Tech Xplore / Shape memory polymers with nanotips help solve micro-LED chip transfer problem
A research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), has developed a novel dry adhesive technology that allows everything from microscale electronic components to common household materials to be easily ...
Medical Xpress / Early birds get the burn: Early bedtimes are associated with more physical activity
Going to bed earlier than usual may help to optimize physical activity the following day, Monash University-led research has found. Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the study examined whether ...
Medical Xpress / Low-intensity brain stimulation may restore neuron health in Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that are malleable to change ...
Phys.org / Switching on a silent gene revives tissue regeneration in mice
Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant gene enables mice to regenerate ear tissue.
Phys.org / Genomes reveal the Norwegian lemming as one of the most recently evolved mammal species
Using whole genome sequencing and cutting‐edge analyses, researchers at Stockholm University have uncovered the surprising evolutionary history of the Norwegian lemming (Lemmus lemmus), revealing it to be one of the most ...
Phys.org / Southern Ocean saltier, hotter and losing ice fast as decades-long trend unexpectedly reverses
Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline.
Medical Xpress / Genetic ancestry linked to risk of severe dengue
For the first time, the extreme variability in dengue fever has been linked to a biological mechanism, potentially opening doors to new treatments and vaccines for the most common mosquito-borne disease worldwide.
Phys.org / Common farm fungicide may be contributing to 'insect apocalypse'
A widely-used agricultural chemical sprayed on fruits and vegetables to prevent fungal disease is also killing beneficial insects that play a critical role in pollination and wider ecosystems.
Medical Xpress / Gut microbiota play pivotal role in disordered eating tied to repeated dieting, researchers find
For the first time, the gut microbiota has been shown to play a pivotal role in the risk of disordered eating behavior stemming from yo-yo dieting. Researchers conducted a preclinical study showing that repeated dieting leads ...
Phys.org / Tiny light-sensitive magnetic robots can clear up bacterial infections in sinuses
Tiny magnetic bots that are activated by light can clear bacterial infections deep in the sinus cavities, then be expelled by blowing out the nose.
Medical Xpress / Neuroscientists remain steadfastly uncertain about how the brain encodes memory
Researchers from Monash University, in collaboration with the European Biostasis Foundation and Apex Neuroscience, have revealed that although most neuroscientists agree that long-term memories depend primarily on neuronal ...
Phys.org / Innovative clip-off chemistry enables fast and precise production of complex molecules
Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and precise production of these molecules ...
