Medical Xpress / Malaria vaccine add-ons activate three antibody targets, study finds
Malaria kills more than half a million people a year, most of them young children in Africa. Two vaccines are now recommended by the World Health Organization: RTS,S and R21. Both are helpful interventions, but neither works ...
Phys.org / Boron layers could set a superconductivity record, theoretical study predicts
Scientists in China predict that stacking two microscopic layers of boron could set a new record for superconductivity. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance. Traditional types need temperatures ...
Tech Xplore / Apple and OpenAI escalate legal battle over devices
A legal battle between Apple and OpenAI over the ChatGPT maker's secretive device project escalated this week when the artificial intelligence (AI) developer called the iPhone maker's allegations "baseless" and asked for ...
Phys.org / Crossing into a mirror world: Particles turn to wisps of fog, and the magnetic monopole paradox dissolves
In Goethe's ballad "Erlkönig," immortalized in Schubert's fevered 1815 setting, a dying boy riding through the night sees a spectral king beckoning from the darkness. His father calms him: "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif"—my ...
Medical Xpress / Everyday packaging plastic may compound fatty liver risk from burgers and sodas
Microplastics have become nearly impossible to avoid. They have been detected in oceans, drinking water and even the human body, but scientists are still uncovering how they affect human health. Now, researchers at the Texas ...
Phys.org / One million years without sex fails to erase stick insects' unused biological system
Scientists have made a surprising finding about how an asexually reproducing stick insect has evolved. Research led by Dr. Darren Parker, lecturer in evolutionary biology at Bangor University, studied the genes of several ...
Medical Xpress / Omega-3 plus low-dose aspirin produces antibiotic-like results against severe periodontitis
A combination of omega-3 and low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) produced results comparable to antibiotics in treating severe periodontitis. This conclusion is based on a study conducted by researchers affiliated with Albert ...
Medical Xpress / Rising temperatures linked to higher risk of homicide and suicide in Mexico and Brazil
As temperatures on Earth continue to rise, some researchers have been trying to understand how climate change influences people's physical and mental health. Some past studies have found an association between warmer weather ...
Tech Xplore / EU tells Meta, TikTok to boost monitoring, fact-checking
The EU's tech chief called on Meta and TikTok to "act decisively" to stem disinformation at times of crisis, saying the European Commission held talks with both platforms Friday following last week's Ceuta migrant surge.
Phys.org / New AI model reveals the volume of the world's glaciers
How much ice is stored in the world's glaciers? And where exactly is it located? A new study led by Ca' Foscari University of Venice, in collaboration with the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council ...
Phys.org / Creating cleaner chemical reactions that run on oxygen and produce only water as waste
Oxygen provides the driving force for many vital chemical reactions. Two well-known examples include respiration, the process that allows living things to break down food to release its energy, and combustion, reactions that ...
Phys.org / Researchers unlock high-res view of 2D materials by doing a microscopic twist
By rapidly twisting a microscopically small tip back and forth, researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have unlocked a new way to detect subtle changes on the surface of a material flexing in response to infrared ...
