Phys.org / Mars Express orbiter captures craters on planet's Arabia Terra
Craters, craters, and yet more craters: this snapshot from ESA's Mars Express is packed full of them, each as fascinating as the last.
Phys.org / Tiny flows, big insights: Microfluidics system boosts super-resolution microscopy
Understanding how cells are organized and how their molecular components interact in a coordinated and cooperative manner is a central goal of modern life sciences. To answer these questions, researchers need to observe many ...
Medical Xpress / Bacteria found in mouth and gut may help protect against severe peanut allergic reactions
One of the big mysteries in food allergy is why two people with similar levels of peanut-specific antibodies can react so differently. It turns out the answer may be in the mouth and gut's bacteria. A new study, led by researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Power producers have financial incentives to block market integration despite cost savings, says study
Renewable energy is lowering electricity costs in some parts of the country, but those benefits aren't being seen by consumers everywhere because they're typically placed far away from demand centers. Better integrating electricity ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tool predicts best pancreatic cancer treatment
A new tool co-developed by investigators from Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University can predict which of two available chemotherapy options for pancreatic cancer would be more effective for an individual patient.
Tech Xplore / Simulated cats and elephants with touch-based memory help usher in new age of robotics
A new approach to simulating biologically inspired robotics can cut the design and training of tactile robots from eighteen months to two weeks, new research suggests. Published in Cyborg & Bionic Systems, the study applies ...
Phys.org / Moths use magnetic compass and visual cues to guide them during migration
Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling evidence on how geomagnetic ...
Phys.org / Australia's carbon markets risk penalizing Indigenous stewardship
Carbon markets rewarding the recovery of degraded environments risk penalizing long-term Indigenous stewardship, according to a coalition of experts writing in Nature Climate Change. The article by RMIT University environmental ...
Phys.org / The key to attacking 'undruggable' proteins: Transient clustering state reveals a moving target
Intrinsically disordered proteins lack a fixed structure, which is why they have been considered "undruggable" targets for drug development for years. However, these proteins play a key role in numerous diseases—ranging ...
Medical Xpress / Probiotic study at 12,740 feet links supplements to higher oxygen levels
Oxygen is critical to life. When levels of oxygen change, it can have immediate and lasting impacts on a person's health. Tatum Simonson, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine and John B. West Endowed Chair in respiratory ...
Medical Xpress / No more weekly injections? How lettuce cells could deliver GLP-1 pills
Research led by Penn Dental's Henry Daniell investigates the use of a lettuce-based, plant-encapsulated delivery platform as a new oral delivery of two GLP-1 drugs previously approved by the FDA in injectable form.
Tech Xplore / Will AI drones, robots and wearable sensors revolutionize workplace safety?
Around 60% of Canadian employees can expect their job to be transformed through artificial intelligence (AI). For many, AI will complement, rather than replace, their work. For some, it could prevent illness, injury or death.
