Phys.org / Metal-phase protection enables durable acidic CO₂ electroreduction to formic acid
The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals and fuels typically operates under alkaline or neutral conditions, but the carbonation side reaction causes carbon loss. In addition, the main product is ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered immune cells target and destroy glioblastoma in animal models
With a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer. Until now, all available treatments, including immunotherapy—which involves strengthening the immune system ...
Tech Xplore / How modified robotic prosthetics could help address hip and back problems for amputees
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and—for the first time—also help a human user's ...
Medical Xpress / Dopamine desensitization in fruit flies shows how repeated actions lose appeal over time
Our brain's reward system processes and reinforces pleasurable experiences, motivating us to seek out and engage in rewarding activities ranging from eating to social interactions to recreational drug use. Dopamine plays ...
Phys.org / New nanogel technology destroys drug-resistant bacteria in hours
As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, a Swansea University academic has led the development of a novel technology capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine—with over 99.9% effectiveness ...
Phys.org / Genetically engineered fungi are protein-packed, sustainable, and taste similar to meat
In a new study published in Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus's production efficiency and cut its production-related environmental impact by as much as ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental vaccine offers rapid, long-lasting protection against deadly tick-borne virus
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is one of the world's most dangerous yet overlooked infectious diseases. Spread by ticks and livestock, the virus causes sudden fever, organ failure, and internal bleeding, killing up ...
Phys.org / Isotope-based method can detect unknown selenium compounds
Although present in very small amounts, selenium (Se)-based compounds play important roles in protecting the body from oxidative stress, regulating thyroid hormones, strengthening the immune system, and even detoxifying heavy ...
Phys.org / A new space radiation shield: Flexible boron nitride nanotube film shows promise
High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the planetary surfaces—can be up to 20 times more harmful than other radiations. Aluminum, the most ...
Tech Xplore / Wargaming: The surprisingly effective tool that can help us prepare for modern crises
Consider the following scenario. There's a ransomware attack, enhanced by AI, which paralyzes NHS systems—delaying medical care across the country.
Phys.org / Europa clipper captures Uranus with star tracker camera
NASA's Europa Clipper captured this image of a starfield—and the planet Uranus—on Nov. 5, 2025, while experimenting with one of its two stellar reference units. These star-tracking cameras are used for maintaining spacecraft ...
Phys.org / Hormone-free plant regeneration method works for multiple crops
Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), working in close collaboration with KeyGene, have developed a method that enables plant cells to regenerate into complete plants without the need for added hormones.
