Phys.org / Flatworms reveal exploding immune cells that kill surrounding tissue
Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular detonation so fast and complete that the cell vanishes within minutes, leaving no trace behind. This discovery ...
Phys.org / A new strategy for assembling π-conjugated panels into square molecules revealed
A research group has developed a new method for selectively synthesizing three-dimensional macrocycles,⁽¹⁾ in which four panels are arranged in a square, by connecting planar π-conjugated molecules⁽²⁾ at right angles.
Science X / A routine soccer skill sets off brain injury signals, and the blood shows it fast
The iconic header goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in a Manchester United vs. Real Madrid Champions League game was a marvel to watch. While heading a soccer ball can help a team climb the rankings, studies suggest it may ...
Phys.org / A very strong El Niño is approaching. Here's what we can expect
El Niño is a recurring climate event with impacts across the globe. It has three phases: one cold (known as La Niña), one neutral, and one warm (El Niño).
Phys.org / Helmet hoard off Benicarló coast trades its Roman label for far stranger medieval origins
For more than three decades, it was thought to be a relic of the Roman era. New research, however, has shown it to be a key source of evidence for understanding the commercial and military networks of the Late Medieval Mediterranean.
Phys.org / Tiny-armed alvarezsauroid dinosaurs might have been insect eaters, fossil scans suggest
Dinosaurs are estimated to have roamed Earth for over 165 million years, gradually evolving over time to survive in changing environments. Among the many fascinating groups of dinosaurs known to have lived on our planet are ...
Science X / Full faces sharpen emotion recognition, even when eye details are blurred
A teary eye, a furrowed eyebrow, creases at the edge of the eye tell us what a person is feeling without them having to express it with words. New data indicate that eyes might be the window to the soul, but with curtains ...
Medical Xpress / New noninvasive tool may allow early detection of dangerous intestinal disease in preemies
A new noninvasive technology, called broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS), has promise for reliably detecting necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants at earlier stages, before this devastating intestinal disease ...
Phys.org / Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question
University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104 (Te-104), an important step in answering a century-old question and understanding ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineered materials can store and release hydrogen at room temperature
Energy engineers worldwide are working on various new technologies that could help to limit greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and address climate change. One proposed alternative to polluting fossil fuels, such as petrol, ...
Tech Xplore / US gamers getting older as industry reports growth
Video games are having a moment in the United States—but the players are getting older.
Tech Xplore / Semiconductors enter 'multi-tasking' era: New device cuts required components by 75% and quadruples processing speed
Less than two decades after smartphones fit into the palm of our hands, artificial intelligence is now running on devices worn on our wrists. The challenge is that while devices continue to shrink, the amount of data they ...
