Medical Xpress / Executive order calls for fewer routine childhood vaccines, doctors push back
A new executive order calls for American children to be routinely immunized against 11 diseases instead of the 17 now recommended by federal health officials.
Medical Xpress / Solving a mysterious inflammatory fever opens the book on a much bigger story
Three research teams working independently around the world have landed on the same discovery: A single molecular "handshake" inside our cells controls a family of inflammatory diseases, including one of the most common inherited ...
Phys.org / Corn-stalk sugars feed new bacterial strain designed to make useful chemicals
Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida ...
Tech Xplore / Electronic skin enables tunable touch and proximity sensing for robots and prosthetics
Recent advances in miniaturized and portable electronics, particularly wearable and flexible devices, have increased the demand for self-powered sensing technologies. Among these, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have ...
Phys.org / XENONnT detector narrows the hunt for dark matter
Using a detector filled with nearly 9 metric tons of liquid xenon, researchers have delivered some of the most sensitive dark matter results ever recorded. In the latest analysis from the XENON collaboration, working at the ...
Tech Xplore / How scandium can improve the durability of sodium-ion battery electrodes
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are increasingly popular alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Sodium (Na) is much more abundant in Earth's crust than lithium, creating an opportunity for lower costs. In addition, SIBs offer ...
Tech Xplore / New tech adds phone tracking to license plate readers, associating devices with identifiable cars
Imagine that you share a ride to work with the same colleague most mornings. As it passes by a license plate reader, the camera records the car, which can be linked through vehicle records to its registered owner. Beside ...
Phys.org / This pizza delivery study may change the way sellers view delivery services well beyond the foodservice industry
What can a pizza shop teach us about the dramatic shifts taking place in consumer marketing? Quite a lot, actually. New research focused on pizza delivery has found that consumer impatience is driving so much consumer decision-making ...
Medical Xpress / Brain immune cell map explains how defenses shift during Alzheimer's progression
The brain's immune cells are increasingly recognized as key players in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly how they change as the disease develops has remained unclear. A new study published in Nature Genetics provides the most ...
Tech Xplore / AI and electrolyte engineering open new paths for better batteries
Cornell researchers are using artificial intelligence to speed the search for better battery materials while using a creative approach to chemistry to expand the design space for electrolytes, unlocking new possibilities ...
Tech Xplore / Blade-coating strategy advances scalable production of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells
Chinese scientists have developed a method that could facilitate the large-scale production of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. The method employs a multidentate anchoring molecule-assisted co-deposition strategy to ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells rely on a cholesterol sensor to maintain balance, researchers discover
Every day, billions of cells in our body die and are removed as part of normal tissue maintenance. This continuous cleanup process is essential for keeping the immune system in balance and preventing harmful immune reactions ...
