Phys.org / New museum find shows nature can't stop inventing seahorses
At first glance, it looks exactly like a seahorse. It has the same horse-shaped head tilted down from the body, the same curled, grasping tail and, in the males, a fully enclosed pouch for brooding the young.
Medical Xpress / Trauma analysis finds brain injuries more common among e-scooter riders than motorcyclists
E-scooter riders in England and Wales may face a higher risk of brain and internal organ injuries than motorcyclists and cyclists, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. The authors recommend increasing e-scooter ...
Phys.org / Carbon nanostructure improves fuel-cell catalyst durability while reducing platinum use
The explosion of new data centers being proposed and built around the U.S. has increased demand for energy to keep them powered and cooled. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that data centers could consume up ...
Tech Xplore / Electrolyzer enables hydrogen and sustainable plastics production
Keele scientists have developed a new kind of electrolyzer that produces both hydrogen and the base materials for sustainable plastic production, opening avenues for a range of applications in green technology and sustainable ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover immune 'off switch' used by cancer cells
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that cancer cells use to shut down the body's immune response, a discovery that could help scientists develop new treatments that make cancer immunotherapies more effective.
Tech Xplore / Pagoda-inspired floors reduce tower sway while cutting material needs
Imperial and Arup pioneer a new approach to designing tall buildings that uses the building's own weight to reduce movement in high winds and earthquakes. Inspired by traditional Japanese pagodas, it makes towers safer while ...
Phys.org / Liquid nitrogen may have recently flowed across Pluto's heart-shaped glacier
A new study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) provides evidence that liquid nitrogen is rising to Pluto's surface through cracks at the northern edge of Sputnik Planitia, part of the massive heart-shaped glacier ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered human neurons rebuild damaged spinal cord circuits
Spinal cord injuries affect an estimated 15 to 20 million people worldwide, often causing lasting impairments in movement, sensation and independence. Such injuries can be especially devastating when they occur at the level ...
Medical Xpress / Expert shares practical tips for treating hair loss
Hair loss is often caused by a combination of heredity and aging, says Dr. Dawn Davis, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist. Treatments that may slow that type of hair loss and help regrow hair, including over-the-counter therapies ...
Phys.org / Molecular orbitals imaged in 3D, opening path to femtosecond videos
One of the most famous and intriguing results of quantum mechanics is the finding that fundamental particles, such as electrons, cannot be pinned down to one single location. Instead, a particle is described by its "wavefunction," ...
Tech Xplore / Europe readies for solar eclipse dip in power generation
European energy operators are braced for next week's solar eclipse, which is expected to cause a temporary dip in power generation, and have taken steps to keep electricity flowing to businesses and consumers, an industry ...
Phys.org / Backpack lab finds wastewater contamination and drug-resistant bacteria in Galápagos waters
From routine surgeries to cancer treatment, modern medicine depends on drugs that can fight infections caused by microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. But some microbes are becoming resistant to the drugs ...
