Medical Xpress / Study shows supervised exercise improves strength, physical performance in patients with advanced breast cancer
Aerobic and resistance exercise can significantly improve physical performance in patients living with metastatic breast cancer, according to new results presented at the Advanced Breast Cancer Eighth International Consensus ...
Phys.org / Astronomers reveal tasty insights into exoplanet formation using SPAM
Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island have taken the closest-ever look at the dusty regions where planets form, offering new insight into the earliest stages of planetary birth.
Medical Xpress / New screening tool helps identify emotional needs after childhood injuries
Injuries not only cause physical harm to children but can also present psychosocial challenges for pediatric patients and their families.
Phys.org / AI-guided enzyme discovery enables 98.6% breakdown of polyurethane foam in hours
As the use of AI spreads through every industry and becomes more of a part of our lives every day, researchers are also looking into ways it can be used to solve some of the world's biggest problems. One of these problems ...
Phys.org / New environmental DNA test could help rare hammerhead sharks fight extinction
A test developed by a Florida International University scientist can detect small, elusive hammerheads without ever setting eyes on them—a critical new tool for species fighting for survival.
Phys.org / Plush neuron makes AI approachable, simplifies neural networks for middle schoolers
A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network.
Phys.org / Lipid nanoparticles that can deliver mRNA directly into heart muscle cells discovered
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. But advances in heart-failure therapeutics have stalled, largely due to the difficulty of delivering treatments at the cellular level. Now, a UC ...
Tech Xplore / Inexpensive materials transform waste carbon into energy-rich compounds
Turning waste carbon into useful products is a vital part of sustainable manufacturing. Recycling carbon dioxide creates carbon monoxide, which through electricity can be converted into energy-rich compounds. However, existing ...
Phys.org / Urban fungi show signs of thermal adaptation
A new study from researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds that common fungal species may be adapting to higher temperatures in warmer sites within cities compared to cooler sites in the same ...
Phys.org / Two FAST-discovered pulsars: Follow-up observations determine their fundamental parameters
Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), astronomers from West Virginia University and elsewhere have observed two distant pulsars identified with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). Results of ...
Phys.org / Tiny diatoms, big climate impact: How microscopic skeletons rapidly shape ocean chemistry
If you know what diatoms are, it's probably because of their beauty. These single-celled algae found on the ocean floor have ornate glassy shells that shine like jewels under the microscope.
Tech Xplore / Dual-level engineering strategy shows promise for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries
Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts with metal-N moieties are highly promising for lithium–sulfur batteries. They can enhance redox kinetics and suppress the dissolution of lithium polysulfides. However, carbon substrate ...
