Phys.org / Molecular chains unlock atomically precise nanoribbons for next-generation electronics
Scientists have developed a unique way to build electronic components so small they are made from chains of individual molecules—creating a toolbox to help build materials that could power the next generation of technology.
Medical Xpress / Tiny fiber probe monitors three key biomarkers at once, offering faster patient insight
A new fiber probe developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin delivers two major innovations in health monitoring to help both patients around the world and the clinicians who care for them. The probe can ...
Phys.org / Laser-plasma 'mirror' unlocks a new path to extreme light intensities
An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a practical route to dramatically boosting the intensity of high-power laser light.
Medical Xpress / Genetic test forecasts chemo response in breast cancer
A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that gene analysis of breast cancer tumors can identify patients who do not benefit from chemotherapy given before surgery. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, ...
Phys.org / Turning vibrations into value—a new catalyst converts CO₂ into useful CO
Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a catalyst that uses vibrational energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an important industrial feedstock. The work, published in the Journal ...
Medical Xpress / How different countries decide who gets a heart transplant
As demand for heart transplants continues to far exceed the number of available donor hearts, experts at the 46th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) ...
Medical Xpress / More children are surviving long enough for heart transplants—but not enough hearts exist, say experts
Advances in pediatric heart care are helping more children survive long enough to receive a transplant—but a critical shortage of donor hearts means too many are still dying while they wait, experts warned at the International ...
Medical Xpress / New guidelines highlight behavioral therapy for insomnia
Combining medications with behavioral therapy to treat chronic insomnia might not be best for all patients, a new practice guideline says. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) works best on its own, but can be ...
Tech Xplore / Needle-tip chip can secure pacemakers and insulin pumps against quantum attacks
As quantum computers advance, they are expected to be able to break tried-and-true security schemes that currently keep most sensitive data secure from attackers. Scientists and policymakers are working to design and implement ...
Medical Xpress / How red blood cells keep making hemoglobin under stress could reshape anemia treatment
Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry oxygen to tissues, even after shedding the vital structures they need to produce it.
Medical Xpress / How does imagination really work in the brain? New explanation upends what we knew
Your brain is currently expending about a fifth of your body's energy, and almost none of that is being used for what you're doing right now. Reading these words, feeling the weight of your body in a chair—all of this together ...
Phys.org / AI for molecular simulations may not need built-in physics to deliver strong results
Simulating how atoms and molecules move over time is a central challenge in computational chemistry and materials science. Classical machine learning approaches to molecular dynamics (MD) encode fundamental physical principles ...
