Tech Xplore / 'Spin-flip' in metal complexes opens a path beyond solar cell efficiency limits
In the fight against climate change, solar power is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. Every second, Earth receives an enormous amount of energy from the sun. Yet solar cells capture only a fraction of it, constrained ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted ultrasound may help the brain overcome fear more quickly
Neuroscientist Sjoerd Meijer of the Donders Institute at Radboud University has shown for the first time that targeted ultrasonic sound waves can help the brain overcome fear more quickly. These findings may open new avenues ...
Phys.org / More money, more problems? Study links name, image and likeness commitment to rising athlete stress
For decades, the college athlete's world has been split between the classroom and the playing field––and now there's a third role: chief marketing officer. Name, image and likeness policies provide athletes income through ...
Phys.org / No delta left behind? Study finds adaptation to rising seas is possible in most deltas... for now
Around the world, in nearly every delta, people can adapt to rising sea levels using today's technological capabilities, materials, and space, according to researchers from Utrecht University and Deltares. In their new study—the ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists pinpoint a skin alarm system pathway that links local damage to systemic immune responses
Skin, our largest organ, acts as a protective barrier against pathogens that try to invade our bodies while constantly monitoring for potential threats. In the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, reside keratinocytes, ...
Phys.org / Electronics of the future: Ultra-efficient graphene switch developed at nanometer scale
A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with colleagues from Japan, has taken an important step toward the next generation of electronics. The scientists achieved highly precise control of the internal ...
Tech Xplore / Efficient carbon capture 'viciazite' materials can desorb below 60°C
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it reaches the atmosphere is a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Even though carbon capture technologies have existed for decades, their widespread adoption has been ...
Medical Xpress / Breakdown products from 'eco-friendly' plastics impede fetal development in mice, study shows
When the "eco-friendly" bioplastic, polylactic acid (PLA), biodegrades, the resulting nanoplastics can accumulate in the fetuses of pregnant mice and interfere with fetal growth. Yichao Huang and De-Xiang Xu of Anhui Medical ...
Phys.org / Pike eat more as water warms, threatening native species
Rising temperatures in a Southcentral Alaska river have led to a hungrier population of invasive northern pike, a trend that could imperil native salmon and other fish species. A University of Alaska Fairbanks-led research ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II mission will take an astronaut crew around the Moon: The long road to launch
NASA is once again shooting for the moon, for the first time since the 1970s. As soon as April 2026, NASA will launch its Artemis II mission, using the Space Launch System heavy lift rocket to send a crewed spacecraft, called ...
Medical Xpress / A new immunotherapy target? How SRC-3 in Tregs may reshape solid-tumor treatment
In 2023, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine led by the late Dr. Bert O'Malley discovered that the steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) in immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) plays a decisive role in shaping ...
Medical Xpress / Staying active throughout middle age can cut women's risk of premature death in half
Women who consistently met physical activity guidelines throughout middle age had half the risk of dying from any cause compared to women who remained inactive, according to a paper published in PLOS Medicine by Binh Nguyen ...
