Tech Xplore / Lab produces first-ever fuel for fast molten salt reactor experiment
Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE)—the world's ...
Medical Xpress / How brain tumor cells influence neurons and vice versa
Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body. These cancers cannot be cured with conventional cancer treatments, as they spread into healthy brain ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring why some people tend to persistently make bad choices
When people learn that surrounding visuals and sounds may signify specific choice outcomes, these cues can become guides for decision making. For people with compulsive disorders, addictions, or anxiety, the associations ...
Phys.org / AI mimics human-like intuition to explore and analyze chemical reactions
Chemical reactions are the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which are fundamental to the creation of new technologies. Inevitably, discovering and developing new chemical reactions is a time-intensive process of trial ...
Medical Xpress / EACVI: Myocardial injury risk increased after AMI with elevated epicardial adipose tissue volume
Patients with elevated epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) exhibit greater acute myocardial injury following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), according to a study presented at the annual congress of the European Association ...
Phys.org / Hubble glimpses galactic gas making getaway
A sideways spiral galaxy shines in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. Located about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden), NGC 4388 is a resident of the Virgo galaxy cluster. This enormous ...
Phys.org / Study shows the 2008 recession caused people to identify with a lower class
Class identity, which is how individuals view their economic and social positions in relation to others, has wide-ranging effects on people's well-being, thoughts, and behavior. Previous studies have shown that people who ...
Phys.org / Nanoplastics have diet-dependent impacts on digestive system health, study finds
Plastics are not inert: they gradually break into fragments over time, forming micro- and then nanoplastics (i.e., particles
Phys.org / PFAS concentrations can double with every step up the food chain
A new UNSW-led global meta-analysis shows that PFAS concentrations can double at every step up the food chain, leaving top predators—and humans—potentially exposed to higher chemical loads.
Phys.org / Toddlers with facial tattoos: How Christianity expanded body art in Nile Valley civilizations
Ancient Nubians who lived between the 7th and 9th centuries tattooed the cheeks and foreheads of their infants and toddlers. This surprising discovery was made during a systematic survey of more than 1,000 human remains from ...
Phys.org / Some mammals can hit pause on a pregnancy—understanding how that happens could help us treat cancer
Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the uterine wall—pausing pregnancy until she senses that her fat reserves are aligned with the season. ...
Phys.org / Stardust study resets how life's atoms spread through space
Starlight and stardust are not enough to drive the powerful winds of giant stars, transporting the building blocks of life through our galaxy. That's the conclusion of a new study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, ...
