Phys.org / Chemical physicists quantitatively model electron interactions in real quantum materials
A team of scientists from Caltech and Yale University has shown for the first time how to accurately quantify an important quantum phenomenon in metals, called the Kondo effect, for specific real materials. Unlike previous ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-human pilot trial improves stem cell collection and delivery for sickle cell gene therapy
Patients with sickle cell disease are often hesitant to undergo transformative gene therapy—the current lengthy process requires multiple hospital visits to collect enough stem cells. Researchers from Boston Children's Hospital ...
Phys.org / Gut bacteria mostly compete—but cooperation finds a way
Understanding how bacteria influence one another is essential for understanding how microbial communities are formed and maintained. Researchers at Umeå University have now systematically mapped interactions between common ...
Medical Xpress / 'Supportive' brain cells may actively drive cognitive decline
Brain cells that produce the protective coating around nerve fibers can become dysfunctional with age and may actively contribute to cognitive decline, according to new research.
Phys.org / Nepal's catastrophic flood shows disaster preparedness must be a shared responsibility
The catastrophic flood in Nepal and Tibet is a devastating reminder that disasters rarely occur in isolation.
Medical Xpress / Calcium heart scans sharpen risk estimates mainly for borderline-risk adults
It's an increasingly popular scan that measures calcium in the heart's arteries and helps predict the risk of future heart disease. But according to a new Northwestern Medicine study, the quick and inexpensive test—known ...
Phys.org / The little red dots of our cosmos might hide something big
Little red dots may reside in small, dense galaxies with total masses equivalent to around 1 billion times that of the sun, according to research published in Nature Astronomy.
Phys.org / How plants evolved a molecular switch to cope with heat
As climate change drives more frequent and intense heat waves, plants face growing challenges to survive and remain productive. Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, KU Leuven and their international collaborators have uncovered ...
Phys.org / AI finds six ways to print rocket-grade alloy on commercial 3D printers
Washington State University researchers used artificial intelligence to find a more efficient, less expensive way to 3D-print a high-performance metal alloy, saving researchers from needing to painstakingly test more than ...
Medical Xpress / Congo begins vaccinations to fight the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history
Congo on Thursday began vaccinating people against Ebola as health authorities work to slow the fastest-growing outbreak of the disease in history.
Medical Xpress / Small-molecule inhibitors shown to promote robust antitumor immunity
Researchers in Purdue University's College of Pharmacy have developed and validated a new series of small-molecule inhibitors that promote antitumor immunity and hold promise as anticancer agents.
Phys.org / Tiny atomic changes could lead to smarter wireless technology
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown that making extremely small changes to the structure of a material can dramatically improve its ability to respond to electrical signals. Published recently in Science ...
