Phys.org / From artificial organs to advanced batteries: A breakthrough 3D-printable polymer
A new type of 3D-printable material that gets along with the body's immune system, pioneered by a University of Virginia research team, could lead to safer medical technology for organ transplants and drug delivery systems. ...
Medical Xpress / Diagnostics for pancreatic cancer can improve with the help of AI
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest form of cancer worldwide, mainly because the disease is often discovered late. Symptoms associated with these tumors are often non-specific, so patients and doctors do not immediately suspect ...
Phys.org / Lost signal: How solar activity silenced Earth's radiation
Researchers from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed seven years of data from the ERG (Arase) satellite and, for the first time, provided a detailed description of a ...
Medical Xpress / People with diabetes or fatty liver disease found less effective at obtaining energy from ketone bodies
The liver plays a central role in storing and supplying energy to the body. In type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, commonly referred to as fatty liver disease), mitochondria—the ...
Phys.org / Nine new-to-Vermont bee species discovered
A new count of Vermont's bee species has identified nine species not previously reported in the Green Mountain State, bringing the total number of species in Vermont to 352, more than any northern New England state.
Phys.org / First large-scale VR use in the classroom extends the boundaries of education
The use of virtual reality (VR) is expanding across industries, but its large-scale application in educational settings has remained largely unexplored. As the technical capabilities and affordability of VR tools continue ...
Phys.org / Researchers decode the chemistry behind a deadly genetic disorder
Northeastern University researchers used an original machine learning tool to predict how genetic mutations cause a rare metabolic disease known as OTC deficiency, uncovering some underlying biochemical mechanisms at play ...
Phys.org / Balloon telescope captures new details of matter swirling around black holes
An international collaboration of physicists including researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has made measurements to better understand how matter falls into black holes and how enormous amounts of energy and ...
Phys.org / Earth's earliest life 3.3 billion years ago revealed by faint biosignatures
A new study uncovered fresh chemical evidence of life in rocks more than 3.3 billion years old, along with molecular traces showing that oxygen-producing photosynthesis emerged nearly a billion years earlier than previously ...
Medical Xpress / CT colonography cost-effective for CRC screening in Black adults
In Black adults, computed tomography colonography (CTC) is cost-effective for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, according to a study published online Nov. 12 in Cancer Medicine.
Medical Xpress / Blink to the beat: Scientists discover that when we listen to music, we unconsciously blink our eyes
Yi Du and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences published an article in the open access journal PLOS Biology detailing their findings about a new way our bodies naturally respond to music. Given a steady beat, our ...
Phys.org / The hidden rule behind ignition: An analytic law governing multi-shock implosions for ultrahigh compression
Physicists at the University of Osaka have unveiled a breakthrough theoretical framework that uncovers the hidden physical rule behind one of the most powerful compression methods in laser fusion science—the stacked-shock ...
