Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have developed a new way to help gravitational-wave observatories see farther into the universe by solving one of their biggest challenges: tiny heat-induced distortions ...
Phys.org / Atomic channels can separate rare earth elements from each other without using toxic chemicals
Rare earth elements like lanthanum, neodymium and dysprosium are used to build the electric motor in your car, the LED lights in your house and the MRI machine at your doctor's office. But first, they have to be mined and ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly 49,000 brain scans reveal aging signatures linked to dementia, addiction and mental illness
People with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, alcohol addiction or psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia show increased brain aging, each in specific patterns within the brain, according to a study published in PLOS ...
Phys.org / Even a slight overproduction of tubulin can tip the balance of cellular health, study shows
For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little and too much can compromise essential cellular functions. A team from the University of Geneva ...
Medical Xpress / Mental disorders surge among young adults
Mental disorders among young adults have surged, with new research showing the proportion of young Australians meeting diagnostic criteria for anxiety, mood or substance disorders increased from 23.4% to 36.2% from 2007 to ...
