Tech Xplore / Next-generation computing relies on extremely thin semiconductors—now there's a better way to make them
The ability to develop extremely thin semiconductors is key to advancing the fields of electronics and computing. But so far, there's been a trade-off between the quality of these semiconductors and the ability to make them ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticles inspired by lung fluid improve therapies targeting respiratory system
The CIC biomaGUNE Center for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials has developed pulmonary surfactant nanoparticles (the blend of lipids and proteins that line the alveoli and enables breathing), which are encapsulated in ...
Tech Xplore / New AI fitness coach explains bad form in real time to help prevent injuries
As any athlete will tell you, perfect practice makes perfect. But for individuals who do not have regular access to coaches or trainers, maintaining good form can be tricky. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic when many ...
Phys.org / Arctic river deltas face rising climate pressure while holding vast frozen carbon reserves
Many rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle—including the Lena in Siberia and the Mackenzie River in Canada. The deltas of these large and small rivers store large amounts of carbon, which is bound there ...
Medical Xpress / New antibiotic kills drug-resistant bacteria by targeting previously unknown vulnerability
Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a new antibiotic that kills some of the world's most dangerous and drug-resistant bacteria—and does so by targeting a previously unknown vulnerability, opening the door to ...
Phys.org / Mars mission ends: NASA declares Maven dead after six months of silence
After six months of radio silence, NASA's Maven spacecraft around Mars has been declared dead.
Phys.org / Half-ton early bovines roamed 4-million-year-old grasslands in Europe
The first large-sized bovines grew to up to half a ton 4 million years ago in the European Early Pliocene, an early step toward our modern diversity of large-bodied buffalo and cattle, according to a study published June ...
Medical Xpress / Largest study of knee osteoarthritis tissue reveals core biological pathways underlying the disease
A major international study led by researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford has found that osteoarthritis (OA)—the most common form of arthritis worldwide—is not a collection of separate ...
Phys.org / Fossil fishes buried in the desert reveal a missing chapter in marine history
When an asteroid struck Earth about 66 million years ago, it ended the age of dinosaurs and transformed life across the planet. The effects of that catastrophe are visible in the fossil record on land, but scientists know ...
Phys.org / Real-time fish interaction enlarges young guppy brains, while screen time falls short
Young guppies who were able to see and interact with live fish developed larger brains than guppies who only saw other fish on a screen. This is shown in a new study from Stockholm University, published in Biology Letters. ...
Tech Xplore / Atomic swap can improve phosphate cathodes for high-energy sodium-ion batteries
Most smartphones, portable computers and other devices on the market today are powered by lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. While these rechargeable batteries perform remarkably well, they are based on lithium, which is not ...
Science X / Universal aging clock predicts death risk across multiple mammalian species
What's common between rats, humans, dogs and dolphins? We are all mammals, and one day will be the last day of our lives. A multinational team of researchers have now given us a powerful molecular clock that, with the help ...
