Medical Xpress / X-ray imaging captures the brain's intricate connections
An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the Paul Scherrer Institute, has developed a new imaging protocol to capture mouse brain cell connections in precise detail. In work published ...
Phys.org / Uncovering a new genetic code in archaea opens doors for bioengineering applications
The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in which one or two additional ...
Phys.org / Ancient hominin fossils reveal two human ancestors lived side by side
With the help of newly identified bones, an enigmatic 3.4-million-year-old hominin foot found in 2009, is assigned to a species different from that of the famous fossil Lucy providing further proof that two ancient species ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metamaterial can morph into more configurations than there are atoms in the universe
The Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent maTErials (We-Xite) lab, led by engineering assistant professor Osama R. Bilal, has developed a reconfigurable metamaterial that can control sound waves—bending them, dampening ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast UV-C laser pulses generated and detected using 2D materials
Scientists have developed a new platform for the generation and detection of ultrashort UV-C laser pulses on femtosecond timescales. This breakthrough could unlock new opportunities for transforming optical wireless communication ...
Medical Xpress / Possible therapeutic approach to treat diabetic nerve damage discovered
Nerve damage is one of the most common and burdensome complications of diabetes. Millions of patients worldwide suffer from pain, numbness, and restricted movement, largely because damaged nerve fibers do not regenerate sufficiently. ...
Phys.org / Corral technique measures fragile quantum states in magnet-superconductor hybrids from afar
Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the University of Hamburg ...
Medical Xpress / Kimchi acts as a 'precision regulator' for the immune system, 12-week clinical trial suggests
Amid concerns about the simultaneous spread of multiple respiratory diseases, such as colds and influenza, with the change of seasons in current times, a clinical study has scientifically proven that kimchi, a traditional ...
Tech Xplore / New polymer electrolyte design promises safer, longer-lasting solid-state lithium batteries
A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated a simple yet effective method to extend the lifespan of all-solid-state batteries—by simply stretching film-shaped electrolytes to improve safety and performance.
Phys.org / Public trust in science eroded by UN climate change language, study suggests
The United Nations' climate change body may unintentionally be eroding public trust in science because of the way it communicates risk, new University of Essex research shows.
Phys.org / Plants use engineering principles to push through hard soil
Across the globe, soil compaction is becoming an ever more serious challenge. Heavy vehicles and machinery in modern agriculture compress the soil to such an extent that crops struggle to grow. In many regions, the problem ...
Tech Xplore / How 'digital twins' could help prevent cyber-attacks on the food industry
Earlier this year, a cyberattack on British retailer Marks & Spencer caused widespread disruption across its operations. Stock shortages, delayed deliveries, and logistical chaos rippled through the retailer's network.
