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 ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Building robust materials from start may ease critical mineral risks, perspective argues
Researchers at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) outline in a perspective paper how high-performance materials for batteries, hydrogen technologies, wind turbines, energy conversion, chemical ...
Medical Xpress / A popular joint pain supplement may accelerate dementia
New research has found an association between taking glucosamine, a popular over-the-counter supplement used for joint pain, and a higher likelihood of progressing from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. The ...
Phys.org / Predictive surrogates could cut quantum computing measurement overhead by more than 99.97%
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some tasks. Despite their potential, the use of these systems remains very ...
Phys.org / P53's five-hour rhythm may let resonance target gene networks on command
Can networks of genes be stimulated using resonance? Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute are investigating whether the protein p53, which activates a range of different genes, can be induced to communicate with the body's ...
Phys.org / Remote work is taking its toll on the mental health of American workers, researchers find
Working from home comes with some major pluses. It's more flexible, there's no more pesky commute, work-life balance improves, and you can even stay in your pajamas all day if you want. But according to a major study of more ...
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 / 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 / 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 ...
Phys.org / A look at the SpaceX IPO by the numbers
Elon Musk is all about big numbers—millions, billions, even trillions—and there are plenty of them associated with SpaceX and Musk's plans to take the rocket maker public.
