Endometriosis is a devastating chronic pain condition caused by uterine-like cells growing where they aren't supposed to. People with endometriosis can develop extremely painful periods, bladder issues, and even infertility. ...
Phys.org / Understanding protein motion could greatly aid new drug design
For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based alternatives, proteins encompass a large class of complex biomolecules whose chemical structure is ...
Tech Xplore / Building facade solar panels on outside walls can generate power while cutting cooling costs
A team of Chinese researchers has modeled the potential global benefits of installing solar panels on outside building walls, a concept known as facade-integrated photovoltaics (FIPV). They found that solar panels installed ...

Lots of children and teenagers are open to a vegetarian or vegan diet and cut out meat but then struggle to keep it up, according to a new study from the University of Exeter. The study, published in Psychology of Human-Animal ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI hardware helps autonomous devices operate efficiently and independently
The human brain constantly makes decisions. It requires minimal power to move bodies in a desired direction or avoid an object. A Purdue University engineer uses the brain's efficiency as inspiration to help autonomous vehicles, ...
Phys.org / New technique reveals body-wide cellular processes
Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of tissue. At the University ...
Phys.org / Quasi-liquid layer controls growth mechanisms of ice-like materials
Clathrate hydrates are crystalline structures formed at the bottom of seafloors, created by water molecules trapping methane, carbon dioxide or other molecules. While these materials are underutilized in technology, a University ...
Phys.org / The Big Bee Project brings natural history collections into the 21st century
Museum collections have underpinned scientific research for centuries. But physical specimens in boxes and drawers don't easily lend themselves to the research techniques of the new millennium. "How can we apply these techniques ...
Phys.org / Experimental evidence shows how photons spread across multiple paths in an interferometer
The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can behave like a spread-out wave, a whole photon is only ever detected in one specific place. Traditional ...
Phys.org / Designing proteins by their motion, not just their shape
Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's molecular machines. They walk, stretch, bend, and flex to do their jobs, pumping blood, fighting ...
Medical Xpress / Six weeks of boxing training significantly lowers blood pressure in young adults
A study from researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso shows that just six weeks of boxing training can significantly reduce blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in young adults with elevated blood pressure ...
