Phys.org / Could ionospheric disturbances influence earthquakes?
Researchers at Kyoto University have proposed a new physical model that explores how disturbances in the ionosphere may exert electrostatic forces within Earth's crust and potentially contribute to the initiation of large ...
Phys.org / LimbLab: A tool to visualize embryonic development in 3D
Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in three dimensions, but many studies are limited by the use of two-dimensional approaches and images ...
Phys.org / Simulations and experiments meet: Machine learning predicts gold nanocluster structures
Researchers at University of Jyväskylä (Finland) advance understanding of gold nanocluster behavior at elevated temperatures using machine learning-based simulations. This information is crucial in the design of nanomaterials ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool can predict which trauma patients need blood transfusions before they reach the hospital
Severe bleeding is one of the most common and preventable causes of death after traumatic injury, yet currently available tools have poor ability to determine which patients urgently need blood transfusions. A new multinational ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells linked to Epstein-Barr virus may play a role in multiple sclerosis
Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly one million Americans. The work found ...
Phys.org / Controlling magnetism to unlock better hydrogen storage alloys
Hydrogen is expected to play a central role in future clean energy systems, but storing it efficiently and safely remains one of the biggest challenges to its widespread adoption. Solid-state hydrogen storage, in which hydrogen ...
Medical Xpress / Can chemo-resistant cancer cells be resensitized?
Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key protein, p300, may force damaged cancer cells into a state ...
Medical Xpress / CRISPR approach turns oncogene amplification into a weakness in multiple solid tumors
The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The best-known of these alterations is mutation, but it is not the only one. Sometimes, within a cell, a very ...
Medical Xpress / Brain network identified for effective treatment of Parkinson's disease
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion was reached by an interdisciplinary ...
Phys.org / Two rare 5th millennium BC fetal burials in Iran reveal variable prehistoric practices
In a study conducted by Dr. Mahdi Alirezazadeh and Dr. Hanan Bahranipoor, published in Archaeological Research in Asia, two exceptionally well-preserved fetal burials from Chaparabad, Iran, dating to the mid-5th millennium ...
Medical Xpress / Understanding how cancer cells use water pressure to move through the body
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the body, allowing them to invade ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking PTP1B protein may slow memory loss in Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is often measured in statistics: millions affected worldwide, cases rising sharply, costs climbing into the trillions. For families, the disease is experienced far more intimately. "It's a slow bereavement," ...
