Phys.org / Extreme heat waves trigger unexpected nanoparticle formation in air
Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat waves can trigger new ...
Medical Xpress / Perioperative enfortumab vedotin + pembrolizumab tied to improved outcomes with bladder cancer
Perioperative enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab and surgery lead to significantly better outcomes among patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy compared with surgery ...
Phys.org / A puddle that jumps: What bubble bursts reveal about water on lotus-like surfaces
Water droplets have a unique ability: They can leap from a surface on their own. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as when a surface repels water or when heat is involved, such as a water or oil droplet skittering ...
Medical Xpress / Placental vascular reactivity can help ID fetal congenital heart disease
Placental vascular reactivity (PLVR) can help identify fetal congenital heart disease (CHD), according to a study recently published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
Phys.org / Webb examines 'Exposed Cranium' nebula
Two heads are better than one in the latest images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which reveal new detail in a mysterious, little-studied nebula surrounding a dying star. Nebula PMR 1 is a cloud of gas and dust that ...
Phys.org / Curiosity rover captures Martian spiderwebs up close
For about six months, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring a region full of geologic formations called boxwork, low ridges standing roughly 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) tall with sandy hollows in between. Crisscrossing ...
Medical Xpress / Muscle repair may hinge on a timed metabolic 'switch,' study suggests
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle—a finding that could help address muscle ...
Phys.org / CT scans of Inca child sacrifices reveal new details about capacocha rituals
The Incas were known to engage in a sacrificial ritual involving children to appease their gods. Archaeologists have found and analyzed the remains of these human sacrifices, although not all of them have undergone CT scanning, ...
Phys.org / A robust new telecom qubit identified in silicon
Quantum technologies are anticipated to transform computing, communication, and sensing by harnessing the unusual behavior of matter at the atomic scale. Translating quantum's promise into practical devices will require physical ...
Medical Xpress / Middle-aged men are most vulnerable to faster aging due to 'forever chemicals,' study finds
PFAS have wide-ranging toxic effects. Now, researchers have found that two non-legacy PFAS, namely perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), appear to speed up biological aging in middle-aged men, ...
Medical Xpress / Not just drainage: Dural venous sinuses actively regulate brain immunity and fluid flow, study finds
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke investigators at the National Institutes of Health traced meningeal immune activity to dural venous sinuses that actively constrict and dilate, exchange fluid across ...
Medical Xpress / A 'Google Earth' for the brain: What a 4D atlas reveals about growth
On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is highlighted in color. With the next click, something happens to the color markers. The marked areas change ...
