Tech Xplore / Electrochemical tuning of Ni-rich cathodes curbs c-collapse, enhancing lithium-ion battery durability
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, due to their light weight, high energy densities and their short charging times. Energy engineers have been trying to identify new ...
Medical Xpress / Higher maternal vitamin D during pregnancy tied to less childhood tooth decay
Zhejiang University School of Medicine investigators reported that higher maternal plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels across pregnancy aligned with lower odds of early childhood caries in children.
Medical Xpress / Small RNA molecule found to control cholesterol and heart disease risk
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside biomedical scientists has identified a small, previously overlooked small RNA molecule that plays a major role in controlling the body's cholesterol production ...
Phys.org / Newly engineered giant superatoms show promise for reliable quantum state transfer
Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or perform other functions. These systems rely on quantum states, which need to be reliably transferred ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease more prevalent in older people than previously thought
New research, published in Nature, has provided the first ever population-based data on the frequency of Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes (ADNC)—a key causal factor behind the development of dementia—and ...
Phys.org / A new family of barium-based crystals reveals rules for structural changes
The ultimate goal of materials scientists is to design and create materials with precise structures and tailored properties. Predictive technologies have advanced significantly with the rise of AI, yet the delicate nature ...
Medical Xpress / Individual genetic differences can render some antibody-based therapies ineffective
Antibody-based therapies are used to treat numerous diseases, from cancer to rheumatic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Antibodies recognize and bind to very specific structures. This allows them to direct active substances ...
Phys.org / Massive rock layer beneath Bermuda may explain island's unusual elevation
Bermuda may well be associated with exaggerated stories of missing ships and planes, but there is another mystery about this part of the Atlantic that has been puzzling scientists for decades: Why does the island appear to ...
Medical Xpress / New evidence about dopamine delivery explains why current Parkinson's treatments succeed—and their limitations
A McGill-led study is challenging a popular theory about how dopamine drives movement, a discovery that could shift how scientists think about Parkinson's disease treatments.
Medical Xpress / How disabling one gene protects mice against Type 1 diabetes
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have uncovered a possible way to protect key cells in the pancreas that are targeted during the development of Type 1 diabetes.
Phys.org / Deep-sea squid caught masquerading as sponge stalks in Pacific abyss
Cephalopods—the class of animals that comprises octopuses and squids—are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, including in the deep sea. However, researchers still don't know very much about the distribution, diversity and ...
Phys.org / LLMs unleash AI's potential for autonomous and explainable materials discovery
Discovering new inorganic materials is central to advancing technologies in catalysis, energy storage, semiconductors, and more. But finding a material with just the right properties is extremely difficult. What if an AI ...
