Medical Xpress / Cap-like OLED wearable could prevent hair loss, replacing bulky helmet devices
A new solution that could overcome the limitations of conventional hair-loss treatments is emerging. Heavy and rigid helmet-type phototherapy devices may soon become a thing of the past. A joint research team has developed ...
Phys.org / From cryogenic to red-hot: Optical temperature sensing from 77 K to 873 K
An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent material that enables particularly robust and precise optical temperature sensing across an exceptionally ...
Phys.org / DIVE multi-agent workflow streamlines hydrogen storage materials discovery
Developing new materials can involve a dizzying amount of trial and error for different configurations and elements. Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen a surge of popularity in energy materials research for its potential ...
Tech Xplore / New design tool 3D-prints woven metamaterials that stretch and fail predictably
Metamaterials—materials whose properties are primarily dictated by their internal microstructure, and not their chemical makeup—have been redefining the engineering materials space for the last decade. To date, however, ...
Phys.org / Oysters play unexpected role in protecting blue crabs from disease
Oysters famously filter their surrounding water, but it turns out they are removing more than algae and excess nutrients. New research from William & Mary's Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences & VIMS shows they can ...
Medical Xpress / Spray away infections: New device delivers antibiotics via mist, alleviating risks of side effects
A University of Missouri researcher has unveiled a safer, smarter way to fight drug-resistant infections. Dr. Hongmin Sun, an associate professor in the School of Medicine, has demonstrated that a spray-mist device can deliver ...
Phys.org / Lab-grown beef: Novel line of bovine embryonic stem cells shows promise
Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem cells, which have significant potential for a variety of new innovations, from lab-grown meat to ...
Phys.org / Poop as medicine? A Roman vial's chemistry backs up ancient medical texts
When some ancient Romans were feeling a little under the weather, they were treated with human feces. While this practice was mentioned in ancient Greco-Roman medical texts by figures such as Pliny the Elder, there was no ...
Tech Xplore / 'Discovery learning' AI tool predicts battery cycle life with just a few days' data
An agentic AI tool for battery researchers harnesses data from previous battery designs to predict the cycle life of new battery concepts. With information from just 50 cycles, the tool—developed at University of Michigan ...
Phys.org / Astronomers trace a runaway star to a former companion's supernova
Astronomers have strengthened long-standing predictions that massive runaway stars could have originated in binary pairs, and were dramatically ejected into space when their companion stars underwent supernova explosions. ...
Medical Xpress / Mental health and heart attacks: What a 22-million-person review suggests
The Department of Medicine at University of Calgary led an analysis comparing several clinical mental disorders with risk of acute coronary syndrome, a term that includes heart attack and emergency chest pain resulting from ...
Phys.org / Nanocrystal biohybrids harvest light to reduce N₂ gas to ammonia
Ammonia, a key part of nitrogen fertilizers, is central to sustaining global food production. However, its manufacture is also energy intensive: Ammonia production requires 2% of global energy to meet global demand. Approximately ...
