Medical Xpress / Iron helps trigger asthma-linked airway inflammation by activating pathway
Chinese researchers have revealed the key role of iron in initiating allergic airway inflammation. The study, which was published in Cell, was conducted by a team led by Prof. Sun Bing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular ...
Phys.org / Molecular nanostructures can be activated using ultrasound
Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have taken an important step toward developing intelligent molecular materials. The team headed by Dr. Bernd M. Schmidt (Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe water's behavior in a single molecular layer
New research has revealed that water behaves differently when confined to spaces just one molecule thick. For the first time, scientists have directly measured the vibrational signatures of truly two-dimensional water. In ...
Phys.org / A last dance before death: Binary stars and the origins of interacting supernovae
When massive stars die, they unleash some of the most powerful explosions in the universe. Yet not all supernovae are created equal. Some continue to shine brightly for months or even years as their expanding debris crashes ...
Phys.org / Four new groups of indigenous cacao varieties discovered in Peru
A new genetic analysis of hundreds of cacao trees representing traditional Amazonian varieties grown on farms across Peru has revealed four previously unidentified, genetically distinct groups. Lambert Motilal, with colleagues ...
Phys.org / Childhood trauma may erode adult relationships through daily communication struggles
Traumatic events from your childhood could have a lingering impact on your adult relationships, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
Phys.org / Older than the sun: Astronomers find new clues to the origin of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS
Astronomers have used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) to study the composition of 3I/ATLAS, the brightest interstellar object ever seen, in detail. By measuring specific chemical fingerprints—the ...
Medical Xpress / AI test predicts breast cancer recurrence in hours, not weeks, across 3,500 patients
In recent years, notable advances have been made in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. However, its recurrence continues to plague thousands, deepening the need to find ways to better predict the likelihood of its return.
Phys.org / Earth's deepest rocks help define upper limit for viscosity beyond which materials effectively become rigid
Viscosity is one of the most fundamental physical properties used to describe how materials flow. It governs the movement of liquids, molten rocks and even slowly deforming regions deep inside the Earth. While scientists ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers help close a critical security gap across AI platforms
An AI flaw that can be found today in one model could be quietly replicated across dozens of products and services built on the same underlying technology. Until now, the AI community has lacked a formal pathway to report ...
Tech Xplore / First-ever recycling spin-triplet excitons boost organic photovoltaics efficiency to 20.5%
A research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has recently overcome a technological bottleneck that has persisted for more than a decade. They successfully "turned waste into treasure" by recycling triplet excitons ...
Phys.org / Alpine butterflies track warming uphill, but habitat loss may pose bigger risk
A new study published in the journal Alpine Entomology has found that alpine butterflies in the Swiss National Park are closely matching the pace of local warming in their range shift to higher elevations.
