Tech Xplore / Novel approach to a key biofuel production step captures an elusive energy source
Plants grown for biofuel have the potential to power our travel industry, but an important fraction of their chemical power has remained stubbornly difficult to recover. New research from the Center for Advanced Biofuel and ...
Phys.org / Using duality to construct and classify new quantum phases
A team of theoretical researchers has found duality can unveil non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases, which can lead to researchers understanding more about the properties of these phases, and uncover new quantum ...
Medical Xpress / New tissue models could help researchers develop drugs for liver disease
More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterized by a buildup of fat in the liver. This condition can lead to the development of ...
Phys.org / How species competition shapes trait diversity worldwide
Every ecosystem is shaped by billions of invisible battles: organisms competing for light, nutrients, space, or mates. These competitive interactions determine which species survive, how they evolve, and how vibrant and resilient ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown heart tissue beats on its own as sensors track force in real time
Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine have made a major advance in their research into cardiovascular disease: They've created functional, three-dimensional ...
Phys.org / From sea to soil: Molecular changes suggest how algae evolved into plants
Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, little light reaches the ...
Medical Xpress / Yeast cells can be used for rapid testing of cancer immunotherapy
An international research team with strong participation from DTU has developed a new biotechnological platform that makes it possible to test and understand advanced cancer treatments much faster and cheaper than before. ...
Phys.org / Lab-grown algae remove microplastics from water
A University of Missouri researcher is pioneering an innovative solution to remove tiny bits of plastic pollution from our water. Mizzou's Susie Dai recently applied a revolutionary strain of algae toward capturing and removing ...
Phys.org / Some bottled water is worse than tap for microplastics, study shows
Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to new research by scientists who have developed a novel method for detecting these tiny particles.
Medical Xpress / How a tiny cellular signal helps shape the human heart
Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart ...
Medical Xpress / 'Personal lives' of lung cancer cells help predict response to treatment
University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell "neighborhoods" in the most common type of lung cancer have found cell metabolism plays a critical role in determining how lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. ...
Phys.org / SpaceX grounds Falcon 9 missions, could impact ISS launch
NASA said Tuesday its next crew rotation to the International Space Station could be delayed after SpaceX announced it was grounding flights of its Falcon 9 rocket to investigate an unspecified issue.
