Medical Xpress / Implant design helps fight ovarian cancer from the inside
Researchers have developed an implant that could deliver next-generation therapies for ovarian cancer precisely where they are needed while simultaneously monitoring how the disease responds.
Medical Xpress / Has the definition of autism become too broad to be useful?
The definition of autism may have become so broad that it risks confusion and even misdiagnosis, according to a new editorial by UCL professor Dame Uta Frith, whose pioneering research in the 1960s and '70s laid the foundations ...
Phys.org / Physicists link the Riemann Hypothesis to phase transitions in quantum systems
A new study in Nature Communications has established a link between the Riemann Hypothesis and dynamical phase transitions in engineered quantum systems, demonstrating the effect on a quantum processor.
Tech Xplore / Selective microwave heating speeds bamboo-to-hydrogen fuel conversion
Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that microwave (MW) radiation can dramatically speed the conversion of biomass into useful gases by creating localized high-temperature regions on nickel nanoparticles. Using advanced ...
Phys.org / New technique pinpoints human DNA inherited from 'ghost' ancestors
UC Berkeley researchers have identified regions of DNA that humans inherited from two unknown ancestors as a result of long-ago interbreeding among modern humans and at least four other archaic human relatives.
Phys.org / Pushing the boundaries of ultracold neutral plasmas
Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured ...
Tech Xplore / Innovative design unlocks resilient semiconductor materials
Semiconductors such as silicon are the cornerstone of today's essential technologies, but the variety of materials available to power devices is limited. While metal oxides are durable, only a small subset are semiconducting ...
Phys.org / Moonlight-like fur and feathers may explain Egyptian god Thoth's two animal forms
The ancient Egyptian god of the moon had two very different faces: a crescent-beaked white bird and a silver-coated baboon. Now, researchers think they may have found the common thread connecting them all.
Medical Xpress / First-in-class small molecule inhibitor shows promise against pancreatic cancer in preclinical studies
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an experimental drug with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to target the "undruggable" PDZ domain of the GIPC1 protein, which helps different types of cancer, including pancreatic ...
Phys.org / Unexpected E. coli response may complicate peptide-based antibiotic combinations
A group of Cornell College students and their professor found surprising results in research on antimicrobial peptides, which are being studied as a method of combating antibiotic resistance. These peptides, part of the innate ...
Phys.org / August's total solar eclipse will sweep over Spain, Iceland and Greenland
For the first time in more than a century, a total solar eclipse is coming to mainland Spain with an even longer encore next summer.
Phys.org / Bringing it all into focus—computational microscope captures 25.2 billion pixels per second across a wide field of view
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But improving one of these properties typically comes at the expense of another. Now, a UC Berkeley–led ...
