Phys.org / Light-driven chemistry steers electron transfers beyond redox limits
Chemists use single-electron transfers to synthesize complex, ring-shaped molecular structures found in many drug candidates and advanced materials, but current techniques still have limitations. A new study, accepted for ...
Phys.org / How researchers are using AI to speed up drug discovery and development: Q&A
Drug development is among the slowest, most failure-prone processes in modern science, with about 90% of drug candidates never reaching the market. Today, artificial intelligence methods have accelerated the first step—plucking ...
Phys.org / Plasma design rules show how to preserve attosecond flashes for observing electrons
Researchers at Skoltech, together with a colleague from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working within the joint SIOM–Skoltech laboratory, have determined how to select ...
Phys.org / Global analysis reveals age as overlooked driver of food-related climate emissions
A new international study published in Nature Food reveals that age plays an important but often overlooked role in shaping global food-related greenhouse gas emissions. The study shows that dietary emissions can vary substantially ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized gene therapy helps teen with rare form of severe epilepsy walk independently
SCN2A-related developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) is a rare, severe form of childhood epilepsy and one of the most common causes of monogenic autism. The condition is caused by single mutations in the sodium voltage-gated ...
Phys.org / Even a slight overproduction of tubulin can tip the balance of cellular health, study shows
For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little and too much can compromise essential cellular functions. A team from the University of Geneva ...
Medical Xpress / Stroke center anesthesia practices may shape patient outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy
A hospital's overall experience with general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS) may influence how anesthesia choice affects patient outcomes during mechanical thrombectomy, according to research presented at the Society ...
Phys.org / Giving bees a probiotic diet could help protect them from extreme temperatures
Honeybees do not like cold weather. When temperatures dip, they can become sluggish and unable to fly. But no matter the conditions in the outside world, they try to keep their hives close to a comfortable 34°C–36°C (93°F–97°F). ...
Phys.org / A century-old stellar mystery may finally have an explanation
For more than a century, astronomers have puzzled over a strange discrepancy in the historical record. Theta Eridani, a modest star in the constellation Eridanus, is the third-brightest star in its constellation, with a magnitude ...
Phys.org / Two-color lasers aim electron currents through semiconductor with no electric field
Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a device that enables them to control the flow of electrons through a semiconductor using only laser light—no electrical power source required. The device was built to ...
Tech Xplore / Thwarting the hidden resume hacks that target AI hiring tools
In an increasingly competitive job market, some applicants are quietly trying to outsmart AI hiring tools. Now, new research focused on rooting out the practice of "prompt injection" shows how widespread this tactic is.
Phys.org / Who holds power? Puerto Ricans' distrust runs deep
Puerto Ricans share deep skepticism toward elected officials and a widespread sense of limited self-governance, according to a new study from the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research and the University of ...
