Phys.org / Quantum encryption method demonstrated at city-sized distances for the first time
Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to work on innovative new ways to encrypt information. One such method is quantum key distribution (QKD), ...
Phys.org / Newly identified protein interaction helps keep cells' recycling system in balance
Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between two proteins that helps keep a critical cellular recycling system in balance. The findings show that ...
Phys.org / Ancient Yangtze floods linked to Shijiahe decline, new 1,000-year rainfall record shows
A new study involving researchers from Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences has finally solved the mystery of what caused the collapse of an Ancient Chinese civilization—finding that widespread flooding was to blame. The ...
Phys.org / JWST uncovers rich organic chemistry in a nearby ultra-luminous infrared galaxy
A study led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA, using modeling techniques developed at the University of Oxford, has uncovered an unprecedented richness of small organic molecules in the deeply obscured nucleus ...
Tech Xplore / Harnessing degradation: Researchers pave way for more precise, responsive shape morphing implants
An international research team has demonstrated a new approach to 4D-printed shape-morphing implants that opens the door to increasingly personalized health care. The findings, outlined in the journal Additive Manufacturing, ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered immune cells help reduce toxic proteins in the brain
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy that leverages the immune system to combat diseases, is a powerful treatment option for certain cancers. The treatment relies on genetically modified ...
Phys.org / Students found to favor lesson-plan chatbots over ask-me-anything tools for exam preparation
With the rapid development of GPT-based models, educational chatbots are no longer limited to scripted dialogs. They can now support open-ended interaction and inquiry-based learning. In a study published in the journal Discover ...
Phys.org / Single-molecule SERS gets steadier as CB[7] traps a 'dancing' molecule
The global development of civilization diseases is a challenge that requires many modern solutions, not only in terms of treatment, but first and foremost in terms of early diagnostics. One of the highly sensitive methods ...
Phys.org / Skull fragments expand the frontiers of Iberian severed head ritual
The study of skull fragments from the Olèrdola (Olèrdola, Barcelona) and Molí d'Espígol (Tornabous, Lleida) sites has provided new evidence that would allow the ritual of "severed heads" from the northeast of the Iberian ...
Medical Xpress / Looking back in time: How eye movements shape memory recall
The eyes may reveal how experiences are recalled, according to new Baycrest research that suggests that shifts in eye movements play a critical role in memory retrieval. The findings offer new insight into how memory works ...
Medical Xpress / Obesity and aging: Study links inflammation to cognitive decline
Obesity and older age are strongly associated with low-grade inflammation in the body, a condition that appears closely linked to cognitive decline and dementia. A recent Baycrest study has found that participants with elevated ...
Medical Xpress / Global reviews show extent of injecting drug use and infectious diseases in prisons but low treatment access
One in nine people in prisons globally have a history of injecting drug use and their risk of HIV, viral hepatitis and tuberculosis is up to 45 times higher than in the general population. Yet access to infectious disease ...
