Phys.org / Peppermint oil plasma coating could cut catheter infections without releasing drugs
Australian researchers have developed a high‑performance coating made from peppermint essential oil that can be applied to the surfaces of many commonly used medical devices, offering a safer way to protect patients from ...
Tech Xplore / Security concerns and skepticism are bursting the bubble of Moltbook, the viral AI social forum
You are not invited to join the latest social media platform that has the internet talking. In fact, no humans are, unless you can hijack the site and roleplay as AI, as some appear to be doing.
Medical Xpress / Premature aging may result from immune responses triggered by faulty DNA repair
DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that aid DNA in carrying out essential processes such as replication, repair, and transcription. Under ...
Medical Xpress / The 'hot flush gold rush': How women feel about being flooded with menopause marketing
Every person with functioning ovaries will eventually experience menopause. While the biology is relatively universal, the experience varies dramatically between individuals and in the same person over time.
Phys.org / Scientists explain why methane spiked in the early 2020s
A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural land increased atmospheric methane at an unprecedented rate in the early 2020s, an international ...
Phys.org / New model predicts the melting of free-floating ice in calm water
A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke Noto and Hugo Ulloa at ...
Medical Xpress / Wildfire smoke exposure tied to 24,000 deaths annually, study finds
Wildfires are growing larger, lasting longer and happening more often as the climate warms—but the toll from their toxic smoke, especially from long-term exposure, remains poorly understood.
Phys.org / Global map catalogs 459 rare continental mantle earthquakes since 1990
Stanford researchers have created the first-ever global map of a rare earthquake type that occurs not in Earth's crust but in our planet's mantle, the layer sandwiched between the thin crust and Earth's molten core. The new ...
Medical Xpress / Knee injuries in rugby: What a season-long study suggests about hip strength
Knee injuries are among the most serious and common injuries in rugby. Developing effective prevention strategies requires the identification of aspects of physical performance—such as power, muscle strength, and balance—that ...
Medical Xpress / Early TB treatment cuts HIV-related sepsis deaths by 23%, trial finds
Sepsis is a leading global cause of hospital deaths, occurring when the body's response to infection damages tissue and causes organs to fail. Africa bears the world's highest burden of sepsis, with an estimated 48 million ...
Phys.org / Capturing gravity waves: Scientists break 'decades of gridlock' in climate modeling
Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...
Tech Xplore / Decoding the shadows: Vehicle recognition software uncovers unusual traffic behavior
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a deep learning algorithm that analyzes drone, camera, and sensor data to reveal unusual vehicle patterns that may indicate illicit activity, ...
