Phys.org / Nature-inspired method forms ZnO quantum dots in solid crystals at room temperature
In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions happen gently, at room ...
Medical Xpress / Can the mental health benefits of exercise be bottled?
We all know the feeling: the mental clarity that comes after a good run or a heavy workout. Science backs this up, even showing that for non-severe depression, exercise can be just as effective as antidepressants or therapy. ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells from pediatricians help uncover an antibody cocktail against RSV and hMPV
Researchers in China recently published a study in Science Translational Medicine describing a new antibody cocktail for protection against two common viruses. The proposed preventative treatment consists of antibodies identified ...
Medical Xpress / Remote-controlled CAR-T cells use venetoclax to disengage from tumors
Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their promise, CAR-T cells do ...
Phys.org / NASA boss blasts Boeing and space agency managers for Starliner's botched astronaut flight
NASA's new boss blasted Boeing and the space agency Thursday for Starliner's botched flight that left two astronauts stuck for months at the International Space Station.
Phys.org / New AI framework reveals chemistry driving high-conductivity lithium-ion electrolytes
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for ...
Medical Xpress / AI for language access in surgical care: Patient preferences and an implementation framework
Language barriers contribute substantially to inequities in U.S. surgical care. Spanish-speaking patients are especially affected by communication challenges and inconsistent interpreter access during complex or time-sensitive ...
Medical Xpress / Blood test could help guide treatment decisions in germ cell tumors
Can fragments of tumor DNA in the blood predict whether chemotherapy will be effective? Researchers at the Princess Máxima Center investigated this question together with experts from Italy and Slovakia. They focused specifically ...
Tech Xplore / Resilient nylon-11 film generates electricity from pressure and survives repeated runovers
RMIT University researchers have developed a flexible nylon-film device that generates electricity from compression and keeps working even after being run over by a car multiple times, opening the door to self-powered sensors ...
Phys.org / Scientists unlock a massive new 'color palette' for biomedical research by synthesizing non-natural amino acids
Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a rapidly growing class of drugs called peptide therapeutics that sits between small molecules (like aspirin) ...
Phys.org / Transistor-like MXene membranes enhance ion separation
By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved real-time tuning of ion separations—a capability previously thought impossible. ...
Phys.org / Can human heart failure interventions work in dogs?
Mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in humans. It's also common among dogs, especially older and smaller breed dogs. In both species, the mitral valve fails to close tightly enough to keep blood ...
