Phys.org / 3D-printed surfaces help atoms play ball to improve quantum sensors
Scientists have created 3D printed surfaces featuring intricate textures that can be used to bounce unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, allowing useful particles like atoms to be delivered more efficiently, ...
Phys.org / Study finds fisheries management—not predator recovery—drives catch levels in the North Sea
A new research study found that well-managed fisheries can support the recovery of large marine predators such as seals and porpoises, showing that conservation and sustainable seafood production can go hand in hand. While ...
Tech Xplore / Making blockchain fast enough for IoT networks
The vision of a fully connected world is rapidly becoming a reality through the Internet of Things (IoT)—a growing network of physical devices that collect and share data over the Internet, including everything from small ...
Phys.org / A shark's energy reserves are linked to how far it travels, suggests new study
For years, researchers have tagged sharks in the world's oceans to learn where they go, how they migrate and where they feed. While these tags have given us a wealth of data about their lives, many questions still remain. ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental CAR T therapy targets tumor's immune shield, not cancer cells directly
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an experimental immunotherapy that takes an unconventional approach to metastatic cancer: instead of going after cancer cells directly, it targets the ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular senescence linked to brain structure changes across lifespan
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain structure in both ...
Phys.org / Evidence of 'lightning-fast' evolution found after Chicxulub impact
The asteroid that struck the Earth 66 million years ago devastated life across the planet, wiping out the dinosaurs and other organisms in a hail of fire and catastrophic climate change. But new research shows that it also ...
Medical Xpress / Brain device for ADHD shows no benefit in major UK trial
Diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are rising rapidly in the U.K. More children and teenagers than ever are being referred for assessment and support, and families are often facing long waits and ...
Medical Xpress / Resurrected enzyme may unlock secrets of life's origins on Earth and beyond
Nitrogen, upon which all life on Earth depends, may hold the key for explaining how early life on the planet evolved and how it could evolve on other planets.
Medical Xpress / How will weight-loss jabs change the food industry?
Consumers are surrounded by food that is highly conducive to weight gain. No one likes dieting and very few have lasting success. But now weight-loss injections are seen as game changers, yielding results that seem miraculous ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts cancer metastasis risk using gene expression signatures
Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells remain largely unknown—yet understanding this is crucial for optimizing patient care.
Phys.org / Arctic blast to wallop N. America—is climate change to blame?
An unusually brutal winter storm is set to pummel more than 160 million Americans from Friday, as a stretched "polar vortex" sends a devastating blast of Arctic air, bringing heavy snows and freezing rains.
