Levels of depression and anxiety remain high and largely unrecognized among an estimated 1.8 million clinically vulnerable people in the UK, many of whom continue to live significantly restricted lives to protect them from ...
Phys.org / Why global businesses are becoming quietly entwined with the military
Big corporations are not just influenced by governments anymore—they are being increasingly influenced by the military, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. The research, published in the Journal of World ...
Phys.org / DNA 'barcodes' help researchers pinpoint gold nanoparticles that can strike cancer at its power source
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a high-throughput method to identify gold nanoparticles capable of delivering therapies directly to mitochondria (the energy centers inside cancer cells). ...
Tech Xplore / Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23% longer life—without increasing the charging time
Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast ...
Phys.org / A real 'intergenerational equity' budget would address our unceasing environmental decline
Last night, Labor unveiled a budget designed to tackle intergenerational equity in Australia through bold tax reform. It comes at a time when politics is consumed with the international shocks created by US President Donald ...
Tech Xplore / End-of-life batteries yield next-generation cathode under mild conditions, with 95% reuse
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers, in collaboration with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory, have developed a new strategy to transform low-value battery waste into a next-generation cathode material ...
Phys.org / How the world's missing beetles could save the rainforest
Describing new species can take decades. But scientists are working to identify new ways to speed up our understanding of this hidden biodiversity. By looking at the genetic data of thousands of beetle species, our researchers ...
Phys.org / Climate change is reshaping Europe's protected areas, and managers are adapting
New research shows how climate change is reshaping protected area management, though more funding and scientific knowledge are needed to facilitate the process. The Natura 2000 network, the world's largest network of protected ...
Phys.org / Gentle, laser-driven flows enable precise 3D imaging of delicate samples
Until now, it has been technically nearly impossible to rotate highly sensitive samples in all directions under a microscope without making contact. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed ...
Phys.org / Giving X-ray vision a sense of direction
Whether in tooth enamel or in nanomaterials made of silicon, the orientation of tiny internal structures often determines the properties of a material. A new X-ray method can even make this nano-order visible when the structures ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis: It's medicine if you're rich enough, a crime if you're not
In Britain, whether cannabis is treated as medicine or a crime may depend less on medical need than on the ability to pay. In 2018, the UK government changed drug policy, allowing specialist doctors to prescribe cannabis-based ...
Medical Xpress / Children with HIV are living longer but face a rising obesity risk
Advances in HIV treatment have transformed what was once a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition. Today, children living with HIV are surviving—and increasingly thriving—into adolescence and adulthood.
