Tech Xplore / Modular system simultaneously produces purified water and hydrogen
A Korean research team has developed a new energy-harvesting water purification system capable of producing both purified water and hydrogen simultaneously.
Medical Xpress / New bioadhesive strategy can prevent fibrous encapsulation around device implants on peripheral nerves
Peripheral nerves—the network connecting the brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system to the rest of the body—transmit sensory information, control muscle movements, and regulate automatic bodily functions. Bioelectronic ...
Phys.org / Why are some people extremely competitive while others are so chill?
If you've ever been on the sidelines at an under-12's team sport, you will know that some children are fiercely competitive, while others are there simply to socialize.
Medical Xpress / To treat long COVID, we must learn from historical chronic illnesses, medical researchers say
In a paper published in Trends in Immunology, scientists and doctors highlight the importance of studying long COVID in the context of other post-acute infection syndromes or chronic illnesses. By analyzing historical accounts ...
Tech Xplore / Guided learning helps previously 'untrainable' neural networks learn effectively
Even networks long considered "untrainable" can learn effectively with a bit of a helping hand. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have shown that a brief period of alignment ...
Medical Xpress / Animals may feel like us, but the way we think is different
Children universally believe animals experience emotions and feelings but are reluctant to say they have human-like thoughts, which can influence how we treat other species throughout life, according to a new study. Forrest ...
Phys.org / Ocean currents shape fish survival in South Georgia's fjords
Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia's fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel icefish. The species is a key component of the island's rich marine ecosystem and is an important ...
Phys.org / Governments need to prepare for more frequent large floods
Flood management is a priority for many governments around the world. Recent floods have led to hundreds of deaths and caused significant damage in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Albania, Kenya and elsewhere.
Phys.org / Single-photon teleportation achieved between distant quantum dots for the first time
An international research team involving Paderborn University has achieved a crucial breakthrough on the road to a quantum internet. For the first time ever, the polarization state of a single photon emitted from a quantum ...
Phys.org / New research spotlights the value women bring to audit teams and the workplace
Audit teams with more women benefit firms and clients alike by delivering higher-quality audits at a lower cost, according to new research from the University at Buffalo School of Management.
Phys.org / The ship-timber beetle's fungal partner: More than just a food source
The ship-timber beetle (Elateroides dermestoides) is a species of ambrosia beetle. Unlike many of its relatives, which are social insects that live in colonies, it is solitary and does not live with other members of its species.
Phys.org / Climate-sensitive tropical pollinators require region-responsive conservation planning, study argues
Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beetles, shape global food production and support vast natural ecosystems. For years, efforts to protect these critical species have leaned on broad global targets and uniform ...
