Phys.org / Novel nanosheets boost clot clearing while limiting systemic bleeding
Thrombotic disorders—such as ischemic stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis—are principal contributors to global mortality. However, conventional thrombolytic therapies are often constrained ...
Phys.org / AI model uses molecular energy to predict the most stable atom arrangements
Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of molecular design lies in finding how to ...
Phys.org / In-situ sensor enables real-time monitoring of soil nitrate nitrogen
Accurate measurement of soil NO₃⁻-N is essential for precision fertilization and stable crop yields. Real-time monitoring of NO₃⁻-N has long been a challenge in agriculture. Conventional soil nutrient testing relies ...
Phys.org / Breeding a better cucumber: New genetic map reveals 171,892 structural variants
Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions. Yet breeding improved varieties—plants that are more resilient, produce better-shaped fruit, ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrafast nanolasers mimic how the brain imagines unseen parts of the world
A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world. The study, ...
Phys.org / A new inhalable treatment for tuberculosis: Once-weekly nanoparticles match daily oral rifampin in mice
Researchers at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo have developed a new inhalable form of tuberculosis (TB) treatment that could significantly reduce the burden of current therapy. ...
Medical Xpress / Seasonal flu antibodies can also target avian flu to build immunity against potential pandemic risks
Are seasonal flu antibodies also effective against avian flu? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has shown that a specific type of antibody associated with the former virus—already present throughout the population—may ...
Phys.org / Topological antenna could pave the way for 6G networks
Using ideas borrowed from topological photonics, researchers in Singapore, France and the US have designed a compact antenna capable of handling information-rich terahertz (THz) signals. Reporting their results in Nature ...
Phys.org / Satellite record shows boreal forests expanded 12% and shifted north since 1985
The boreal forest—the world's largest terrestrial biome—is warming faster than any other forest type. To understand the changing dynamics of boreal forests, Min Feng and colleagues analyzed the biome from 1985 to 2020, ...
Phys.org / Chang'e-6 samples constrain lunar impact flux and illuminate early impact history
Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the CAS Aerospace Information Research Institute, and other institutions, have revised the decades-old lunar crater chronology ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI starts testing ads in ChatGPT
OpenAI has begun placing ads in the basic versions of its ChatGPT chatbot, a bet that users will not mind the interruptions as the company seeks revenue as its costs soar.
Medical Xpress / Shorter treatment regimens are safe options for preventing active tuberculosis, study finds
A study comparing one- and three-month antibiotic treatments to prevent active tuberculosis (TB) finds that a high percentage of patients successfully completed both regimens and suffered few adverse side effects. A team ...
