Phys.org / Orange, camphor-smelling solid could be a key to the next generation grid-storage batteries
An orange solid with a camphor-like odor has helped aqueous zinc-iodide batteries move a large step closer to supplying safe and economic grid and household energy storage.
Medical Xpress / The healthy aging brain: How astrocytes store defective glycogen without harming memory
An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to the accumulation of defective energy molecules in the brains of aged mice, like humans, and identified ...
Phys.org / Open-access software tool helps researchers spot fake journals
Research papers in peer-reviewed academic journals are at the heart of academic integrity. New ideas and discoveries are vetted and checked by experts in the field as the boundaries of scientific knowledge are pushed forward. ...
Phys.org / Reuniting forcibly separated families: How a machine-learning model can help
Around the world, millions of families have suffered forcible separation, through war, trafficking, natural disasters, or socioeconomic crises. In China, family separation is a particularly large-scale and far-reaching problem. ...
Phys.org / Cracking the rules of gene regulation with experimental elegance and AI
Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning model PARM. This might bring an end to a scientific mystery: how genes know when to switch on or off.
Medical Xpress / Modeling decades of muscle atrophy in weeks with new transgenic zebrafish
As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability, and early death. At the moment, the best ...
Medical Xpress / An off-the-shelf immunotherapy for targeting solid tumors: Ready-to-use CAR-NKT cells show promise
A UCLA research team has identified the best design for a promising new type of immunotherapy that could be mass-produced to treat multiple solid tumors. The study focused on engineered invariant natural killer T cells, or ...
Phys.org / How play and social connection may help some dogs understand words
Some dogs are seemingly more talented than others. So-called gifted word learners (GWL) are rare canines that can rapidly learn the names of toys, a skill that most dogs don't possess. To understand why this is so, researchers ...
Phys.org / Hadean zircons reveal crust recycling and continent formation more than 4 billion years ago
Parts of ancient Earth may have formed continents and recycled crust through subduction far earlier than previously thought. New research led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has uncovered chemical signatures ...
Phys.org / JWST discovers a new extremely metal-poor dwarf galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new dwarf galaxy, which received designation CAPERS-39810. Further investigation of CAPERS-39810 revealed that it is an extremely metal-poor galaxy. ...
Phys.org / A minimalist bacterial defense strategy: Scientists discover single protein that disrupts viral assembly
University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein that can both sense and counteract viral infections. In the study, published in Nature, researchers ...
Phys.org / Genetic analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals a unique lineage in the Balkans
A new genetic study has revealed that the people of Deep Mani, who inhabit one of the remotest regions of mainland Greece, represent one of the most genetically distinctive populations in Europe, shaped by more than a millennium ...
