Medical Xpress / A mechanical view on metastasis: Tumor cell viscosity found to guide key steps in cancer spread
Millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer every year. In advanced tumor diseases, cancer cells detach from the original tumor and settle in other parts of the body to form metastases. On their way, they have ...
Phys.org / Adoption of electric vehicles tied to real-world reductions in air pollution
When California neighborhoods increased their number of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEV) between 2019 and 2023, they also experienced a reduction in air pollution. For every 200 vehicles added, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels ...
Tech Xplore / Shapeshifting materials could power next generation of soft robots
McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that ...
Phys.org / Halley's Comet wrongly named: 11th-century English monk predates British astronomer
The British astronomer and mathematician Edmond Halley was not, after all, the first to understand the cycle of the comet that now bears his name. This is shown by research conducted by, among others, Professor Simon Portegies ...
Tech Xplore / Off-grid filtration technology can remove over 99% of nanoplastics smaller than 50 nm
Professor Jeong-Min Baik's research group of the SKKU School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a reusable electrokinetic filtration platform capable of filtering more than 99% of ultrafine nanoplastic ...
Phys.org / 2D material offers a solution to long-standing obstacle in diamond-based circuits
Beyond their sparkle, diamonds have hidden talents. They shed heat better than any material, tolerate extreme temperatures and radiation, and handle high voltages while wasting almost no electricity—ideal traits for compact, ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial finds 24 minutes of music with auditory beats eases anxiety
A new randomized clinical trial has revealed that just 24 minutes of listening to specially designed music paired with auditory beat stimulation (ABS) can significantly reduce anxiety. The research offers a promising complementary ...
Phys.org / The art of custom-intercalating 42 metals into layered titanates
A research team affiliated with UNIST has reported a novel synthesis strategy that enables the direct intercalation of a wide range of metal cations into the interlayer spaces of layered titanate (LT) structures. This approach ...
Tech Xplore / Stress-testing AI vision systems: Rethinking how adversarial images are generated
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a cornerstone of modern AI technology, driving a thriving field of research in image-related tasks. These systems have found applications in medical diagnosis, automated data processing, ...
Phys.org / Reading how to be male: Boys' literature reflects the rise of aggressive masculinity
There's growing concern about the rise of harmful and aggressive forms of masculinity, whether at home, in schools or in public spaces.
Phys.org / Light-controlled switches offer precise regulation of ion channels in living cells
Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that it is possible, for example, ...
Medical Xpress / Japanese version of rPATD validated to assess attitudes toward medication reductions among patients, caregivers
Polypharmacy—the concurrent use of multiple medications—is a global challenge, and the active participation of patients and their families in decisions about medication use is essential. In a new study, researchers at ...
