Medical Xpress / Ketamine and psychotherapy show promise as a combined approach to chronic neuropathic pain
Combining ketamine and psychotherapy is a safe and feasible approach with promising benefits for people experiencing chronic neuropathic pain, according to a new study by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital, the University ...
Phys.org / Uniaxial strain reveals new way to tune electron flow in altermagnet material
Altermagnetism is a new, third type of magnetism of great interest for spin-transport applications like computer memory. If properly harnessed, it could combine the benefits of the two existing types of magnetism, ferromagnetism ...
Phys.org / Beyond the algorithm, online negativity takes on a life of its own as users try to stand out
It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that social media can trend toward the negative. But it might take one to figure out why. In a new paper in PNAS, professor of psychology Joshua Conrad Jackson and colleagues show ...
Phys.org / A magnetic path to lower-power computing
From smartphones to data centers, modern electronics rely on billions of tiny switches that consume electricity every time they turn on or off. As global demand for computing continues to grow, so does the energy required ...
Medical Xpress / Appetite-suppressing hormone may protect liver from inflammation through newly discovered signaling pathway
Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that a naturally occurring hormone best known for suppressing appetite and promoting weight loss also helps protect the liver from inflammation through a previously unknown ...
Tech Xplore / Simple robot design exceeds human hand in some core motions
The human hand is a dexterous and versatile machine. Scientists have conventionally tried to replicate these traits in robots by copying the biological mechanics of the hand, resulting in complex and difficult-to-control ...
Tech Xplore / Levitated spinning device could help navigation when GPS is unavailable
Researchers at the A*STAR Quantum Innovation Center (A*STAR Q.InC), part of the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) Flagship in Semiconductors, have developed a levitated, millimeter-scale rotor that continued spinning ...
Phys.org / Late Paleozoic Ice Age warming event hints at potential climate 'tipping point'
Researchers say a spike in temperatures during an ice age 304 million years ago could inform what climate scientists are learning about rapidly changing conditions today.
Medical Xpress / Two-stage process helps metastatic cancer cells hide, then multiply in the lungs
Most cancer deaths are caused not by the initial tumor but by the spread of cancer cells to distant organs in the process called metastasis. Since it occurs at the cellular level, the earliest stages of metastasis are difficult ...
Medical Xpress / A novel intervention to potentially improve the outcome of children with malnutrition
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered an intervention that could potentially improve outcomes for children with malnutrition, a condition that contributes to nearly half of ...
Medical Xpress / Winter is coming: How vaccines help protect against respiratory illness
August is National Immunization Awareness Month—the perfect time to prepare for the viruses and bacteria that spread each fall and winter.
Phys.org / Bones of medieval kings saved from Spanish wildfire
Firefighters raced to save a 1,000-year-old monastery in northeastern Spain on Friday as a growing wildfire prompted the hasty removal of the bones of medieval monarchs buried there.
