Dialog / A new form of graphene-derived material could unlock next-generation printed electronics
Graphene has long been hailed as a "wonder material." It is incredibly strong, highly conductive and almost impossibly thin—just one atom thick. These properties make it a promising candidate for next-generation technologies ...
Phys.org / How cells stay healthy: New insights into a selective protein cleanup system
To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, known as autophagy, has been linked not only to cellular maintenance but also to various diseases ...
Medical Xpress / Immune stress during pregnancy changes how fetal brain cells communicate, mouse study reveals
Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related genes vary by location and cell type across the developing mouse brain before birth. Maternal immune ...
Phys.org / Increased deciduous tree dominance reduces wildfire carbon losses in boreal forests, study shows
As climate change drives more frequent and severe wildfires across boreal forests in Alaska and northwestern Canada, scientists are asking a critical question: Will these ecosystems continue to store carbon or become a growing ...
Medical Xpress / Seniors with dementia being prescribed dangerous mind-altering drugs, study says
Many seniors with dementia are being put at risk by brain-altering medications linked to falls, confusion and hospitalization, a new study says.
Tech Xplore / Soft, 3D transistors could host living cells for bioelectronics
New research from the WISE group (Wearable, Intelligent, Soft Electronics) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU-WISE) has addressed a long-standing bioelectronic challenge: the development of soft, 3D transistors.
Phys.org / Charging gold nanorods with light energy
Gold nanorods are promising photocatalysts that can use light energy to drive chemical reactions—such as converting CO₂ into usable fuels or producing hydrogen from water. In this process, the nanorods act like tiny antennas ...
Phys.org / Mobile app forecasts future vineyard climates to help winegrowers adapt to change
What will the climate of a given region be like in 20, 30 or 50 years? Climate analogs provide a robust methodological framework to address this question by identifying regions whose current climate matches the future climate ...
Phys.org / Things to know about the High Seas Treaty as it takes effect
The world's first legally binding agreement to protect marine life in international waters took effect Saturday, marking a historic moment for ocean conservation after nearly two decades of negotiations.
Phys.org / DNA's hidden 'traffic controller' protein may hold clues to cancer prevention
A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as a kind of "traffic controller" on DNA. Without this protein, chaos ensues, potentially causing ...
Medical Xpress / From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds
As another new year gets under way, many of us will be looking for a way of boosting how we feel, but is it better to hit the gym or meditate in nature? Now new research by Swansea experts has provided the largest ever comparison ...
Phys.org / New massive hot subdwarf binary discovered
Astronomers report the discovery of a new binary system, designated LAMOST J065816.72+094343.1. The newfound binary consists of a massive and hot subdwarf and an unseen companion. The finding was detailed in the January issue ...
