Phys.org / Hollow-sphere catalyst enables greener production of 99% pure propene at room temperature
The world's appetite for propene (propylene) is growing faster than the chemical industry can keep up. This petrochemical product powers the production of acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, high-velocity fuels, and, most importantly, ...
Medical Xpress / Human cell model recreates Alzheimer's-linked tau pathology and synapse loss
Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Medical Xpress / Freeze-dried platelet product slows swelling and bleeding in traumatic brain injuries
A freeze-dried blood product that could be stored for years on ambulances or in remote emergency departments is showing promise at treating traumatic brain injuries. The news comes from a mouse study done by researchers at ...
Phys.org / Light-activated electrolyte oxidizes water to promote tumor cell death
A research team led by Professor Jin Yong Lee from the Department of Chemistry of Sungkyunkwan University, with co-first author HyoungChul Ham, and in collaboration with research teams from Korea University and the National ...
Tech Xplore / China's top AI players
China's artificial intelligence boom is in full swing, with the release of a new large language model (LLM) by top startup DeepSeek on Friday highlighting the country's rapid progress despite U.S. export restrictions on advanced ...
Phys.org / LHC decay anomaly reveals possible crack in the Standard Model
Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics.
Tech Xplore / Engineers boost sustainable acrylic acid production using next‑generation membrane reactor
Acrylic acid is essential for everyday products—from paints and coatings to absorbent polymers—yet almost all of it is currently made from propylene, a petrochemical. As global biodiesel production rises, so does the supply ...
Phys.org / Beneath Arctic ice, a vast fossil fuel footprint is colliding with Indigenous lands and wildlife
Arctic fossil fuel development shows significant overlaps with Indigenous communities and ecologically sensitive areas, which might support calls from some scientists to keep Arctic fossil fuels in the ground, according to ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocytes reveal fragile X pathway tied to seizures and synapse problems
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein ...
Medical Xpress / Student mental health trial finds conversational AI better than group therapy for anxiety
Over a billion people in the world are living with some form of mental crisis, and the numbers aren't seeing a downward trend. It is all hands on deck to find potential ways to address the rising public health concern. A ...
Medical Xpress / 3D DNA switch in brown fat could reshape obesity and diabetes treatment
Most fat stores energy; the body's brown fat does the opposite. Unlike the white fat that accumulates just under our skin, brown fat burns calories and glucose to generate heat. Formally known as brown adipose tissue, it ...
Medical Xpress / Surgeons debate promise and limits of robotics in lung transplantation
The expanding use of robotic technology in lung transplantation came under scrutiny at the 46th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), held from 22–25 ...
