Medical Xpress / Targeted ultrasound may help the brain overcome fear more quickly
Neuroscientist Sjoerd Meijer of the Donders Institute at Radboud University has shown for the first time that targeted ultrasonic sound waves can help the brain overcome fear more quickly. These findings may open new avenues ...
Phys.org / RNA-guided CRISPR system activates gene expression
In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally evolved gene-editing system that can activate genes, offering an advantage over existing CRISPR gene-editing ...
Phys.org / Malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in South America are evolving to evade insecticides
Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes—a major vector of malaria in South America—are evolving in response to insecticides, which may make them harder to kill and malaria more difficult to control, according to a new study led by ...
Phys.org / Scientists identify new Fusarium species behind wheat disease outbreak in Ethiopia
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat that can reduce grain yields and contaminate grain with toxins harmful to humans and livestock. The disease threatens wheat production worldwide and poses ongoing ...
Phys.org / JWST probes emerging young star clusters in nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a nearby spiral galaxy known as NGC 628. Results of the observational campaign, published March 10 on the arXiv pre-print server, ...
Tech Xplore / Efficient carbon capture 'viciazite' materials can desorb below 60°C
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it reaches the atmosphere is a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Even though carbon capture technologies have existed for decades, their widespread adoption has been ...
Medical Xpress / Over the past decade, early-stage drug innovation has shifted toward China, researchers find
Early-stage drug development worldwide has nearly doubled over the past decade and shifted from a U.S.-dominated model to a dual hub centered in the United States and China, according to new research described by Georgetown ...
Medical Xpress / Is dark chocolate healthier than milk chocolate? Dietitians explain
Easter chocolate is all over supermarket shelves. Some people reach straight for milk chocolate eggs while others pause at the darker varieties, assuming they're healthier.
Medical Xpress / A protein may help revive exhausted T cells in cancer immunotherapy
Immunotherapy has been one of the most transformative treatments for cancer patients in recent decades, shifting the emphasis from the broad-spectrum approach of chemotherapy to prompting the immune system's boldest warriors—its ...
Tech Xplore / Fragmented phone use—not total screen time—is the main driver of information overload, study finds
Amid hot discussion on screen time, social media use and the impact of digital devices on our well-being, a seven-month study from Aalto University in Finland sheds new light on what overwhelms users the most—and the results ...
Phys.org / Laser-modified graphene enables molecule-thick films to grow only where needed
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University have developed a new method based on laser modification, which allows metal-organic materials to be grown locally one molecule-thick layer at a time. The method ...
Phys.org / Foreign direct investment is no silver bullet for growth, research shows
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has long been seen as a reliable engine of economic growth, bringing jobs, productivity gains and new technologies into host economies. But new research suggests the reality is far more complex, ...
