Phys.org / Kinetic decoupling-recoupling strategy enables 79% yield of ethylene and propylene from polyethylene
In a study published in Nature Chemical Engineering, a team has developed a kinetic decoupling-recoupling (KDRC) strategy that enables the conversion of polyethylene (PE) to ethylene and propylene with a yield of 79%.
Phys.org / Chemists synthesize a fungal compound that holds promise for treating brain cancer
For the first time, MIT chemists have synthesized a fungal compound known as verticillin A, which was discovered more than 50 years ago and has shown potential as an anticancer agent.
Medical Xpress / Cracking the code of Parkinson's: How supercomputers are pointing to new treatments
More than 1 million Americans live with tremors, slowed movement and speech changes caused by Parkinson's disease—a degenerative and currently incurable condition, according to the Parkinson's Foundation and the Mayo Clinic. ...
Phys.org / Euclid dataset of a million galaxies proves connection between galaxy mergers and AGN
Astronomers have long debated the role of galaxy mergers in powering active supermassive black holes. Now an unprecedented dataset of a million galaxies from the Euclid telescope provides evidence that mergers play a dominant ...
Medical Xpress / Why stress can make your hair fall out: A two-part reaction
It's well known that stress can trigger hair loss. A new paper explores how this happens and how our response to stress can have long-term consequences for our scalps, research that may eventually yield insights into autoimmune ...
Phys.org / How cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact to continue dividing relentlessly
Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have made a major discovery about cancer cells. This new understanding could help make chemotherapy work better, reduce side effects, and lead to the development ...
Phys.org / Tailored single atom platforms hold promise for next-generation catalysis
Catalysts play a vital role in modern society, supporting processes from metallurgy to pharmaceutical production. To reduce environmental impact and maximize efficiency, science has pushed the boundaries between homogeneous ...
Phys.org / Trump NASA nominee aims to beat China in new moon race
Jared Isaacman, US President Donald Trump's two-time appointee to lead NASA, said it was his goal that the United States beat rival China in the race to return humans to the moon, during a Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / NeuMap: A pioneering map of neutrophils that redefines their role in health, infection and inflammation
Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet despite their importance, until now very little was known about how they truly function, how they change ...
Phys.org / Researchers highlight need for caution in selecting global soil moisture data
A new study led by Prof. Duan Weili from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate datasets for global soil moisture research. ...
Phys.org / New universal law predicts how most objects shatter, from dropped bottles to exploding bubbles
When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into such a huge variety ...
