Phys.org / New nanotube membranes reveal unusually fast lithium-ion transport
Researchers have developed a novel class of nanotube membranes that enable ultrafast ion transport. The findings open new pathways for high-efficiency clean energy generation, lithium recovery and molecular separation.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Intermittent fasting and chronic stress; macroscopic entanglement; gamma-ray bursts
Researchers reported this week a deadly outbreak of plague in Siberia 5,500 years ago, revealing that Yersinia pestis evolved lethal genetic traits far earlier than suspected. A drug developed for heart tissue repair may ...
Medical Xpress / Mass spectrometry platform could shrink cancer drug discovery cycle to four hours
Researchers at the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research (PICR) have developed a next-generation technology platform designed to accelerate one of the slowest and most challenging stages of cancer drug discovery: identifying ...
Phys.org / Faster aptamer screening finds synthetic alternatives to antibodies in days instead of months
Aptamers are short DNA or RNA strands that can recognize and bind to a specific target molecule with high precision. Similar to antibodies, they can be used to detect these molecules or modulate their activity. Unlike antibodies, ...
Phys.org / Novel generative AI model enables atomic-scale prediction of protein-protein interactions
Proteins are the molecular workhorses of the human body. They perform a vast range of essential functions, from building tissues and transporting molecules to regulating cellular communication and defending against infection. ...
Phys.org / Bat rays employ a chemical cue to warn others of danger
Frightened bat rays produce a chemical cue to warn other rays of danger, a well-known anti-predator strategy for bony fish that has not been documented in cartilaginous fish until now. Oregon State University researchers ...
Phys.org / Sonic booms from meteors can release the energy of hundreds of tons of TNT. Here's how they work
As humans, we live out our lives on a planet that is constantly sweeping through a cosmic ocean littered with ancient debris from the formation of the solar system. For the most part, our world glides silently through space, ...
Phys.org / AI-designed protein unlocks virus-like shells that could reshape vaccine and drug delivery
An international research team led by a Korean scientist has succeeded in designing large-scale protein structures that faithfully replicate the self-assembly principles found in naturally occurring viruses, using artificial ...
Phys.org / Eight ways to sleep well in hot weather
When temperatures rise, sleep often suffers. Hot nights can make it harder to fall asleep, increase waking during the night and leave people feeling less rested the next day.
Medical Xpress / Only a third of eligible breast cancer patients receive a gene expression test
A gene expression test can help prevent unnecessary chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, yet its use in the Netherlands remains limited. This is shown by new research from the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Centre (IKNL), ...
Phys.org / Sunday is the longest day of the year for half the planet. A guide to the summer solstice
This is the sun's time to shine: Sunday is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Phys.org / Ancient enamel just exposed a hidden human family entanglement that may still echo in your DNA
An analysis of ancient teeth is giving scientists a rare peek into interactions between human relatives hundreds of thousands of years ago that have left a lasting imprint on our species.
