Medical Xpress / Always finish your antibiotics? Longer is better? Outdated ideas about antibiotics are common, study says
"Always finish your antibiotics" is no longer considered medical best practice for all conditions. Surprised? You're not alone.
Phys.org / Theoretical framework expands directional light control beyond ordered crystal structures
A research team has developed a new theoretical framework that can suppress light scattering in certain directions while enhancing it in others, even in irregularly arranged materials. The work extends research on controlling ...
Phys.org / Paleontologists reconstruct forests of 56 million years ago with chilling parallels for our warming planet
If you want to know how rapidly pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will affect future forest ecosystems, you have to look into the distant past. The researchers behind a new study published in Science have done just ...
Phys.org / While Great Lakes ice cover is slipping, a 'temporary respite' may be on the way
There's good news and bad news for folks who love a good coat of ice on the Great Lakes for the activities and businesses it supports. The good news is that, after decades of declining annual average ice cover, there's reason ...
Phys.org / CRISPR roadblocks: Scientists identify genes blocking gene therapy success
Like a delivery driver navigating crowded city streets, a gene-therapy-toting lipid nanoparticle faces a gauntlet of potential detours on its journey toward a cell's nucleus. First, there's entering the cell's plasma membrane; ...
Phys.org / Tracer exchange reveals ions can speed up or slow down inside battery solids
Understanding how ions diffuse in solid materials is essential for technologies including batteries, electronics and chemical catalysts, but it has been hard for a simple reason: the materials are solids.
Phys.org / Copper's surprising melting behavior provides insights into future fusion design
Future fusion power plants aim to recreate the heart of a star here on Earth to power our future energy needs. While the core fusion plasma will burn at hundreds of millions of degrees, the surrounding structural components ...
Phys.org / Does your city match your relationship status? New study exposes the hidden costs of urban living
Kids, marriage and commute: A study co-authored by Dr. Mariana Macedo of Constructor University provides new insights into how major life transitions alter how individuals navigate and experience urban environments. Published ...
Medical Xpress / A novel intervention to potentially improve the outcome of children with malnutrition
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered an intervention that could potentially improve outcomes for children with malnutrition, a condition that contributes to nearly half of ...
Science X / Tropical cooling points to a world 5.4°C colder at the Ice Age peak
During the Last Glacial Maximum, tropical regions with lush vegetation would have looked completely different. The last Ice Age reached its peak about 20,000–21,000 years ago, and massive ice sheets covered parts of North ...
Phys.org / How to fine-tune molecular structures within vaccines to improve immune responses
A vaccine's molecular structure plays a key role in determining how the immune system responds and prepares to protect the body from future exposure to a specific pathogen. To develop a vaccine that offers long-term protection ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover 'hidden switch' that helps cancer cells hide from the immune system
Researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps cancer cells evade detection by the body's ...
