Phys.org / Chemists design extra-sticky adhesives that degrade on command
A good adhesive is unequivocally sticky. A great adhesive is sticky until you don't want it to be sticky anymore—a label on cardboard until it's time to recycle it. Medical tape on a cut until the wound heals. A GWAR poster ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 treatment late in life extends lifespan in animal model
A study published in Nature has shown that the GLP-1 drug semaglutide extended the lifespan of older, healthy mice by tempering the detrimental effects of aging. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, directly ...
Phys.org / German cities reveal warmer nights in districts with more non-German residents
Urban heat adaptation will gain in importance as climate change progresses. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have analyzed how sociodemographic factors (nationality, age, and rent) correlate with ...
Medical Xpress / Level of education most strongly linked to survival after hip fracture
Level of education is the socioeconomic factor most strongly associated with survival rates after acute hip surgery. This is shown in a Linköping University study of 58,000 people. The results can be used to better identify ...
Medical Xpress / Berry compound reduces fat buildup in muscle cells, study finds
Ectopic lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle is a major health concern driven by factors like high-fat diets, lack of exercise and aging. Unlike subcutaneous fat, these intracellular lipid droplets interfere with normal ...
Phys.org / Young people often try to help in gun-related crises—but they need better tools
Nearly three-quarters of young people who witnessed or became aware of a firearm-related danger tried to help in some way, but many felt their efforts had little impact, according to researchers at Rutgers University, the ...
Phys.org / Wind damage can trigger years of forest vulnerability
Windstorms are among the most important natural disturbances in Northern Europe, where they cause extensive tree mortality, timber losses and long-lasting changes in forest structure. Large-scale windstorm damage has increased ...
Phys.org / New clustering method uncovers hidden regularities in data
One dataset, one model? This approach does not always produce the most useful insights, as a dataset often contains many different relationships. To better understand them, researchers at the Paluno Research Institute in ...
Medical Xpress / Expanding telehealth access calls for stronger physician support
Telehealth has transformed health care access, making it easier for millions of patients to connect with physicians without leaving home. New research from the University of Miami Business School finds that sustaining those ...
Medical Xpress / How wildfire smoke may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix have uncovered how wildfire smoke may trigger harmful inflammation in the brain, offering new insight into why prolonged smoke exposure has been associated with neurological ...
Phys.org / More than 120 molecular species found in giant cloud near Milky Way's center
Astronomers have discovered a second interstellar cloud near the center of the Milky Way that is extraordinarily rich in complex molecules, including several molecules associated with prebiotic chemistry. The newly studied ...
Phys.org / Peacock-like displays outpace antlers and tusks in evolutionary change, model suggests
Many animal species, ranging from peacocks and birds of paradise to some lizards, fish and beetles, display physical features or ornaments that can attract potential mates. These ornaments can include colorful plumage, elaborate ...
