Medical Xpress / Supercomputer simulations reveal early red blood cell damage in blood pumps
For patients with heart failure, blood pumps can be lifesaving. But the very forces that sustain circulation can also harm it, damaging red blood cells through hemolysis and compromising the body's oxygen supply. Now, supercomputer ...
Phys.org / Mesoporous silica catalyst enables α-allylation of simple ketones using allyl alcohols
A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols. This work holds the potential for use in the development of next-generation catalysts. The research ...
Tech Xplore / Do you trust me? A framework for making networks of robots and vehicles safer
From birds flying in formation to students working on a group project, the functioning of a group requires not only coordination and communication but also trust—each member must be confident in the others. The same is true ...
Phys.org / Climate change may produce 'fast-food' phytoplankton
We are what we eat. And in the ocean, most life-forms source their food from phytoplankton. These microscopic, plant-like algae are the primary food source for krill, sea snails, some small fish, and jellyfish, which in turn ...
Medical Xpress / Twin study suggests genes explain most of the link between IQ and socioeconomic status
New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socioeconomic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes shape ...
Medical Xpress / A new biomarker helps assess the aggressiveness of glioblastoma
Researchers from the Biomedical Data Science Laboratory (BDSLab) at the ITACA Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València have developed a new method based on magnetic resonance imaging that enables objective quantification ...
Phys.org / Webb reveals hidden details of W51 star formation
A team of University of Florida researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to capture photos of a star-forming region known as W51 with never-before-seen clarity and resolution. The long wavelengths of JWST's infrared ...
Phys.org / Physicist recreates neutron star reaction, reveals how explosive stars forge elements
A Mississippi State physicist has produced a direct laboratory measurement of a key nuclear reaction believed to occur during explosive bursts on neutron stars. These bursts forge heavier elements—the building blocks of planets ...
Tech Xplore / UV glow test measures air disinfection performance in minutes
The effectiveness of air disinfection devices may now be measured in minutes, rather than hours, with a new technique from University of Michigan Engineering. This is important for researchers developing better antiviral ...
Phys.org / Great hammerheads maintain peak hunting across wide temperature swings, biologging data suggest
Most predators slow down when ocean temperatures shift. Great hammerhead sharks don't—not significantly anyway. These ocean predators are masters of the "thermal hustle," maintaining peak hunting performance across a surprisingly ...
Phys.org / The benefits of community Trap-Neuter-Return programs for unowned cats
Although neighborhood cats may seem like a fun, charming presence, unowned cat populations have been criticized for causing harm to a community and its environment. Without proper management, stray cat populations can rise ...
Medical Xpress / Can AI manage an entire medical decision process?
Artificial intelligence has already proven it can perform specific medical tasks, such as interpreting X-rays or flagging risks in patient data. But caring for patients is a dynamic process that unfolds over time, requiring ...
