Medical Xpress / FDA panel backs first-of-its-kind flu vaccine using mRNA technology
A new kind of flu vaccine moved a step closer to the U.S. market Thursday as federal health advisers recommended approval of the first made with the same mRNA technology that was key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
Phys.org / Reversible chirality switching in MoS₂ generates spin currents without magnets
A newly developed method allows researchers to dynamically switch chirality—a particular lack of mirror symmetry—to generate spin currents in semiconductors, researchers from Science Tokyo report. Their approach relies on ...
Phys.org / Quasi-1D material unlocks electric control of charge waves beyond standard limits
The ability to control the movement of negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) is central to the functioning of all modern electronic devices. This control is typically attained using a gate, an electrode via which ...
Phys.org / Semiconductor chip writes 64 DNA sequences in water, setting new enzymatic benchmark
Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences and now synthesizing ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Do high-pressure environments encourage moral disengagement?
Why do individuals and organizations sometimes rationalize decisions that conflict with their stated values? According to Leah P. Hollis, professor of education policy studies in the Penn State College of Education, the answer ...
Phys.org / From prejudice to harm—current policies targeting trans people follow a clear pattern of escalation
Public debates about transgender issues are often framed as disagreements over evidence or safety. In my new article published in the International Journal of Transgender Health, I argue current policy shifts are better understood ...
Medical Xpress / An experimental molecule 'reprograms' the brain's defenses against Alzheimer's disease
A team has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their protective function against Alzheimer's disease. The study, published in the journal Cell Death and ...
Phys.org / Physicists identify upper limit to resistivity in a pure metal
Experimental atomic physicists have discovered there is a maximum amount of electrical resistance, or resistivity, that can result from collisions between electrons.
Phys.org / Webb and Hubble reveal the history of a relic of Milky Way's formation
Researchers using two of humanity's most powerful observatories—NASA's James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes—have definitively shown that Terzan 5 is not a globular star cluster, as it was once classified, offering new insight ...
Dialog / Slaughter in the water: Can the Ramsar Convention protect African waterbirds?
The Ramsar Convention is the world's longest-standing international treaty for wetland and waterbird protection. Signed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl ...
Phys.org / Volcanic shifts suggest Andes mountain growth comes in powerful bursts rather than a slow and steady rise
Scientists have discovered that the southern Andes Mountains don't rise slowly and steadily as previously thought. Instead, the range builds itself in short, powerful "pulses" every few million years.
