Phys.org / AI and quantum chemistry combine to identify efficient blue OLED materials
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become a standard in modern devices with incredible contrast and sleek designs. While initially an expensive luxury, OLEDs are gradually becoming more financially accessible as the ...
Medical Xpress / Gut immune cells may help explain how B-cell depletion controls MS
B-cell depletion therapies, in which B cells of the immune system that may drive disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) are temporarily removed, have contributed significantly to improved treatment for patients in recent ...
Phys.org / Juno takes temperature of Jupiter's fiery moon Io
NASA's Juno mission has provided the first measurements of the temperature below the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, revealing significant heating within the shallow subsurface of the most volcanically active world in the solar ...
Medical Xpress / Frequent cannabis users wake with higher cortisol levels, study finds
Research suggests people who often use cannabis start their day with higher cortisol levels than people who don't, indicating a relationship between frequent cannabis use and a possible dysregulation of the body's daily stress ...
Medical Xpress / 2008 to 2023 saw shift in causes of cirrhosis
There have been substantial epidemiological shifts in the burden of cirrhosis in the United States during the past decade, according to a study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
Medical Xpress / Natural compounds against sarcoma: Which one shows the greatest potential?
Curcumin, berberine and other plant-derived compounds have long attracted scientific interest because of their anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. A new study by researchers from Wroclaw Medical University and the ...
Medical Xpress / How a pandemic detour helped researchers uncover clues to a mysterious disease
When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down international travel in 2020, Michigan State University researcher Eric Benbow faced a problem. A $2.5 million research project designed to study an environmental pathogen in South America ...
Phys.org / Study of incarcerated women in Chile finds different outcomes after release
A new study of incarcerated women in Chile reveals that women respond to imprisonment in very different ways: While most experienced little change in their involvement in crime after release, those with higher levels of past ...
Medical Xpress / Can AI chatbots make mental health worse? Study identifies five risky patterns
The use of generative AI has become so widespread that ChatGPT is gradually becoming a verb, much like Google and Photoshop. Hundreds of millions of people now use large language model (LLM)-based chatbots for advice on personal, ...
Phys.org / Why river management is so crucial to protecting one of world's most important wetlands
A major new study led by Swansea University has shown that upstream river management, rather than local rainfall, is the primary driver of one of the world's most important wetlands. According to the research published in ...
Phys.org / Microscale roughness breakthrough defies 80 years of fluid dynamics
Logically, you would think a sleek surface has optimal aerodynamics—but recent research at Tohoku University turns this fundamental principle on its head. Applying an irregular microscale surface texture reduced the aerodynamic ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Listening with light—an innovative new technology for studying the seafloor
The seafloor plays an important ecological and societal role. Understanding the processes that shape this environment will help guide conservation policy and decision-making about underwater infrastructure and geohazards.
