Medical Xpress / Specialized bone marrow transplant replaces immune cells beyond the brain in mice
The immune system is made up of specialized cells and proteins that help defend the body from pathogens and cancer. Most of the time, the immune system performs its job remarkably well. However, in some situations, the immune ...
Tech Xplore / New manufacturing method makes heat-resistant materials in days, not months
A novel approach for making carbon-carbon composites could replace the slow, labor-intensive manufacturing process that has constrained the material's availability and driven up its cost.
Phys.org / PACMAN AI framework for controlling fusion systems safely makes key decisions in milliseconds
Inside some fusion energy systems, particles hotter than the core of the sun can become unruly in a few thousandths of a second, far faster than any human operator can react. A new software framework developed by researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Volkswagen says it is cutting 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade
German car giant Volkswagen said Thursday that management and unions had agreed to cut a total of 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade, the biggest restructuring ever in the global auto industry.
Phys.org / Capturing localized protein and metabolic information from a single tissue section
Revealing how proteins and end products of biological activity (metabolites) change within specific tissue functional units during development or in response to environmental factors is beneficial for understanding localized ...
Medical Xpress / The blueprint for taste: Scientists map the neural circuitry behind feeding decisions in fruit flies
Everything you eat passes one checkpoint before it enters your body: taste. In a fraction of a second, it decides what gets swallowed and what gets rejected, a judgment call critical to survival. Now, for the first time, ...
Phys.org / Chemists design extra-sticky adhesives that degrade on command
A good adhesive is unequivocally sticky. A great adhesive is sticky until you don't want it to be sticky anymore—a label on cardboard until it's time to recycle it. Medical tape on a cut until the wound heals. A GWAR poster ...
Medical Xpress / Musicians' brains stay one step ahead, study finds
Musicians don't just learn movement sequences faster; they predict what's coming next sooner, according to new research that also found newly formed motor memories can be disrupted by seeing different visual sequences shortly ...
Phys.org / Orange hydrogen: Could Western Australia's rocks help power a low-carbon future?
Deep beneath parts of Western Australia, injecting CO2-rich water into iron-rich rocks may offer an unexpected opportunity for both clean energy production and carbon storage.
Medical Xpress / Practice helps the brain separate tasks and improve multitasking ability
Why is it so difficult to perform two tasks at the same time? For decades, scientists have debated whether multitasking is limited by a "central bottleneck" that restricts simultaneous processing or by competition for limited ...
Phys.org / Copper's oxygen-rich early oxidation layer could inform catalyst design and nuclear waste storage
Copper roofs lose their reddish color over time because a pale green layer of copper oxide forms on their surface, protecting the roof from further corrosion for many years. But what exactly happens during the first steps ...
Phys.org / Physicists take Hall effect in a new direction
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a longstanding assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the fundamental understanding ...
