Medical Xpress / A 3D-printed delivery system enhances vaccine delivery via microneedle array patch
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted an urgent need for efficient, durable, and widely accessible vaccines. This prompted several important innovations in vaccine technology, and researchers continue to explore new and creative ...
Phys.org / Three-way quantum correlations fade exponentially with distance at any temperature, study shows
The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN researcher has shown mathematically that, at non-zero temperatures, these connections can only exist over ...
Medical Xpress / California state court judges found to have gaps in their understanding of autism
A new study identifies significant gaps in judges' knowledge about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which can lead to inequities in how people with this disorder are treated in legal settings. The study recommends remedies ...
Phys.org / Compound in 500-million-year-old fossils sheds new light on Earth's carbon cycle
A UT San Antonio-led international research team has identified chitin, the primary organic component of modern crab shells and insect exoskeletons, in trilobite fossils more than 500 million years old, marking the first ...
Phys.org / 'Energy efficiency' proves key to how mountain birds adapt to changing environmental conditions
Research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) sheds new light on how mountain birds adapt to changes in climate. Scientists know that species diversity changes as you go up a mountain, but it is not clearly understood ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists now know why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly in the abdomen
Ovarian cancer kills more women than any other gynecological cancer. Most patients receive their diagnosis only after the disease spreads throughout the abdomen. Until now, scientists have never fully understood why this ...
Tech Xplore / Stabilized iron catalyst could replace platinum in hydrogen fuel cells
Japan and California have embraced hydrogen fuel-cell technologies, a form of renewable energy that can be used in vehicles and for supplying clean energy to manufacturing sectors. But the technology remains expensive due ...
Phys.org / New 3D method maps Paleolithic engravings at submillimeter resolution
A team of archaeologists from the Universitat Jaume I, the University of Barcelona, and the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA) has developed a new methodology that allows for a much more detailed, ...
Phys.org / Aerobic respiration began hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought, study suggests
Oxygen is a vital and constant presence on Earth today. But that hasn't always been the case. It wasn't until around 2.3 billion years ago that oxygen became a permanent fixture in the atmosphere, during a pivotal period ...
Phys.org / The surprising power of a tiny, disordered protein in a mitochondrial supercomplex
For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles that crank out adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal "energy currency" of cells—one of the ...
Phys.org / Study reveals microscopic origins of surface noise limiting diamond quantum sensors
A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the microscopic mechanisms by which diamond surfaces affect the quantum coherence of nitrogen-vacancy ...
Medical Xpress / Understanding the path from genetic changes to Parkinson's disease opens possibilities for early diagnosis
A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital has uncovered a chain of events that connects genetic alterations, disruptions ...
