Phys.org / Frozen in dry ice, hydrogen reveals a surprisingly simple way to control quantum behavior
A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in the journal Physical Review ...
Medical Xpress / Years before pregnancy, routine bloodwork may already signal which women will face one of its riskiest complications
Small abnormalities in blood sugar, blood lipids and inflammation several years before pregnancy are linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy and preeclampsia, according to a study from Karolinska ...
Phys.org / Researchers create DNA 'nano-rings' to control viral cell proteins
Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new nanoscale tool that can capture and precisely position some of the most important proteins in the human ...
Medical Xpress / Ticked off: How a bite can turn meat against you
Mammalian meat allergy (MMA) is one of the few known food allergies caused by an environmental trigger—a tick bite. In simple terms, MMA results in an allergic reaction to red meat, making it difficult or sometimes even impossible ...
Phys.org / Drone radar reveals buried glaciers on Earth, guiding the search for water on Mars
Understanding how to explore hidden glaciers on Mars begins not in a laboratory, but in remote field camps across Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical Xpress / Team targets the spinal cord to solve paralysis' most overlooked problem
Approximately 308,000 people in the United States live with spinal cord injury. Nearly all lose bladder control. And yet the vast majority of research and engineering attention in neurotech has poured into motor restoration—making ...
Tech Xplore / Extended reality tool lets dancers analyze movement
It's been said that "writing about music is like dancing about architecture." Writing, or talking, about dancing can be similarly futile. A Cornell doctoral student has helped develop a tool that lets dancers use video and ...
Medical Xpress / Warmer temps bring soaring tick populations—here's how to stay safe from Lyme disease
Spring's warmer weather lures people outdoors—and into possible contact with ticks that spread Lyme disease.
Medical Xpress / Disease-causing pathogen rewires gut metabolism to secure nutrients for growth, research shows
An intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause diseases, a multi-institutional team including researchers at Vanderbilt Health has discovered. The investigators show that enterotoxigenic ...
Medical Xpress / Glucose levels appear to guide when brain cells divide or form myelin
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin—the protective coating that allows ...
Science X / Wild parrots quickly learn to eat new foods by copying their friends
Wild parrots learn whether new types of food are safe to eat by observing other members of their social group, allowing dietary knowledge to spread rapidly through the community, according to a study by Julia Penndorf at ...
Tech Xplore / Creating the ultimate driver's test for automated vehicles
Automated vehicles have been steadily rolling out in U.S. cities, but scaled deployment still faces a daunting challenge: proving the technology can safely navigate the complexity of real-world driving. Virginia Tech researchers ...
