Phys.org / Nanoflowers rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their mitochondria
Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across medicine.
Phys.org / Nasal microbiome: Bacteria compete for scarce biotin, limiting growth of harmful staphylococci
Potentially dangerous staphylococci compete with other bacteria for biotin in the human nasal cavity. This could offer a new point of attack in the fight against the harmful bacteria.
Phys.org / Maybe that's not liquid water on Mars after all
Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far less probable. However, the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) detected ...
Phys.org / Mapping out the hidden mechanics behind why some fads spread like wildfire
Whether it is a whole friendship group migrating to using iPhones or a swath of classmates wanting the latest Lululemon waterbottle, network scientists have uncovered the hidden mechanics behind social trends.
Tech Xplore / Stretchable battery uses natural acids and gelatin for greener wearables
Researchers with McGill's Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design have developed a stretchable, eco-friendly battery suitable for use in wearable and implantable devices. The battery, which uses citric ...
Medical Xpress / Prefrontal cortex reaches back into the brain to shape how other regions function, study reveals
Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the brain's executive control center, ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop novel bathymetric framework for high-accuracy shallow-water mapping
Shallow seas serve as critical transition zones connecting land and the deep ocean, supplying essential resources for navigation, fisheries, energy exploration, and island reef development. Accurate bathymetric data form ...
Tech Xplore / Uncovering hidden losses in solar cells: New analysis method reveals the nature of defects
A joint research team has successfully identified, for the first time, the specific types of defects responsible for efficiency loss in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells.
Phys.org / NASA confirms support for delayed European Mars rover: ESA
NASA has confirmed that it will contribute to Europe's Martian rover Rosalind Franklin, which is scheduled to launch in 2028 after repeated delays, the European Space Agency said on Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / One in two people in the US is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, analysis shows
One in two people in the United States, just over half of the population, is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, according to a new systematic analysis by the American Academy of Neurology and the Institute for ...
Phys.org / Archaea can modify ribosomal RNA to survive extreme heat environments
Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments lethal to nearly all other forms of life.
Phys.org / Manufacturing the world's tiniest light-emitting diodes
Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can be manufactured on silicon ...
