Phys.org / Chitosan-based hydrogel membranes as transparent biomaterials for skin regeneration
IMDEA Materials Institute has developed mechanically tunable hydrogel membranes that closely mimic the mechanical environment of human skin while remaining highly biocompatible, representing an improved platform for skin ...
Tech Xplore / Building out the quantum computing toolkit
Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are few simple, standardized operations, known as "primitives," in the quantum toolkit that can help ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers find clue to solving the 'electrical bottleneck' in semiconductors
When the pathways through which electricity flows inside a semiconductor become blocked, device performance declines and power loss increases. A Korean research team has developed a new structure that could resolve this "electrical ...
Medical Xpress / Trauma triage is challenging: Study assesses how AI might help improve accuracy
Making triage decisions in a busy emergency room is tough enough; making triage decisions based on a hurried call with emergency medical staff responding at the scene of an accident is all the more challenging.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Blue zone longevity; soft tissue find predates dinosaurs; black hole collisions simplified
This week, researchers reported finding nanoplastics in Antarctic soils for the first time, suggesting they were delivered via long-range atmospheric transport. A study associates the use of hormonal birth control with the ...
Phys.org / Larger brain, smaller face: Human evolution took a different course than previously thought
A new study, published July 6, 2026, in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that two of the best-known trends in human evolution—brain growth and the reduction in the size of the face and jaw—may be far less attributable ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop AI technology to detect early warning signs of cerebrovascular disease at home
Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity ...
Phys.org / Bacteria turn dissolved uranium into stable compound in 130 days, study finds
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), together with Wismut GmbH and scientists from the University of Granada in Spain, have demonstrated for the first time that bacteria can convert uranium dissolved ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia rising across Latino populations, multidecade study finds
A new study led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Newcastle University in the U.K. finds that the share of adults living with dementia rose substantially across several Latin American ...
Medical Xpress / Novel technology could aid targeted lung cancer treatment
Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-fine bubbles tune drying ink droplets without chemical additives
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University studying inkjet printing have introduced ultra-fine bubbles into ink droplets and showed that their drying behavior can be tuned without additives. They discovered that the shape ...
Medical Xpress / Expert urges redesign for aged care systems
Experts are calling for a major overhaul of health and aged care systems to accommodate rising numbers of older people.
