Phys.org / Harnessing nanoscale magnetic spins to overcome the limits of conventional electronics
Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that careful engineering of materials interfaces can unlock new applications for nanoscale magnetic spins, overcoming the limits of conventional electronics. Their findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / Lack of employee flexibility to attend health care appointments during work hours has knock-on health impacts
Restricted access to health care appointments during typical working hours leads to poorer health-related quality of life, a University of Manchester–led study has found. The research explores how being unable to attend ...
Medical Xpress / Advancing the realization of oral insulin using novel peptide technology
For more than a century, oral insulin has been considered a "dream" therapy for diabetes, hindered by enzymatic degradation in the digestive tract and the absence of a dedicated intestinal transport mechanism. Consequently, ...
Tech Xplore / Shapeshifting materials could power next generation of soft robots
McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that ...
Phys.org / Refined radiocarbon dating provides clearer timeline of human activity along Cantabrian coast 18,000 years ago
A new study refines radiocarbon dating of marine remains and significantly improves the precision with which the human past of the Magdalenian period in the Cantabrian region of Spain can be reconstructed, a key phase of ...
Tech Xplore / GNSS-only method delivers stable positioning for autonomous vehicles in urban areas
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are vital for positioning autonomous vehicles, buses, drones, and outdoor robots. Yet its accuracy often degrades in dense urban areas due to signal blockage and reflections.
Phys.org / New drug delivery mechanism could aid breast cancer treatment
In a study published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, scientists from the UF Health Cancer Institute have found a way to make treatment for a notoriously aggressive breast cancer more effective. Using a delivery ...
Tech Xplore / Stress-testing AI vision systems: Rethinking how adversarial images are generated
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a cornerstone of modern AI technology, driving a thriving field of research in image-related tasks. These systems have found applications in medical diagnosis, automated data processing, ...
Phys.org / Conservation may not be enough to sustain water supplies, researchers find
As temperatures rise and water supplies drop, public policy could bolster municipal water provisions under pressure. But one policy prescription—pushing conservation—will likely be insufficient as a standalone fix to ...
Tech Xplore / Off-grid filtration technology can remove over 99% of nanoplastics smaller than 50 nm
Professor Jeong-Min Baik's research group of the SKKU School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a reusable electrokinetic filtration platform capable of filtering more than 99% of ultrafine nanoplastic ...
Medical Xpress / Microbes living in our mouths could hold the key to obesity prevention
Scientists may have found a new way to spot early signs of obesity, which could lead to novel prevention strategies. A study published in the journal Cell Reports has discovered that people living with obesity have a distinct ...
Phys.org / The art of custom-intercalating 42 metals into layered titanates
A research team affiliated with UNIST has reported a novel synthesis strategy that enables the direct intercalation of a wide range of metal cations into the interlayer spaces of layered titanate (LT) structures. This approach ...
