Phys.org / From static papers to living models: Turning limb development research into interactive science
The choreographed movements that cells perform to form complex biological shapes, like our hands, have fascinated scientists for centuries. Now, researchers at EMBL Barcelona have launched LimbNET, an open-access online platform ...
Medical Xpress / Tricking the brain to make exercise feel easier
Why do some people find a short jog exhausting, while others seem to run effortlessly? Of course, part of the answer lies in training and muscle strength. But the brain also plays a role, particularly in how we perceive effort.
Phys.org / Astronomers warn satellite growth may contaminate nearly all space telescope data
Light from the half a million satellites that humanity is planning to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years could contaminate almost all the images taken by space telescopes, NASA astronomers warned Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / Airplane and hospital air is cleaner than you might think
When it comes to the air in public places, germophobes can breathe a bit easier. According to a new Northwestern University study, the ambient air on airplanes and in hospitals mostly contains harmless microbes typically ...
Phys.org / Self-adapting fiber component tackles heat challenges in high-power fiber lasers
Thulium fiber lasers, operating at a wavelength of 2 micrometers, are valued for applications in medicine, materials processing, and defense. Their longer wavelength makes stray light less damaging compared to the more common ...
Phys.org / Embryos show specialized asymmetry at the earliest stage
As nearly one in six couples experience fertility issues, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an increasingly common form of reproductive technology. However, there are still many unanswered scientific questions about the basic ...
Medical Xpress / Visualizing neural connections in 3D with a new microscopy technique
Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published in the Proceedings of ...
Phys.org / Euclid dataset of a million galaxies proves connection between galaxy mergers and AGN
Astronomers have long debated the role of galaxy mergers in powering active supermassive black holes. Now an unprecedented dataset of a million galaxies from the Euclid telescope provides evidence that mergers play a dominant ...
Phys.org / Tightening the net around the elusive sterile neutrino
Neutrinos, though nearly invisible, are among the most numerous matter particles in the universe. The Standard Model recognizes three types, but the discovery of neutrino oscillations revealed they have mass and can change ...
Tech Xplore / Wearable device offloads up to 90% of body armor weight, improving comfort and mobility
Vanderbilt researchers have developed a lightweight wearable device that shifts body armor weight off the shoulders and back of soldiers, helping reduce pain and injury risk.
Phys.org / Electrical oscillations in microtubules link cytoskeleton to neuronal signaling
Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain.
Medical Xpress / A common childhood virus can drive bladder cancer development
Tackling a common childhood virus could open the door to preventing bladder cancer, according to new research.
