Phys.org / Astronomers unveil 400 sibling star clusters in the Milky Way
Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide insight into how stars form ...
Medical Xpress / The 'Miracle Mineral Solution'—amazing cure or toxic illusion?
Miracle Mineral Solution, also known as MMS, has been marketed for years as a purported miracle cure for various conditions, including cancer, autism, and COVID-19. MMS is the marketing name for sodium chlorite (NaClO₂), ...
Medical Xpress / Prototype device restores lost smell by teaching the brain to feel odors
There is new hope for people who have lost their smell. Scientists have successfully tested a breakthrough device that lets people detect the presence of certain odors. This innovative system helps them "smell" again by translating ...
Phys.org / Quantum photonic chip integrates light-emitting molecules with single-mode waveguides
Photonic quantum processors, devices that can process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects and particles of light (photons), have shown promise for numerous applications, ranging from computations and communications ...
Phys.org / Nanoscale 'Bragg gratings' on photonic chips suppress noise in laser light
Researchers at the University of Sydney have cracked a long-standing problem in microchip-scale lasers by carving tiny "speed bumps" into the devices' optical cavity in their quest to produce exceptionally "clean" light. ...
Medical Xpress / High-intensity training improves muscle function in inflammatory muscle disease, study suggests
High-intensity interval training boosts fitness and muscle endurance more effectively than traditional home exercise programs in people recently diagnosed with inflammatory muscle disease. That is the conclusion of a new ...
Phys.org / 'Stick and glue' method enables more precise biomolecule tracking in cells
A team of researchers at IOCB Prague headed by Dr. Tomáš Slanina has developed a new method for labeling molecules with fluorescent dyes that surpasses existing approaches in both precision and stability. The new fluorescent ...
Phys.org / Rare stone tool cache found in Australian outback tells story of trade and ingenuity
About 170 years ago, a large bundle of stone tools was deliberately buried close to a waterhole in the remote Australian outback. Who buried them and for what purpose? Why were they never retrieved?
Medical Xpress / MRI-based study finds gender gap in knee injuries
One of the largest MRI-based studies comparing knee injuries between men and women reveals surprising differences in injury patterns based on gender and age.
Dialog / Patients are more than participants: What meaningful engagement really looks like—and why it improves health research
When we talk about "patient engagement" in research, it can sound like a slogan on a grant application rather than something that changes people's lives.
Medical Xpress / Why important genes 'go quiet' as we get older
The human gut renews itself faster than any other tissue: every few days, new cells are created from specialized stem cells. However, as we get older, epigenetic changes build up in these stem cells. These are chemical markers ...
Tech Xplore / Soft robots harvest ambient heat for self-sustained motion
A warm hand is enough to drive motion in tiny Salmonella-inspired robots that harness molecular-level dynamic bonding.
