Phys.org / Single-molecule RNA mapping may reveal how shape shifts steer health and disease
Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures influence gene regulation, a fundamental process that affects ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD medications show dosage sweet spots, with little gain above limits
Researchers have identified the best dosage for each ADHD medication using data from thousands of people with the condition. The new study published in The Lancet Psychiatry provides the most comprehensive view of dosage ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Evolution may reshape how urban forests, wetlands and reefs protect cities
Over the past decade, cities around the world have increasingly turned to nature-based infrastructure to become more resilient in the face of a changing climate. Urban forests provide shade during heat waves and improve air ...
Phys.org / A hidden threshold enables tunable control of liquid crystal helices for energy-efficient technologies
Liquid crystals are an integral part of modern technology, ranging from displays to advanced sensory systems. In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from the Institute of Experimental Physics of the Slovak ...
Phys.org / Mitochondrial fission helps immune cells kill bacteria and could counter resistance
Alternative therapies that aid the body's immune system to fight bacteria have shown promise in addressing the global threat of antibiotic resistance. University of Queensland researchers have found when under attack, the ...
Phys.org / Exploiting interfacial ionic mobility to make heat-moldable nanoparticle aggregates
If you have ever warped a cheap plastic cup by pouring coffee into it, then you have witnessed thermoplasticity in action. Thermoplasticity is the ability of a material to become pliable under heating. In industry, thermoplasticity ...
Science X / Are remoras the ocean's weirdest hitchhikers? These suckerfish invade manta rays in the most intimate of places
Remoras (family Echeneidae) are ray-finned fish that are known to attach themselves to large marine animals, such as whales, sharks, and turtles. They get a free ride and sometimes food, and in return, often provide cleaning ...
Phys.org / Fast-moving Gofar fault reveals quiet zones that may govern big earthquake timing
University of Delaware geologist Jessica Warren has contributed to research that brings us one step closer to better understanding how earthquakes operate. Situated along a stretch of the equator in the Pacific Ocean, between ...
Medical Xpress / Why only some patients get liver disease: New protein pathway may help forecast alpha1-antitrypsin outcomes
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, an inherited disorder affecting 100,000 people in the U.S., causes a progressive and incurable lung disease. A subset of patients with the condition—about 10% to 15%—also develop liver disease ...
Phys.org / 'Last titan': Southeast Asia's biggest dinosaur discovered
A new type of long-necked plant-eating dinosaur—the largest ever found in Southeast Asia—has been revealed in a study led by researchers at University College London (UCL), Mahasarakham University, Suranaree University of ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum dot emitter delivers near-identical telecom photons at 40 million per second
