Tech Xplore / A new approach to energy harvesting opened up by the quantum world
Touch the back of a laptop and it often feels warm. This is because part of the energy used for computation and communication escapes to the outside as heat. Yet even this "waste heat" still contains a great deal of usable ...
Medical Xpress / Autistic and non-autistic faces differ in expressing anger, happiness, sadness, study shows
Autistic and non-autistic people express emotions differently through their facial movements, according to a new study, which may help to explain why emotional expressions are sometimes misinterpreted between the two groups.
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop biodegradable, self-powered electrical stimulator for muscle repair
Severe skeletal muscle injury, especially volumetric muscle loss, remains difficult to treat because effective regeneration requires safe, effective, and sustained intervention. Addressing this long-standing challenge, a ...
Medical Xpress / Most elderly cancer patients receive inappropriate drugs until final months, study finds
Analysis of the medical records of 1,269 elderly patients with advanced cancer by researchers at the University of Tsukuba has found that more than 70% were prescribed potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and that ...
Medical Xpress / What a study of 67,000 people reveals about sexual desire and age
Sexual desire is a fundamental part of being human and a driving force in many relationships, yet we still don't fully understand why it varies so much from person to person.
Medical Xpress / 58% of patients affected by 2022 mpox outbreak report lasting physical symptoms
A cohort study of over 300 adults either diagnosed with mpox between May 2022 to January 2023 (post-MPX) or who were at risk but never infected (no-MPX) found that more than half of those diagnosed with mpox during the 2022 ...
Medical Xpress / A 'recipe book' for reprogramming cells into disease-fighting immune cells
In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 ...
Phys.org / Ultra-thin platinum shells promise efficient catalysts with far less precious metal
Researchers from Skoltech have uncovered physical principles governing the remote "tuning" of nanocatalysts, where the ultra-thin platinum layer's properties can be controlled exclusively by modifying its metallic core's ...
Phys.org / Hubble observes ghostly cloud alive with star formation
While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it's actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a star-forming cloud about 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.
Tech Xplore / Cyberattacks can trigger societal crises, scientists warn
Cyberattacks can wreak havoc on the systems they target, yet their impact often spreads far beyond technical failures, potentially triggering crises that engulf entire communities, a new study argues.
Phys.org / Mount Fuji's unique clouds: Research provides insights into frequency and formation conditions
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba conducted a three-year observational study (January 2019–December 2021) using a network of live cameras to monitor characteristic clouds around Mount Fuji.
Phys.org / Searching for 'green oceans' and 'purple Earths'
The early stage of giant telescope development involves a lot of horse-trading to try to appease all the different stakeholders that are hoping to get what they want out of the project, but also to try to appease the financial ...
