...
Phys.org / A 21-hour dip could help explain Tabby's star's decade-long dimming mystery
Since 2016, an ordinary-looking F-type star called KIC 8462852, nicknamed Tabby's star, has behaved anything but ordinarily. In a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on July 6, researchers ...
Phys.org / New models shed light on how an exotic phase of hydrogen in Earth's core may behave
While Earth's core consists mostly of iron, its density implies that lighter elements are also mixed in. Because hydrogen is abundant in the universe and can mix with iron under certain conditions, scientists suspect it makes ...
Medical Xpress / Why the same antibiotic can cure one infection but fail in another
A group of researchers has uncovered why one common antibiotic works for urinary tract infections but often fails elsewhere, offering greater insight into how the body's own chemistry can determine whether antibiotics succeed ...
Phys.org / Light-activated nanoparticles could help surgeons find and destroy brain cancer remnants
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of brain cancer. It's difficult to treat because tumor cells infiltrate the surrounding brain tissue, making it hard for surgeons to remove the cancer completely without damaging healthy ...
Phys.org / New semiconductor maser operates continuously above room temperature
Lasers have become indispensable in everyday life and research, with applications ranging from data transmission and metrology to manufacturing. Masers, by contrast, have so far found hardly any practical applications.
