Medical Xpress / New drug candidate shows promise in overcoming chemotherapy resistance in small cell lung cancer
A research team led by Prof. Liu Qingsong at the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new drug candidate that may help overcome ...
Medical Xpress / Crash victims are 70% less likely to be transferred between hospitals in no-fault states
Patients with severe injuries from car crashes are about 70% less likely to be transferred to another hospital in states with no-fault insurance laws than in states with more common at-fault policies, reports a new study ...
Medical Xpress / Those most at risk from heat have the least access to air conditioning, UK study finds
People who are most in danger during the U.K.'s heat wave are among the least likely to have air conditioning at home, researchers have found. With temperatures potentially rising to 40° C (104° F), scientists at the University ...
Phys.org / Inorganic nanoscale device behaves like a single neuron, opening doors for AI and retinal implants
McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand ...
Phys.org / Ultra-precise technology can count damaged DNA fragments
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace amounts of "Small Excised Damaged DNA (sedDNA)" fragments generated ...
Phys.org / Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutical drugs
It's one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It's another to know if and why it actually works; not on paper or in a computer model, but inside the chaotic world of living systems, where proteins twist into shape, atoms ...
Phys.org / What are supermassive black holes? Everything you need to know about these mysterious objects
Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for the galaxy they're found ...
Phys.org / Scientists find molecular-level evidence for two structures in liquid water
A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single uniform substance, but a constantly shifting mixture of two distinct microscopic structures.
Phys.org / Fossil fish tooth chemistry uncovers Southern Hemisphere role in Earth's ice age shift
To understand where Earth might be headed, it's important to know where it has been. Throughout its existence, especially over the past couple of million years, Earth has experienced periodic cold and warm intervals, known ...
Phys.org / New insight into how cells move copper out of the mitochondrial matrix could guide novel treatments
Copper is essential for life. Our cells need the metal to make energy and stay healthy, but if it is in the wrong place or present in excess, copper can be deadly. Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists have identified a ...
Phys.org / The universe should look the same in all directions at large scales, but DESI data suggest otherwise
Earlier this year, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed observations that mapped 47 million galaxies across 11 billion light-years, allowing astronomers to better evaluate the large-scale structure of ...
Tech Xplore / Ferroelectric memory enables one chip to sample randomness and compute for generative AI
For the first time, a research team has demonstrated an artificial intelligence semiconductor technology that integrates the core functions of generative AI into a single device platform based on ferroelectric memory. This ...
