Medical Xpress / Researchers discover potential therapeutic target for degenerative eye disease
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have discovered the source of dysfunction in the process whereby cells in the eye's retina remove waste.
Phys.org / New clam species discovered in South Africa's kelp forest
A new study sheds light on the unexplored diversity of galeommatoidean bivalves, a little-known group of marine mollusks, from the western coast of South Africa.
Phys.org / Raman spectroscopy offers new insights into ionic liquid acidity
Researchers at the University of Liège have for the first time determined the acidity of ionic liquids using Raman spectroscopy, thanks to Hammett acidity functions. This advance promises to revolutionize our understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Higher CEO pay in large health care systems linked to hospital consolidations, study suggests
A study from Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy reveals that CEO salaries for nonprofit hospitals and health care systems increased significantly from 2012 to 2019. The study, "The Determinants of Nonprofit ...
Phys.org / New interaction network in endocytosis process discovered
AP180 is a protein involved in endocytosis and in signal transmission between nerve cells. This protein, which largely lacks a three-dimensional structure, has never been fully studied.
Phys.org / Communicating numbers boosts trust in climate change science, research suggests
The intuition to distill hard numbers like "90 percent" into words like "almost all" may help make science and statistics more accessible, but new research shows that isn't necessarily the best way to engage people online.
Phys.org / New understanding of fly behavior has potential application in robotics, public safety
Why do flies buzz around in circles when the air is still? And why does it matter? In a paper published in Current Biology, University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor Floris van Breugel and Postdoctoral Researcher S. ...
Phys.org / Invasive, blood-sucking fish 'may hold the key to understanding where we came from,' say biologists
One of just two vertebrates without a jaw, sea lampreys that are wreaking havoc in Midwestern fisheries are simultaneously helping scientists understand the origins of two important stem cells that drove the evolution of ...
Phys.org / Increased demand for metals and minerals needed for clean energy transition puts 4,000+ species at risk, finds study
New research has found that 4,642 species of vertebrates are threatened by mineral extraction around the world through mining and quarrying, and drilling for oil and gas.
Medical Xpress / Building bridges between cells for brain health: Research finds microglia rescue neurons through tunneling nanotubes
The brain contains many cell types, from the prominent neurons to the lesser-known microglia. The latter are integral to the brain's immune system and play a crucial role as the brain's cleanup crew. A recent study conducted ...
Tech Xplore / Experts warn against hype for deriving green hydrogen from direct seawater electrolysis
At first glance, the plan sounds compelling: invent and develop future electrolyzers capable of producing hydrogen directly from unpurified seawater. But a closer look reveals that such direct seawater electrolyzers would ...
Phys.org / New method for 3D quantitative phase imaging eliminates need for digital phase recovery algorithms
A study from the University of California, Los Angeles, published in Advanced Photonics introduces a cutting-edge approach to 3D Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) using a wavelength-multiplexed diffractive optical processor.
