Medical Xpress / Psilocybin to target persistent concussion symptoms in Australia's first clinical trial
Monash University researchers have launched Australia's first clinical trial to test whether the psychedelic drug psilocybin is an effective treatment for persistent post-concussion symptoms.
Phys.org / How directing water flows in the landscape could support groundwater and surface water streams
Researchers at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research have investigated how water from streams can be stored in the aquifer during wet periods. Using an area in the lower Spree catchment in Brandenburg as ...
Phys.org / New hybrid materials separate rare earths without harsh chemicals
Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential for everyday technologies such as smartphones, LED lights, wind turbines and many medical applications. At the same time, supply chains are under pressure because of the geographic ...
Phys.org / Modern human skeletal biology needs to move beyond the strict male/female binary, scientists argue
Human skeletal biologists traditionally provide sex estimations as part of establishing biological profiles (skeletal sex, age-at-death, stature, ancestry/population affinity) for skeletonized remains, often using the shapes ...
Phys.org / Online courses drive deeper learning when autonomy, social engagement and strong tasks connect
Many people do not finish a massive open online course (MOOC). This does not match the goal of large-scale online learning. Learners have different goals and backgrounds. Xiaomei Wei's dissertation research looks at what ...
Phys.org / Electron beam curing could unlock tougher, faster coatings for packaging and cars
Coatings are everywhere. A thin protective layer, often barely visible. They keep out moisture, sunlight and rust, helping products last longer. Think of laminate on kitchen cabinets, automotive body coatings or the outer ...
Medical Xpress / Utah's stricter 0.05 BAC limit significantly reduces drunk driving fatalities, analysis finds
A new analysis has found that after Utah lowered the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving from 0.08 to 0.05 g/dL, alcohol-related crash fatalities declined significantly more in Utah than in its six contiguous ...
Medical Xpress / Your gut talks to your liver: Study reveals how microbes influence liver function through DNA 'switches'
A study led by scientists from the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) has uncovered how the gut microbiome can influence gene activity in the liver by acting on short stretches of regulatory DNA that function ...
Phys.org / Engineering quantum Hall stripes in 2D materials inside electromagnetic cavities
Quantum materials, materials with properties that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved to be highly promising for the development of ultra-efficient electronic devices, quantum processors, highly precise ...
Phys.org / How a shape-shifting tiny rover inspired by Japanese toys autonomously explored the moon
Moon missions come in all shapes and sizes, from car-sized rovers packed with scientific equipment to towering rocket payloads—and now, a small, shape-shifting machine that is about the size of the average palm.
Medical Xpress / A higher-dose flu shot could spare millions of older adults a hospital stay
Influenza is a seasonal condition that causes coughing, sneezing, mild fever and aches in most cases. However, it can sometimes take a serious turn, leading to hospitalization, especially for young children, adults over 65 ...
Tech Xplore / All-optical signal processor developed to break AI data center transmission bottleneck
A research team led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed a novel integrated all-optical signal processor (OSP) to address the massive data transmission demands of next-generation AI systems, particularly ...
