Medical Xpress / Unpaid caregivers shoulder more dementia costs than health systems in high-income Europe
Researchers found that 58% of total dementia-related costs are linked to unpaid care provided by family members, friends and other informal caregivers, highlighting the substantial burden of dementia beyond health care systems ...
Medical Xpress / Gold nanoparticle sensor measures early liver fibrosis marker from small blood samples
A research team led by Professor Jinsung Park of the Department of Biomechatronic Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), working jointly with Professor Pil-Soo Sung of the College of Medicine at the Catholic University ...
Phys.org / Quantum-gravitational mechanism could explain the universe's homogeneity
Our universe is known to be remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. This essentially means that matter is distributed evenly throughout the universe and that it looks almost the same in all directions.
Phys.org / Widespread misuse of crowd-control weapons by law enforcement at immigration enforcement protests
Law enforcement agents misused crowd-control weapons during protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations in 412 verified incidents across 16 U.S. cities from when immigration enforcement ...
Medical Xpress / Six medical societies call for immediate adoption of enhanced radiation protection in fluoroscopy labs
Health care professionals performing minimally invasive procedures in fluoroscopy laboratories, often called "cath labs," should no longer have to accept preventable radiation exposure and orthopedic injuries as part of their ...
Tech Xplore / NASA study points to smoother air taxi rides
No one wants to get into an uncomfortable aircraft. NASA research could help the emerging industry of air taxis—small, vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft meant for short trips—understand the relationship between comfort ...
Phys.org / Hidden fifth dimension could tune dark matter resonance, new theory proposes
The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be "in tune" with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new University of Sheffield theory aiming to shed light on one of science's biggest enigmas: ...
Phys.org / Weather it together: Farmers speaking up about mental health
Rain or shine, Aussie farmers and farming communities have always looked out for one another. But when it comes to their own mental health, asking for help hasn't always come easily.
Phys.org / What one of Emperor Hadrian's latrines is telling us about the durability of Roman concrete
One of the many marvels of the Roman world is that some of its buildings are still with us. But why have they lasted for so long when some relatively modern structures are in a state of decay after a few decades?
Dialog / Dark energy flips its sign, but the Hubble tension refuses to budge
For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. In the late 1990s, two independent teams, the Supernova Cosmology Project, led by Saul Perlmutter, and the High-Z Supernova Search Team, led by ...
Phys.org / Capturing the cosmic 'drift' before a star is born
Stars like our sun are formed from the collapse of stellar objects called prestellar cores, cold and dense concentrations of gas and dust held together by gravity. While many questions remain about the exact mechanisms of ...
Phys.org / New 3D thermal cloak hides objects from heat in any direction
Researchers have designed and built the first 3D device that can make objects invisible to heat, an advance that could transform how we protect sensitive electronics, manage heat in microchips and shield equipment from thermal ...
