Medical Xpress / Seven-year study finds non-surgical valve replacement holds up as well as open-heart surgery
The incidence of cardiovascular disease is rising across the globe, with more than 28 million people worldwide living with heart valve disease. Each year in the United States alone, surgeons perform approximately 106,000 ...
Phys.org / More than 2,700 excess deaths estimated in England and Wales during May and June
More than 2,700 people are estimated to have died from heat-related causes during the record-breaking May and June 2026 heat waves in England and Wales, according to a new rapid analysis report led by researchers from the ...
Phys.org / Far above the Earth, NASA's Apollo lunar lander put astronauts on the moon
America's most daring, extraordinary feat—landing astronauts on the moon—remains the pinnacle of achievement by anyone anywhere. Ever.
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop prototype thin-film electronics that can dock and undock themselves
Publishing in the journal npj Flexible Electronics, researchers from Kyushu University have developed prototype thin-film electronic modules that can automatically connect and disconnect with one another.
Medical Xpress / Early warning signs of potential drug resistance in schistosomiasis parasite revealed
Scientists have identified genetic changes in wild populations of the parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis that may reduce its response to praziquantel, the only available treatment. The study provides an early warning ...
Phys.org / To learn how tough a material is, engineers find its breaking point
A recent study examined a transparent material used in high-impact applications such as helicopter windshields at the molecular level to measure its toughness. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and ...
Phys.org / How an influx of salt may affect microbial ecosystems in rivers, estuaries and coastal waters worldwide
As sea levels rise due to climate change, encroaching seawater will likely make freshwater environments saltier. In a new study, MIT researchers have shown how that increase in salinity might affect microbial ecosystems found ...
Tech Xplore / Layered crystal embeds atom-thin iron selenide can improve waste heat conversion
Developing thermoelectric materials that efficiently convert waste heat into electricity remains challenging because high electrical performance and low thermal conductivity are difficult to achieve simultaneously. Researchers ...
Phys.org / How human activities compromise coral health and resilience
Human activities are fundamentally altering the chemical makeup of coral reefs, according to a study led by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and published in Nature Communications. The research team discovered that 25 contaminants ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover novel pathway that causes epilepsy
Researchers have uncovered a novel biological pathway that can lead to seizures when disrupted. The findings also provide a new approach to improve the diagnosis of epilepsy, for which a genetic cause cannot be found in about ...
Phys.org / Self‑building molecular rings bring next‑generation drug delivery and smart materials closer
Rotaxanes are dumbbell-shaped mechanically interlocked molecules in which one or more ring-shaped molecules are threaded through a linear segment, known as the axle. To keep the ring from sliding off, two bulky groups, sometimes ...
Phys.org / Air from Greenland snow shows industrialization's impact on atmospheric methane
An international team of researchers, including scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Maryland, has reconstructed the concentration of clumped isotopes of methane in air from the past for the first time. ...
