Phys.org / A 1,000-fold longer charge lifetime helps organic catalyst produce solar hydrogen faster
Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of CAS, ...
Medical Xpress / Aging oxidation drives brain proteins into harmful condensates, study finds
An international research team that included Martín Hugo, a Serra Húnter lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the UAB, has described how two opposing chemical modifications of proteins, sulfenylation ...
Phys.org / Astronomers unmask a supernova impostor
A distant star has captured astronomers' attention over the past decade, teasing them with indications that it will soon explode as a supernova. But new research shows that something else entirely is behind the star's outbursts. ...
Medical Xpress / Early blood protein clues could identify children at risk of cardiometabolic disease
Researchers at Vanderbilt Health, UTHealth Houston and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified early signs of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease (CKMD) in children as young as 8 years old that ...
Medical Xpress / Drug decriminalization in BC reduced police encounters for drug possession, with no changes in drug-related deaths
British Columbia's drug decriminalization policy was associated with a substantial decrease in police encounters for drug possession, while neither decriminalization nor the subsequent partial recriminalization was associated ...
Phys.org / Masked tectonic structures suggest Mercury contracted 40% more than its visible scars alone indicate
The surface of Mercury is filled with craters, ridges and steep cliffs. Over billions of years, as the planet's interior cooled, the planet also shrank. Just as the skin of a drying fruit wrinkles when what is inside it shrinks, ...
Medical Xpress / Zipalertinib plus chemotherapy significantly extends progression-free survival in first-line EGFR lung cancer
Adding zipalertinib to platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival in patients receiving first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion ...
Phys.org / Saltwater flooding could radically change which crops are worth growing
Saltwater isn't something most people associate with English farmland. But in parts of eastern England, it's becoming a growing problem, not just for crops but for farm incomes too.
Medical Xpress / Smartphones could be used to screen for cataracts and other eye problems
Researchers have found a high level of agreement between cataract referral decisions based on smartphone images reviewed remotely and those made by ophthalmologists examining patients in person at rural eye camps.
Phys.org / Cataract surgery will be needed in space, surgeon predicts
An eye surgeon with a passion for space since childhood predicts that as astronauts start to make journeys to the moon and Mars in the near future, eye surgery in space will eventually become a necessity.
Phys.org / NASA's next great observatory could spot oceans on distant worlds
We've found more than 5,500 exoplanets so far. Dozens of them are in the habitable zones of their parent stars, where, at least in theory, they could host an ocean. But we've never definitively found a liquid ocean on another ...
Phys.org / Fish may be highly sensitive to antidepressants found in water
Many of the drugs that target human brain chemistry, such as antidepressants, are still biologically active when they leave the body. These substances and their metabolites can persist in wastewater and eventually end up ...
