Phys.org / Eco-friendly hair repair adds to more natural personal care product pipeline
Hair damaged by dyes, bleaching or harsh sunlight has just got special treatment. Green chemistry researchers at Flinders University are experimenting with plant-based oils to develop a promising new structural keratin-type ...
Phys.org / How graphene oxide kills bacteria while sparing human cells
Hygiene in everyday items that touch the body—such as clothing, masks, and toothbrushes—is critically important. The underlying principle of how graphene selectively eliminates only bacteria has now been revealed. In Advanced ...
Phys.org / Binding to RNA is not enough—changing its shape is what makes a drug work, study reveals
Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting target for drug designers. ...
Medical Xpress / Rethinking brain-like artificial intelligence: New study reveals hidden mismatches
A new study by York University researchers has found a potential striking flaw in artificial intelligence (AI) models. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), a type of AI model built to solve vision tasks for computers, have ...
Medical Xpress / Babies may share mini stories with their parents before they can talk
New research suggests that babies take part in simple, story-like interactions with their parents long before they learn words, helping to build emotional connection and early social skills. The "Narrative Development in ...
Tech Xplore / New lithium-ion battery design could power longer-lasting electric vehicles and portable devices
A new battery design that could significantly extend the range of electric vehicles and the lifespan of portable electronics has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology Institute (ATI). ...
Phys.org / Seals use whisker movement to follow underwater trails—an approach that could improve robotic sensing
Seals are carnivorous marine mammals that are well adapted to hunting for fish underwater, where visibility is poor. In such conditions, seals rely on their highly sensitive whiskers to detect tiny water movements left behind ...
Phys.org / Black hole mergers test the limits of general relativity
General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from rotational frame dragging ...
Phys.org / How internal waves transport energy thousands of miles across the ocean
Both winds and tides inject energy into the ocean. Much of that energy is then transported up to thousands of miles by internal waves: large-scale underwater waves that can travel between ocean basins. Quantifying the amount ...
Phys.org / In wrangling dark matter, some scientists find inspiration in the Torah, Krishna and Christ
When an invisible entity making up 85% of the universe's mass stumps the greatest scientific minds of our time, awe is an understandable response.
Medical Xpress / New analysis shows rising attrition in every radiology subspecialty, 2014–2022
A new study from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute found that attrition (i.e., exit) from the radiology workforce increased for all subspecialties, but with varying magnitude. The study, published in the American ...
Medical Xpress / After allogeneic transplant, VIC-1911 regimen shows low severe GVHD and no relapse
Results of a Phase I clinical trial show that patients who undergo a blood stem cell transplant involving a donor have a lower risk of relapse and lower rates of graft-versus-host disease when they receive the targeted therapy ...
