Phys.org / New ligand design balances radical generation and catalyst regeneration for challenging chemical reactions
Radicals, atoms or molecules that readily react with other substances to form new bonds, are useful tools for building complex substances such as pharmaceuticals. But even when a radical is generated efficiently, the reaction ...
Phys.org / New nanoparticle drug-delivery method may improve treatment for endometriosis
Researchers have engineered a drug treatment that shows rapid effectiveness against endometriosis in early testing, laying the foundation for a potential therapy for an incurable, chronic disease that affects 1 in 10 women. ...
Medical Xpress / Kratom cases climb sharply across the US
Addiction treatment centers across the United States are seeing more patients who have become dependent on kratom and a stronger compound made from it, known as 7-OH.
Phys.org / Plasma technology could help plant-based packaging replace plastic
A new study has found a sustainable and scalable way to improve the durability of plant-based packaging; it's a discovery that researchers say could help curb the environmental footprint of plastic. Researchers used advanced ...
Phys.org / Game delays for lightning may be annoying, but they save lives—a sports meteorologist explains the risk
When nearby lightning forces officials to delay a big college football game, the backlash from fans can be fierce, especially if the sky over the stadium is still mostly blue.
Medical Xpress / Newborn girls and boys show different attention patterns within hours of birth
Cambridge scientists have shown that girls and boys differ in what they pay attention to, even at birth. Since these differences are present so early, it is possible they emerge due to prenatal factors. The findings suggest ...
Phys.org / A 'rebellious' exoplanet orbits in the opposite direction of its star
A star and its planets form when a cloud of gas and dust collapses in on itself somewhere in space. The cloud then forms a disk around the nascent star, within which the planets will form. This protostar and its disk then ...
Phys.org / Under stress, bacterial RNA and proteins tell different stories
During infection, bacteria encounter rapidly changing and stressful environments inside the body. To understand how they adapt, researchers often measure messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries information from genes that can ...
Tech Xplore / Toward physical AI: When the hardware becomes the neural network
Digital computing using silicon chips has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life and enabled the remarkable growth of artificial intelligence. But as AI models scale up, that growth comes with increasing demands for ...
Medical Xpress / Two protective genetic pathways may converge to reduce Alzheimer's disease risk
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia worldwide. Although the APOE ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, not all carriers develop dementia, indicating that other ...
Medical Xpress / Changing the way we age: Discovery could help preserve muscle strength
A groundbreaking discovery at the University of Missouri could help older adults maintain the muscle strength they need to stay active and independent, whether that means safely crossing the street or playing with their grandchildren.
Phys.org / The state of sex among Gen Z: Is the sex recession real?
The Kinsey Institute surveyed 2,373 U.S. adults ages 18–29 to understand attitudes and behaviors behind the so-called sex recession and how young adults are navigating sex, dating and relationships today.
