Phys.org / Sound waves create mist that can act like 'plant sunscreen'
RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using high‑frequency sound waves to create a fine mist that can act like a plant sunscreen.
Phys.org / Death-defying protein found in tardigrades preserves synthetic cells
A protein found only in microscopic tardigrades, one that allows them to survive extreme conditions like dehydration, can convey similar durability in synthetic cells, according to new research from University of Michigan ...
Medical Xpress / New MRI technology maps 20-plus brain biomarkers in a single 14-minute scan
New multiplexed imaging technology using standard clinical MRI systems can simultaneously map more than 20 biomarkers in high resolution, providing a comprehensive view of the brain with a single scan.
Phys.org / Roman Space Telescope poised to transform hunt for elusive neutron stars
Astronomers have long known that neutron stars, the crushed cores left behind after massive stars explode, should be scattered throughout the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of them are effectively invisible. A new study ...
Medical Xpress / Bullying and politics fuel suicide risk for LGBTQ+ teens and young adults, survey finds
More than a third of LGBTQ+ young people have seriously considered suicide in the past year, driven by bullying from both peers and politicians, a new survey has found.
Phys.org / How a newly discovered organelle could help reduce cow methane emissions
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, a newly discovered hydrogen-producing ...
Phys.org / Clean energy's nickel rush is heading straight for some of Earth's richest ecosystems
Meeting future nickel demand for stainless steel and clean energy technologies will require tough decisions with potential environmental trade-offs, a new study has found. Dr. Jayden Hyman from The University of Queensland's ...
Medical Xpress / New heart disease risk prediction tool validated globally
A tool developed by the American Heart Association (AHA), proven to accurately predict heart disease risk for Americans, can be applied to the global population, a new study led by NYU Langone Health shows.
Phys.org / Why workplace change keeps failing: New framework says structure, not mindset, may be the real barrier
Why do organizations often return to old patterns even after leaders invest in culture change, training, and transformation programs? A conceptual analysis published in Frontiers in Psychology by researchers at Tokyo-based ...
Medical Xpress / Finger-prick blood test may spot active tuberculosis early and predict who develops disease
Household contacts of people with tuberculosis (TB) have a high risk of getting TB themselves, at around 2%. It is currently difficult to detect TB in its early stages, or predict who will go on to have TB, and therefore ...
Phys.org / Light without electricity? Glowing algae could make it possible
Imagine a sea of glowing blue lights pulsing to the beat of the music. But instead of glow sticks filled with toxic chemicals, the luminescence comes from living algae, shimmering on demand. In a new study published in Science ...
Phys.org / A targeted 'off switch' in a plant's egg cell speeds up the breeding process
An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has succeeded in generating haploids in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana very efficiently. This process involves degrading a specific protein in the centromere. ...
