Phys.org / What a 'self-sustaining' glucose reaction means for greener chemical manufacturing
A Korean research team, led by Dr. Young Kyu Hwang, Dr. Kyung-Ryul Oh, and Dr. Jihoon Kim at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) has developed a circular low-carbon catalytic process that co-produces ...
Medical Xpress / Weight-loss medications may affect some complications after panniculectomy
For patients undergoing body contouring surgery to remove excess abdominal skin after massive weight loss, use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications may have mixed effects on complication risks, suggests a study in the April issue ...
Medical Xpress / Single-cell maps show chemokine signals collapse as aggressive lymphoma spreads
Lymph nodes are key control centers in the immune system and play an important role in defending the body against infections and tumors. For these processes to function properly, immune cells (B cells and T cells) must be ...
Phys.org / One-pot process could convert sugarcane waste to jet fuel
Converting sugarcane waste to biofuel could become more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, thanks to a joint project at The University of Queensland and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Ph.D. candidate ...
Tech Xplore / An ultra-sensitive method for hydrogen detection in complex environments
As a promising clean energy source, hydrogen (H2) requires reliable safety monitoring. However, lacking a permanent dipole moment, it is "infrared-inactive" and cannot be effectively measured by conventional absorption-based ...
Phys.org / Hooking big fish in warming oceans comes with a catch
When it comes to fishing, reeling in the biggest one is often the goal. But as it turns out, leaving the largest and oldest fish in the water can help entire fish populations cope better with ocean warming—and the benefits ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD medication in childhood may reduce later psychosis risk, study finds
A new study, led by scientists at University College Dublin and the University of Edinburgh, has found that commonly prescribed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication in childhood may lower the long-term ...
Tech Xplore / Wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with their own movements
The next time you're scrolling on your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments in your hand. ...
Phys.org / Rivers and tidal currents keep 80% of microfibers from reaching oceans, study suggests
Every time we do a load of laundry, tiny fibers of polyester escape from our clothes and slip down the drain. These microfibers, so small they can be invisible to the naked eye, are among the most common forms of microplastic ...
Medical Xpress / Neuroscientists find 'blink of an eye' timing in how we use our brains to learn and move
Scientists have long studied the role of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control learning and movement, in order to better understand Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and depression—afflictions caused, in ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood tests may predict response to lymphoma treatment
Many people with an aggressive blood cancer called diffuse large B cell lymphoma are cured by the current gold standard of treatment: an antibody designed to wipe out cancerous B cells plus a combination of four chemotherapy ...
Phys.org / Bioelectronic platform enables precise H₂S delivery to cells, turning a toxic gas into a therapeutic tool
A toxic gas known for its "rotten egg smell" has been transformed into a therapeutic tool. A research team at KAIST has developed a technology to precisely control hydrogen sulfide (H2S) using electrical signals, bringing ...
