Phys.org / What Renaissance readers left behind in haircare books
What if the pages of an old book could tell us who touched them, what medicines they made, and even how their bodies responded to treatment?
Phys.org / We discovered an ancient 'party boat' in the waters of Alexandria. Here's what might have happened on board
Beneath the shifting waters of Alexandria's eastern harbor, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, lie the drowned remnants of a once-splendid city—ports, palaces and temples swallowed by the sea. Submerged by earthquakes and ...
Medical Xpress / Guns marketed for personal safety fuel public health crisis in Black communities
Leon Harris, 35, is intimately familiar with the devastation guns can inflict. Robbers shot him in the back nearly two decades ago, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. The bullet remains lodged in his spine.
Medical Xpress / Rb1 identified as predictive biomarker for new therapeutic strategy in some breast cancers
A new study published in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center details a therapeutic vulnerability in patients with an aggressive subtype of triple-negative breast ...
Phys.org / A molecular switch for green hydrogen: Catalyst changes function based on how it's assembled
Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, but it relies on efficient and stable catalysts that work under acidic conditions—currently dominated by precious metals like ...
Tech Xplore / Redesigned carbon molecules boost battery safety, durability and power
Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery materials much safer, longer lasting, and more powerful by fundamentally redesigning how fullerene molecules ...
Phys.org / Promising new superconducting material discovered with the help of AI
Tohoku University and Fujitsu Limited have successfully used AI to derive new insights into the superconductivity mechanism of a new superconducting material.
Phys.org / Silicon atom processor links 11 qubits with more than 99% fidelity
In order to scale quantum computers, more qubits must be added and interconnected. However, prior attempts to do this have resulted in a loss of connection quality, or fidelity. But, a new study published in Nature details ...
Phys.org / Humans made fire 350,000 years earlier than believed, archaeological study finds
A team of researchers led by the British Museum has unearthed the oldest known evidence of fire-making, dating back more than 400,000 years, in a field in Suffolk. The discovery shows humans were making fire about 350,000 ...
Medical Xpress / Humans could have as many as 33 senses
Stuck in front of our screens all day, we often ignore our senses beyond sound and vision. And yet they are always at work. When we're more alert, we feel the rough and smooth surfaces of objects, the stiffness in our shoulders, ...
Phys.org / AI learns to build simple equations for complex systems
A research team at Duke University has developed a new AI framework that can uncover simple, understandable rules that govern some of the most complex dynamics found in nature and technology.
Medical Xpress / Survey shows post-pandemic gains in student mental health
Anxiety has declined since the pandemic among Minnesota teens, who are still using social media even if they think they shouldn't and consuming more energy drinks to keep up with homework and activities, according to an influential ...
