Phys.org / New nanogel technology destroys drug-resistant bacteria in hours
As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, a Swansea University academic has led the development of a novel technology capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine—with over 99.9% effectiveness ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted drug could benefit young patients with invasive sarcoma
A collaborative research team, led by scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, has identified a targeted drug that could effectively treat an aggressive ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe metabolic activity of individual lipid droplets in real time
A research team has developed a fluorescent probe that allows scientists to visualize how individual lipid droplets break down inside living cells in real time. The probe changes its fluorescence properties depending on the ...
Phys.org / Behavioral patterns and shopping habits shape household food waste, study shows
A study by Associate Professor Nevin Cohen and colleagues reveals that food waste in U.S. households varies significantly based on behavioral patterns and shopping habits, rather than simple demographics like age or income ...
Phys.org / Decapitated fossil fish with guts still intact reveal ancient predatory habits
In a study appearing in Fossil Record, researchers Martin Ebert and Martina Kölbl-Ebert analyzed the remains of a unique fossil type: the decapitated head of Aspidorhynchus, with its gastrointestinal tract (guts) still attached. ...
Tech Xplore / Microrobots overcome navigational limitations with the help of 'artificial spacetimes'
Microrobots—tiny robots less than a millimeter in size—are useful in a variety of applications that require tasks to be completed at scales far too small for other tools, such as targeted drug-delivery or micro-manufacturing. ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered Colombian orchid faces 'foretold' extinction under climate change
A team of Colombian botanists has issued an urgent wake-up call after discovering a remarkable new orchid species, only to project its likely extinction within decades due to climate change.
Medical Xpress / Zalunfiban shows early benefits in ST-elevation heart attacks
Researchers at University Medical Center Maastricht and international partners report that a single shot of the drug zalunfiban given at first medical contact for suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) improved ...
Phys.org / Study maps the time and energy patterns of electron pairs in ultrafast pulses
The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies.
Medical Xpress / AI tool can analyze complex cancer images rapidly—offering potential to personalize treatment
Complex digital images of tissue samples that can take an experienced pathologist up to 20 minutes to annotate could be analyzed in just one minute using a new AI tool developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Medical Xpress / Microglia modulate the reactivity of astrocytes in Alzheimer's disease, study finds
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly debilitating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of memory and decline of mental functions. Earlier research has uncovered some of the neural and biological ...
Phys.org / Cells 'pull the emergency brake' when oxygen runs low, research reveals
When human cells lack oxygen, they must react. Without oxygen, the metabolism can hardly generate energy, and many vital processes begin to falter. A research team from Bielefeld University, together with international partners, ...
