Phys.org / Artificial cartilage mimics natural flexibility with adjustable structure
A Washington State University research team is working to create an artificial cartilage that is similar to natural cartilage with a recipe that can be corrected along the way.
Phys.org / What would a small black hole do to the human body? Scientist aims to answer that
Some people may worry about being bitten by a snake or spider, but have you ever considered what would happen if a small black hole tried to pass through your body?
Phys.org / Synthesizing stable, open-chain amines with nitrogen-based chirality
A research team from Prof. Benjamin List's department at the Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung has solved a long-elusive riddle of chemistry: the synthesis of stable, open-chain amines that carry their chirality on ...
Phys.org / Protein droplets in the nucleus guard against cancer, researchers discover
Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus (the compartment that stores and manages ...
Phys.org / Symmetry simplifies quantum noise analysis, paving way for better error correction
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have achieved a breakthrough in quantum noise characterization in quantum systems—a key ...
Medical Xpress / Arginine supplementation curbs Alzheimer's disease pathology in animal models
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is one of the leading causes of dementia worldwide, and currently has no definitive cure. Although antibody-based therapies that target amyloid β (Aβ) ...
Medical Xpress / Some children's tantrums can be seen in the brain, new study reveals
In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are using imaging to see how young brains process sensory stimulation.
Medical Xpress / New implant captures gut-brain signals in awake, moving animals
Scientists have been able to measure the electrical signals in the "second brain in our guts" for the first-ever time, giving renewed understanding to its interconnection with the brain.
Tech Xplore / New AI language-vision models transform traffic video analysis to improve road safety
New York City's thousands of traffic cameras capture endless hours of footage each day, but analyzing that video to identify safety problems and implement improvements typically requires resources that most transportation ...
Phys.org / Discovery of plant reproductive success provides insights into human fertility
Researchers have uncovered how successful chromosome segregation during sexual reproduction is achieved in plants. The discovery, by scientists led by the University of Leicester, could be beneficial for both plant breeding ...
Phys.org / Scientists develop CRISPR PRO-liveFISH for live-cell genome imaging
Although existing CRISPR-Cas-based imaging methods can target endogenous genomic sequences, their applications are limited by system complexity and sensitivity, particularly when imaging non-repetitive loci, performing multi-locus ...
Phys.org / Genetic engineering reduces plant's chromosome number without affecting its growth
Higher yields, greater resilience to climatic changes or diseases—the demands on crop plants are constantly growing. To address these challenges, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are developing new ...
