Phys.org / Silver-infused zeolite efficiently separates xenon from krypton for industrial use
An international team of researchers have found a better way to separate two rare and important gases—xenon and krypton—that are often combined in chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, and environmental processes.
Medical Xpress / Inflammation and metabolic stress combine to drive a new cell death pathway—mitoxyperilysis
In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, published in Cell, found that this combination ...
Phys.org / New building blocks of cell communication: How an invisible 'cap' could control electrical synapses
When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of information between two cells, ...
Medical Xpress / Study investigates treatment safety in cases of late HIV diagnosis
About 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV infection. In the United Kingdom, there are approximately 100,000 people affected. If the infection is not treated, the body will eventually be unable to defend itself ...
Phys.org / Sticky beginnings: Surface-bound gels may explain life's origins on Earth
How did life begin? An international team of researchers from Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and Germany suggest that the answer may lie in sticky, surface-bound gels that existed long before the first cells.
Phys.org / Fish protection curbs crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks across the Great Barrier Reef
New research reveals that one of the largest-ever marine conservation initiatives has helped to prevent more frequent crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) outbreaks on the Great Barrier Reef.
Phys.org / Bear teeth break free—the origin of unusual bear dentition
The dental development of modern bears does not follow the typical pattern seen in most mammals. The reason lies millions of years ago in the history of bear evolution. SNSB zoologists have identified two phases in bear evolution ...
Phys.org / Computational framework streamlines therapeutic RNA nanocarrier design
A research team led by professor Olivia Merkel, Chair of Drug Delivery at LMU and co-spokesperson of the Cluster for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Munich (CNATM) has developed the first integrated platform that combines molecular ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell organoids mimic aspects of early limb development
Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing how a specialized signaling center shapes both cell identity and tissue organization.
Phys.org / Simple gel jelly beads on liquid surface reveal secrets of slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes have been discovered to exhibit anomalously slow, long-lasting and small slips, adjacent to regular earthquakes where we sometimes feel catastrophic vibration. However, no one knows the reason why slow earthquakes ...
Phys.org / Delaying building block supply boosts self-assembly efficiency of complex systems, biophysicists demonstrate
The ability to self-organize is a key feature of biological systems and is widely found in nature: small building blocks that autonomously assemble give rise to macromolecules such as the cell nucleus, virus capsids, or complex ...
Medical Xpress / AI tools poised to transform global TB detection
Researchers have unveiled new AI tools, from smartphone cough analysis to child-friendly screening systems, which could transform how tuberculosis is detected, monitored and prevented.
