Phys.org / Study shows digital hotlines make it easier for survivors to reach out
Use of chat and text services has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Rachel Joy Voth Schrag, a UT Arlington professor of social work. Understanding how survivors use these digital channels, she said, is critical ...
Phys.org / From theory to safety: New model predicts how combustion scenarios unfold
Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation waves. The study relies ...
Medical Xpress / Some infant formula fats may contribute to early liver disease
Certain fats used in some infant formulas may strain the developing liver and contribute to early signs of steatotic liver disease, according to a new study led by researchers in Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and ...
Phys.org / Playbook developed to help businesses survive social media firestorms
Sexist. Dystopian. This was how critics labeled a 30-second Peloton holiday ad in 2019 that featured a man giving a woman an exercise bike as a gift. Backlash was so severe that Peloton's stock fell by about 9%, after social ...
Phys.org / This mysterious protein punctures our cells—now researchers know how
The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's systems in balance. A new ...
Medical Xpress / Neurosurgeons are really good at removing brain tumors—they're about to get even better
When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much tumor as possible. This ...
Phys.org / Molecular identification of an enzyme reported over 60 years ago
From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but their molecular identification among (function unknown) hypothetical genes (proteins) is difficult. ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid iron flux test could help improve cartilage repair through cell therapy
Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized Medicine (CAMP), an interdisciplinary research group (IRG) of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), in collaboration with Massachusetts ...
Phys.org / Iron and blue LEDs synthesize natural molecules, cutting the need for expensive chiral components
Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic synthesis due to their durability and the ability to tune their function by modifying the ligands attached ...
Medical Xpress / Oral semaglutide found to lower risk of heart failure events in people with type 2 diabetes
An international clinical trial has found that an oral form of semaglutide, a widely used diabetes drug, reduced the risk of serious heart failure events in people with type 2 diabetes who already had heart failure. The findings, ...
Phys.org / Earth's mantle may have been cooler than thought before Pangea's breakup
When the supercontinent Pangea began to fragment around 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic, it reshaped the face of the planet. Vast new oceans opened, continents drifted apart and the familiar geography of today ...
Medical Xpress / After the heart stops: Circulatory-death donors now supply nearly half of organs
Organ donation after the heart stops beating, a practice called donation after circulatory death, has gone from rare to routine in the United States, a new study shows. This shift over the past 25 years, aided by technological ...
