Medical Xpress / Higher lifetime alcohol consumption linked to colorectal cancer risk
Studies have demonstrated a link between alcohol consumption and an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. New research now reveals that higher lifetime alcohol consumption is also associated with a higher risk, especially for ...
Phys.org / A new three-way single step rearrangement enables precise ring editing
A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.
Tech Xplore / Three-in-one process recycles spent lithium batteries, captures CO₂ and generates catalysts—all at room temperature
Scientists from China have developed a new way to recycle lithium batteries that is a triple win for the planet. It not only extracts nearly all the lithium for reuse but also traps carbon dioxide and converts the remaining ...
Phys.org / Novel biosensor enables real-time tracking of iron (II) in living cells
Iron is an essential trace element in biological cells. The concentration of the element and its so-called redox state—it can exist either in a doubly ionized state as iron (II) (Fe2+) or a triply ionized state as iron ...
Tech Xplore / Swarms of mini robots that 'bloom' could lead to adaptive architecture
Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't overheat or feel like concrete cages, nature has been perfecting comfortable living structures for ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe a 300-million-year-old brain rhythm in several animal species
Sleep is a universal biological state that allows all animals, from mammals to amphibians, fish and even insects, to restore their energy and consolidate knowledge that can contribute to their survival. Neuroscientists and ...
Medical Xpress / The pandemic's hidden toll: Millions of chronic conditions left undiagnosed
When COVID hit, health care systems around the world were turned upside down. Hospitals cleared beds, routine appointments were canceled and people were told to stay at home unless it was urgent. In England, visits to family ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover lung cancer's 'bodyguard system'—and how to disarm it
Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified why certain lung cancer cells become highly resistant to treatment after developing mutations in a key gene called EGFR (epidermal ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered immune 'traffic controller' can be hijacked by cytomegalovirus
Researchers from Monash University and the Lions Eye Institute have discovered a tissue protein that acts as a central 'traffic controller' for immune cells and can be hijacked by a virus to weaken immune responses.
Phys.org / Particle permutation task can be tackled by quantum but not classical computers, study finds
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many physicists and quantum engineers ...
Phys.org / Most men do not subscribe to toxic masculinity traits, study finds
A growing niche space, the manosphere, has been taking shape in today's online forums and social media, preaching an aggressive definition of what it means to be a man. It promotes traits such as misogyny, dominance, and ...
Phys.org / Edison's 1879 bulb experiments may have unintentionally produced graphene
What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According to a recent publication from the lab of Rice University's James Tour in ACS Nano, it could be graphene—an ...
