Tech Xplore / Ice electrolyte can power battery: Researchers unlock lithium conduction in solid organic electrolytes
A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional view that electrolytes ...
Phys.org / Ancient hydrothermal carbon fuels microbes and crabs off Taiwan, study reveals
How is carbon metabolized and processed in different ecosystems? In a study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers led by Joely Maak, the study's first author and researcher in the Cluster ...
Phys.org / Narrow-ridged finless porpoises are more social than assumed, study finds
A well-established fact of infancy in mammals is that the mother is the primary adult with whom an infant will interact. This holds true across species, from the tiniest shrew to the most massive blue whale. However, infants ...
Medical Xpress / Why lungs age unevenly: Vulnerable cells may guide new therapies
Aging is associated with increased risk for nearly every lung disease, including acute conditions like pneumonia and chronic diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. ...
Medical Xpress / 'Asian flush' mutation may trigger ferroptosis during heart attacks, study reveals
About 40% of East Asians suffer from alcohol intolerance, known as "Asian Flush Syndrome," caused by an ALDH2 genetic mutation. Beyond facial flushing, this mutation carries serious cardiovascular risks. Carriers experience ...
Tech Xplore / For precision tech, a hydrogen-tuned crystal could cancel thermal expansion
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a hydrogen-absorbing material shrinks in one direction upon heating, so-called negative thermal expansion (NTE). They found that this NTE is driven by a phase ...
Tech Xplore / Improving AI models' ability to explain their predictions
In high-stakes settings like medical diagnostics, users often want to know what led a computer vision model to make a certain prediction, so they can determine whether to trust its output. Concept bottleneck modeling is one ...
Medical Xpress / Brain activity reveals how well we mentally size up others
How quickly do we perceive whether a person we are interacting with is clever or predictable? Be it in a game, a conversation or a negotiation, we constantly infer what others are thinking and size up their intentions, and ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds shared genetic roots of multiple sclerosis across diverse ancestries
A new study published in Neurology, led by Queen Mary University of London, has revealed that people of South Asian, African and European ancestry share many of the same genetic risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS).
Medical Xpress / Immune cells play key role in regulating eye pressure linked to glaucoma, research reveals
When the eye's drainage system clogs, pressure builds up and causes damage. The pressure can lead to glaucoma and vision loss. New research, published in the journal Immunity, reveals that a specialized set of immune cells ...
Tech Xplore / AI fake-news detectors may look accurate but fail in real use, study finds
A dubious link from a friend. A headline too sensational to be true. A video that seems fake but you can't be sure. As online misinformation grows harder to detect, new artificial-intelligence tools promise to help us separate ...
Medical Xpress / Biomimetic platform developed to enhance CAR T cell therapy against leukemia
Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy represents a milestone in leukemia treatment. CAR T works by genetically engineering a chimeric antigen receptor on the surface of the patient's T cells to target specific ...
