Phys.org / Foreign tariffs made U.S. whiskey cheaper... depending on where you live
A new study finds that one side effect of Trump-era trade wars has been cheaper whiskey in much of the United States. But if you live in whiskey hubs Kentucky or Tennessee, your prices actually went up.
Phys.org / New lipid nanoparticle delivers capped circular RNA for longer-lasting gene expression
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan in collaboration with FUJIFILM have developed a novel way of delivering circular RNA (cirRNA) into cells, paving the way for longer-lasting mRNA-based therapeutics including cancer ...
Tech Xplore / Turning once-troublesome protons into an energy storage resource for batteries
A research team led by Sarah S. Park from the Department of Chemistry (KAIST) has developed a new electrode material that sequentially stores zinc ions (Zn²⁺) and protons in aqueous batteries. The material is based on a two-dimensional ...
Phys.org / Newton's momentum principles could help design safer offshore facilities in extreme waves
Researchers have developed a novel model to accurately and efficiently predict the impact of "green water"—water washing onto the deck of an offshore facility during extreme wave conditions.
Phys.org / AI prompts offer a new tool for mapping how emotion concepts relate
How similar are "joy" and "surprise"? Conversely, how far apart are "joy" and "sadness"? We naturally organize words that express emotions—such as "happy," "afraid," and "angry"—according to similarities and differences in ...

Medical Xpress / Prostate cancer hijacks amino acid metabolism to signal hormone therapy resistance
Prostate tumors can rewire amino acid metabolism to override the normal brakes on cholesterol production, a process that may fuel hormone therapy resistance, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Phys.org / Molecular memory: How a mother's age echoes in her offspring's cells
In humans and many other animals, a mother's age can affect the physical and behavioral characteristics of the next generation. Scientists call these changes maternal age effects, and while they are widespread across the ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental pill targets nerve pain pathway, cutting opioid use after abdominal surgery
Opioids can be highly effective at relieving moderate to severe pain, whether it comes from surgery, an injury or conditions such as cancer. They work by activating opioid receptors in the brain and body, which block pain ...
