Phys.org / Biodegradable 'nanobone' could one day help regrow bone without painful grafts
For children born with cleft lip and palate, repairing gaps in the jawbone often means waiting until they are 10 to 12 years old before undergoing invasive bone graft surgery. University of Sydney researchers have developed ...
Medical Xpress / 3D atomic-level snapshots reveal ketamine binds to human opioid receptors
Ketamine, a drug approved for medical use in 1970 as a short-acting anesthetic, including during the Vietnam War for battlefield surgery, is still a pharmacological mystery. For a long time, scientists knew that ketamine, ...
Phys.org / Hidden DNA in medieval gospels reveals history of deadly livestock virus
Some of Europe's most well-known historic manuscripts, including the York Gospels, have proven to be biological time capsules for uncovering the 3,500-year history of the sheeppox virus (SPPV).
Tech Xplore / Volkswagen says it is cutting 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade
German car giant Volkswagen said Thursday that management and unions had agreed to cut a total of 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade, the biggest restructuring ever in the global auto industry.
Phys.org / An activity-based probe library for identifying protein function
Proteins are vital to living systems. They build and repair tissues, act as enzymes to speed chemical reactions, regulate hormones and transport nutrients—all of which are important for developing next-generation bioproducts ...
Phys.org / New nanostructure makes non-linear light conversion 72,000 times more efficient
Researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Harvard and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have developed an innovative method for coupling light non-linearly. This opens up new possibilities for ...
Phys.org / Orange hydrogen: Could Western Australia's rocks help power a low-carbon future?
Deep beneath parts of Western Australia, injecting CO2-rich water into iron-rich rocks may offer an unexpected opportunity for both clean energy production and carbon storage.
Medical Xpress / Five subtypes of common liver disease discovered—including rapidly progressing genetic forms
A liver disease affecting nearly 30% of adults worldwide is not a single illness but five biologically distinct subtypes, Mayo Clinic researchers have found. Each carries different risks for heart disease, liver failure, ...
Phys.org / When panic freezes people: Virtual quake tests capture real-time fear and injury risk
Growing up, many of us were taught to drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake. The guidance is straightforward, but how people actually respond when the ground starts shaking can be far more complicated. Now, UC Berkeley ...
Tech Xplore / New manufacturing method makes heat-resistant materials in days, not months
A novel approach for making carbon-carbon composites could replace the slow, labor-intensive manufacturing process that has constrained the material's availability and driven up its cost.
Tech Xplore / A 'raincoat' protects lead-free solar cells from the elements
One drawback of most solar cells made with efficiency-boosting perovskite is the presence of hazardous lead in the materials that turn sunlight into electricity. Next-generation solar cells made with the most promising lead-free ...
Medical Xpress / T cell protein could unlock new treatment for the most-feared joint replacement complication
Bone and joint infections cause significant health problems for patients and lead to millions of dollars in added health costs per year, but clinicians lack reliable tools to predict which patients will develop severe or ...
