Phys.org / Nanomace catalyst boosts greenhouse gas breakdown up to 14.4-fold
Seoul National University (SNU) College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Jeong Woo Han of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new nanostructured catalyst with ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover two new ways doxycycline disables bacterial ribosomes
Scientists have discovered two new mechanisms for how a well-established antibiotic works, paving the way for the potential development of new antibiotic treatments.
Phys.org / DNA studies uncover a forgotten population at the top of the world
Scientists have uncovered an ancient population previously unknown to science in Ladakh, a high-altitude region in northern India. Their studies revealed individuals with a nearly perfect 50–50 mix of South Asian-related ...
Phys.org / Single molecule becomes quantum sensor for imaging proteins at nanoscale
A new quantum sensing technique could enable measurements of single protein structures and other important molecules, with potential applications in drug discovery and structural biology. A research team from the Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Cumulative fatigue emerges as top predictor of women's soccer injuries
An international team of researchers led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and the University of Bonn—with participation from the Barça Innovation Hub (BIHUB), FC Barcelona's medical department and the ...
Phys.org / California drought may have pushed parts of the Sacramento Valley aquifer toward permanent collapse
Around a quarter of the U.S. food supply is grown in California's Central Valley. Most of its crops, like rice, fruit trees and nut trees, are water-intensive and require extensive groundwater pumping during droughts. Over ...
Medical Xpress / Hepatitis E: The underestimated risk in liver cirrhosis
Infections with the hepatitis E virus (HEV) are the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. In healthy people, they usually resolve without the person even noticing. For people with preexisting liver damage, ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted school closures can improve pandemic response
New research led by UMC Utrecht shows that school closures during a pandemic outbreak are most effective when carefully targeted. The study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates that the right strategy depends ...
Phys.org / Scientists demonstrate transition between strong and weak coupling regimes in a polariton microcavity
Researchers from Skoltech, together with colleagues from the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry and Westlake University, have experimentally demonstrated how the operating regime of a polariton laser changes with ...
Phys.org / Plant-derived lignin could guide bone repair by forming bone-like minerals
A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath Palakurthy and Professor Rivka ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI is capable of flexible planning and problem-solving while using far less energy
The capabilities of large AI systems are constantly improving, but they consume a great deal of energy during training and operation. The human brain, by contrast, is extremely energy-efficient: It requires only around 20 ...
Medical Xpress / Trial shows importance of integrated early-life interventions to improve growth in babies born too small
A randomized clinical trial conducted in India by Indian and Norwegian researchers demonstrates that an integrated intervention package improves growth and neurodevelopment in babies born small for gestational age (SGA). ...
