Phys.org / Growing energy efficiency divide making renters sweat
Households are motivated to reduce their energy consumption and help mitigate climate change, but unaffordable technologies and rental restrictions are preventing them from doing so, according to a recent Charles Darwin University ...
Phys.org / A meteorite impact may have once rained gold on Western Australia
We're used to a lot of different natural things falling out of the sky. These can include snow, rain and sometimes even frogs (yes, really). All of these relate to weather phenomena.
Phys.org / Antibody-guided nanoparticles target blood cancer cells in bone marrow
New research co-led by Indiana University School of Medicine scientists presents a significant step toward more precise and effective cancer treatments by using a breakthrough method to deliver therapies directly to cancer ...
Tech Xplore / Water locked in 1-nanometer channels could enable safer energy storage
Can pure water store electrical energy? A research team led by Dr. Vasily Artemov within the Cluster of Excellence "BlueMat—Water-Driven Materials" at Hamburg University of Technology has now shown that it can. By confining ...
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions linked to rising famine risk across China's history
Large volcanic eruptions may have played a bigger role in triggering historical famines across China than previously understood, according to a new study that traced links between eruptions, climate disruption, and food shortages ...
Phys.org / Study offers guidance to schools looking to create outdoor education programs
Just outside the doors of Stearns Junior-Senior High School in Millinocket, Maine, students and staff have access to world-class outdoor recreation opportunities: paddling, mountain biking, skiing and, of course, hiking in ...
Phys.org / Small optical component could change how telescopes view the sun
A new telescope technology—measuring just 6 millimeters (0.24 inches) in diameter—could improve how future space missions study and monitor the sun while simplifying onboard hardware and reducing costs.
Phys.org / Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers laboratory-grade precision in a device ...
Phys.org / Custom protein binders zero in on near-identical disease targets with unprecedented selectivity
In the human body, the boundary between health and severe illness can be microscopic. For decades, molecular scientists have grappled with a frustrating biological reality: The proteins driving devastating diseases often ...
Medical Xpress / Teens frequently encounter alcohol industry- and influencer-generated alcohol content on social media platforms
Social media platforms popular with teens regularly expose them to alcohol-related content, and often that content is created by influencers or sources in the alcohol industry. In a study published in Alcohol: Clinical and ...
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular eraser' destroys cancerous mRNA before protein forms, reshaping cancer cells
Many of the deadliest forms of cancer are caused by a pathological mutation in the RAS protein. Yet, to date, no effective treatment for this cancer protein has been found. A new research approach aims to prevent the protein ...
Phys.org / Extreme coastal flooding surges worldwide as rising seas rewrite 100-year odds
Human-caused sea-level rise has significantly increased the frequency of extreme coastal flooding worldwide, according to a new study led by a Tulane University researcher. The research, published in the journal Nature Climate ...
