Medical Xpress / Scientists pinpoint a skin alarm system pathway that links local damage to systemic immune responses
Skin, our largest organ, acts as a protective barrier against pathogens that try to invade our bodies while constantly monitoring for potential threats. In the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, reside keratinocytes, ...
Phys.org / Electronics of the future: Ultra-efficient graphene switch developed at nanometer scale
A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with colleagues from Japan, has taken an important step toward the next generation of electronics. The scientists achieved highly precise control of the internal ...
Phys.org / Making quantum vibrations nonlinear to enable phonon-phonon interactions
Phonons are the quantum units of mechanical vibration. They describe how motion propagates through a solid at the smallest possible scales, in much the same way that electrons describe electric currents. Because phonons can ...
Phys.org / First microlasers capable of detecting individual molecules and ions could one day aid diagnosis
Scientists have created the first microlasers capable of detecting individual molecules and even single atomic ions, a breakthrough that could significantly advance early disease diagnosis and molecular-scale medical testing. ...
Phys.org / Pike eat more as water warms, threatening native species
Rising temperatures in a Southcentral Alaska river have led to a hungrier population of invasive northern pike, a trend that could imperil native salmon and other fish species. A University of Alaska Fairbanks-led research ...
Tech Xplore / Memristor demonstrates use in fully analog hardware-based neural network
As AI processing demands reach the limits of current CMOS technology, neuromorphic computing—hardware and software that mimic the human brain's structure—can help process information faster and more efficiently. A new memristor ...
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed ATLAS platform helps model cancer cell clusters behind metastasis
Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer cells encounter as they ...
Phys.org / More money, more problems? Study links name, image and likeness commitment to rising athlete stress
For decades, the college athlete's world has been split between the classroom and the playing field––and now there's a third role: chief marketing officer. Name, image and likeness policies provide athletes income through ...
Phys.org / Malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in South America are evolving to evade insecticides
Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes—a major vector of malaria in South America—are evolving in response to insecticides, which may make them harder to kill and malaria more difficult to control, according to a new study led by ...
Phys.org / Bio-based polymer offers a sustainable solution to 'forever chemical' cleanup
Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered a renewable, bio-based polymer membrane capable of efficiently capturing toxic "forever chemicals" from water, offering a potential new route to more sustainable water ...
Tech Xplore / Web application turns indoor green walls into smart, living systems breathing life into buildings
Step into a modern office tower or hospital, and the air you breathe is often carefully engineered, filtered, circulated, and cooled at a high energy cost. Now imagine those same spaces quietly breathing on their own, supported ...
Medical Xpress / Replacing TV time with reading or desk work may lower dementia risk
New research distinguishing between passive and mentally active sitting in association with dementia has found that adults who engaged in extended durations of mentally passive sedentary behaviors had a higher risk of dementia. ...
