Phys.org / Engineered E. coli convert kimchi radish waste into biodegradable bioplastic
Every year, thousands of tons of radish by-products generated during kimchi production are discarded despite containing valuable carbon and nutrient resources. Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) have developed ...
Phys.org / AI exposes devastating impact of bomb fishing on coral reefs
Illegal bomb fishing is causing extensive damage to some of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs, according to a new pilot study involving Lancaster Environment Centre coral reef researcher Dr. Tim Lamont.
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy found effective against a subtype of difficult-to-treat ovarian cancer
A research group has revealed through studies in humans and mice that a subset of clear cell ovarian cancers, which have been considered difficult to treat with anticancer drugs and immunotherapy, responds to immunotherapy.
Phys.org / Rings forged from meteorites may have been fashionable among ancient Greek elites
Meteorites provided a rare but ready source of iron for ancient Bronze Age cultures before smelting became common. A new study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, sheds light on how the ancient Minoan and ...
Phys.org / Active particles could make stable glasses stronger without catastrophic brittle failure
The strongest glasses have an Achilles' heel that causes them to fail catastrophically when pushed past their limit. They do not bend or stretch, as all damage concentrates into a single plane and the material fails in an ...
Tech Xplore / By combining three electrical signals, researchers catch faults earlier
A new diagnostic method could allow electricity substations to detect hidden insulation faults in relay-protection circuits earlier than conventional testing, according to research in the International Journal of Energy Technology ...
Phys.org / When can your child stay home alone? Neuroscience suggests we're asking the wrong question
Would you trust your child to stay home alone? For many caregivers, the answer depends on age. But when it comes to safety and independence, neuroscience suggests a different question may be more important: Is your child ...
Phys.org / AI companies look to the ocean as a place to put more data centers
The artificial intelligence boom is driving unprecedented demand for data centers, raising concerns about their growing energy consumption, water use and carbon footprint. These challenges are making companies look beyond ...
Medical Xpress / New gas-switching approach could one day make deep-sea decompression safer and faster
Deep-sea divers must be careful to prevent decompression sickness, also known as "the bends," when ascending from the high-pressure depths of the ocean. Failing to do so can result in anything from muscle cramps and skin ...
Phys.org / Are zoos ready for the changing climate?
When people think about climate change and animals, they might picture melting sea ice, drought-stricken landscapes or species struggling in the wild. Far less attention is given to the animals living in our care. Yet as ...
Medical Xpress / Curiosity has its own neural signal: Brain separates valuable information from water rewards in mice
Often, humans and other animals seek information that can help them complete tasks and attain desired rewards. In some cases, however, they seek information driven simply by curiosity and a desire to obtain knowledge for ...
Medical Xpress / New way to help CAR-T cells fight solid tumors could change cancer treatment
For more than a decade, CAR-T cell therapy has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in cancer medicine. By reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer, doctors have produced remarkable results against certain ...
