Phys.org / Cell colonies under pressure—how growth can prevent motion
The interaction between growth and the active migration of cells plays a crucial role in the spatial mixing of growing cell colonies. This connection was discovered by scientists from the Department of Living Matter Physics ...
Phys.org / Unveiling the 3D crystal secrets of defective nanoparticles
Nanomaterials are the future of modern technology. From powering batteries to improving clean energy systems and efficient catalysts, nanomaterials are everywhere. Their unique properties often arise from the precise arrangements ...
Phys.org / Nanostructured catalyst produces green hydrogen and glycerate with improved energy efficiency
A research group led by Prof. Chen Liang at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed a high-entropy electrocatalyst that achieves efficient production ...
Tech Xplore / Skia technique decodes 'shadow branches' to boost data center efficiency
What happens when trailblazing engineers and industry professionals team up? The answer may transform the future of computing efficiency for modern data centers.
Medical Xpress / Stents and bypass surgery more comparable than once thought
A multinational study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine has found that the risks of major complications after stenting or bypass surgery are similar, even several years out.
Medical Xpress / Many young adults have high long-term risk for cardiovascular disease, study finds
A recent Northwestern Medicine study published in JAMA has found that 1 in 7 U.S. adults between the ages of 30 and 59 years have a high 30-year risk for cardiovascular disease.
Phys.org / A simpler way to make microgels for programmable drug release
A new straightforward way to make an injectable gel capable of releasing multiple drugs at specific speeds improves scalability and access to the technique, according to a University of Michigan study.
Phys.org / Mayflies retain more mercury as adults when selenium is added to highly contaminated water
What if counteracting mercury contamination in waterways could be as simple as adding selenium? That proposition has gained traction among some scientists and governments, but new research from Cornell and the U.S. Geological ...
Phys.org / Imaging tool lets scientists observe genome dynamics in real time
The human genome is like a big ball of yarn, made up of 3 billion molecular units arranged in sequence and then wrapped up around itself. Within this ball of yarn are your genes, which are regions of DNA that get copied and ...
Phys.org / Bacteria's mysterious viruses can fan flames of antibiotic damage, according to new model
Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there's a frenzy of viruses called bacteriophages ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists work toward a vaccine for filoviruses, Ebola's deadly kin
Filoviruses are among the globe's most lethal—indeed, so dangerous they can be handled only in high-security laboratories. Yet, more than five decades after the discovery of the Marburg virus and nearly 50 years after the ...
Phys.org / A hidden control center: How bacteria regulate their attack strategies
Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have uncovered a surprising way in which harmful bacteria prepare to attack their hosts. The discovery, led by Ph.D. students Lior Aroeti, Netanel Elbaz under the guidance ...
