Tech Xplore / Interface tweak triples graphene oxide fuel cell power density to 0.7 W/cm²
A breakthrough in interface engineering clears the path for sustainable, high-power hydrogen energy. As the world races toward a hydrogen-based society, the quest for a truly green fuel cell has faced a persistent material ...
Phys.org / Meet Orpheus—A hopper mission built to hunt for life in Martian volcanoes
We've spent decades scratching the surface of Mars trying to uncover life there. But we've been searching a barren wasteland bombarded by radiation and bathed in toxic perchlorates. The entire time, it's likely that it's ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic variants in 1 in 10 people may reduce blood‑sugar response to GLP‑1 diabetes drugs
More than a quarter of people with Type 2 diabetes take GLP-1 receptor agonists, but the popular diabetes drugs might not work as well for people who have certain genetic variants, according to a new study by Stanford Medicine ...
Medical Xpress / Virus from seafood is linked to a persistent eye disease in humans
A virus that typically infects marine animals, such as shrimp and fish, has jumped to humans and is causing chronic eye disease in some people, according to a study published in the journal Nature Microbiology. In recent ...
Phys.org / Microbial hockey: Scientists discover how bacteria rotate tiny pucks
At the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), Jérémie Palacci's research group is venturing into metallurgy—albeit with a twist. Instead of traditional tools, the scientists use E. coli bacteria, often associated ...
Medical Xpress / AI scans 400,000 Reddit posts to flag overlooked GLP-1 side effects
By using AI to analyze more than 400,000 Reddit posts, Penn researchers have identified patient-reported symptoms associated with GLP-1s, the popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs semaglutide and tirzepatide, that may not ...
Phys.org / AI uncovers hidden immune defenses inside bacteria
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered thousands of new proteins that protect bacteria from virus attacks using an AI system called DefensePredictor. What would usually take months ...
Phys.org / Three Himalayan predators coexist by partitioning prey, reducing direct competition
Snow leopards, leopards, and Himalayan wolves all share similar stomping grounds in Nepal's Lapchi Valley in the Himalayas. A recent study, published in PLOS One, has taken a closer look at how these apex predators have found ...
Phys.org / Artemis II's record-breaking journey around the moon ends with dramatic splashdown
Artemis II's astronauts closed out humanity's first lunar voyage in more than half a century with a Pacific splashdown on Friday, blazing new records near the moon with grace and joy.
Medical Xpress / Heart, metabolic and inflammatory risk patterns found to differ markedly between men and women with obesity
New research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Istanbul, Turkey (May 12–15), reveals distinct patterns of heart, metabolic, and inflammatory health risks between men and women living with ...
Phys.org / First close pair of supermassive black holes detected
Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are one of the most active fields of research in astronomy. In order to accumulate their enormous masses, they must merge with each other. A research team led by Silke Britzen ...
Medical Xpress / Women's immune systems show bigger age-related changes than men's, study reveals
Statistics show clear differences in the population's immune system according to sex: men are more susceptible to infections and cancers, while women have stronger immune responses, which translate, for example, into better ...
