Medical Xpress / New therapy eliminates gum disease bacterium while preserving beneficial oral microbes
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have created an innovative treatment for periodontitis that targets and eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial oral microbes essential for health. The findings were ...
Phys.org / Simulations hint at a hidden population of companionless black holes
So far, almost all stellar-mass black holes detected by astronomers have been found in binary systems. However, astronomers have long suspected that these binary black holes are the exception and that, within the Milky Way, ...
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Greater intentions to take hypertension medication, fewer intentions to change lifestyle
Having high blood pressure is associated with greater intentions to follow doctors' recommendations to take medication but lower intentions to make recommended lifestyle changes than among people without high blood pressure, ...
Phys.org / Your next handbag could start with mushrooms
The search for leather alternatives has led researchers somewhere unexpected: fungi. Although traditional leather is durable, producing it requires animal agriculture, which carries negative environmental impacts. Meanwhile, ...
Tech Xplore / Paste-and-laser strategy helps TOPCon solar cells reach 26.31% certified efficiency
Improving the efficiency of solar cells is key to reducing the cost of solar power. Now, scientists have developed a new synergistic metallization strategy for tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells. The approach ...
Medical Xpress / Rare bone disease often goes untreated while patients quietly live with chronic pain
Teeth and bones are among the hardest structures in the human body, but certain inherited conditions can rob them of that strength. One of them is hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare, lifelong genetic bone disorder that disrupts ...
Phys.org / We might soon have the technology to reach other star systems
The recent confirmation of an atmosphere around a rocky exoplanet called LHS 1140b has created a wave of interest within the astronomy community. The planet orbits within the habitable zone around its parent star—a red dwarf ...
Phys.org / How simple amber lights could make nights safer for insects
Approximately 40% of insect species worldwide are thought to be in decline and under threat of extinction. Among the key causes are habitat loss, pollution and climate change. Another threat is artificial light from sources ...
Medical Xpress / Bacterial supplements may boost female fertility
As women get older, their uterine environment changes. This includes a decrease in a beneficial bacterium called Lactobacillus gasseri, which may make conception—whether natural or via in vitro fertilization—difficult. In ...
Medical Xpress / Medicaid work rule leaves homeless people in the cold
In the spring, the federal government finalized regulations requiring millions of people who receive Medicaid benefits to prove they're working, volunteering or going to school to keep their coverage.
Phys.org / New quantum encryption method prevents ciphertext from being cloned
Digital security currently relies on difficult equations to protect data. For example, when you use a credit card online, the information is locked inside a math problem that would take a modern computer thousands of years ...
