Medical Xpress / Study finds key mechanism driving neuroblastoma progression
A new study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: the shape and structure of the extracellular matrix.
Phys.org / Theory for aerosol droplets from contaminated bubbles may shed light on spread of pollution, microplastics, and more
Bubbles burst when their caps rupture. Children discover this phenomenon every summer day, but it also underpins key mechanisms for the spread of pollutants, contaminants, and even infectious disease through the generation ...
Medical Xpress / New wearable device offers continuous, noninvasive hydration monitoring for daily use
With another hot Texas summer underway, the threat of dehydration always looms. Though this condition can range from inconvenient to life-threatening, it's tough to track.
Phys.org / The dark side of time: Scientists develop nuclear clock method to detect dark matter using thorium-229
For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter—an invisible substance believed to make up about 80% of the universe's mass and needed to explain a variety of physical phenomena. Numerous ...
Medical Xpress / Improving methods for diagnosing esophageal disorders
Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a more accurate and standardized approach to interpreting a common test used to evaluate esophageal motor disorders, according to a study published in Gastroenterology.
Phys.org / Neutrinos could have a secret life: Study suggests they may interact secretly during massive star collapse
Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.
Phys.org / Scores of exoplanets may be larger than realized
In new research, University of California, Irvine astronomers describe how more than 200 known exoplanets are likely much larger than previously thought. It's a finding that could change which distant worlds researchers consider ...
Phys.org / Why many Americans still think Darwin was wrong, yet the British do not
One hundred years after a Tennessee teacher named John Scopes started a legal battle over what the state's schools can teach children, Americans are still divided over evolution.
Medical Xpress / Skin swabs could detect Parkinson's disease up to seven years before symptoms appear
A new study has revealed promising progress in developing a non-invasive sampling method to detect early signs of Parkinson's disease—up to seven years before motor symptoms appear—by analyzing the chemical makeup of ...
Medical Xpress / Medical tourism for bariatric/weight reduction surgery needs urgent regulation, say experts
Medical tourism for bariatric and weight-reduction surgery needs urgent regulation to protect recipients' health, especially as the data show that tourist numbers are increasing despite the advent of weight loss drugs, say ...
Phys.org / New technique using Raman scattering can dramatically improve laser linewidth for better quantum computing
Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand—a discovery that could revolutionize quantum computing, atomic clocks ...
Phys.org / Researchers demonstrate error-resistant quantum gates using exotic anyons for computation
The quantum computing revolution draws ever nearer, but the need for a computer that makes correctable errors continues to hold it back.
