Phys.org / Scientists 'see' nanoscale forces, providing evidence of electric fields at the air‑water interface
Bubbles are round, and we know surface tension does that. But squeeze that gas-liquid boundary into a space only a few tens of nanometers wide—could other forces be at work?
Medical Xpress / Model may help identify women at risk for overactive bladder
A machine learning model can predict overactive bladder (OAB) risk in women using common reproductive and sociodemographic data, according to a study published online Aug. 12 in JMIR Medical Informatics.
Phys.org / Temporary liver coating may improve safety and targeting of mRNA vaccines and cancer therapies
With the commercialization of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, research and development into the application of mRNA in vaccines and pharmaceuticals is accelerating. In particular, it is attracting attention not only in vaccines ...
Medical Xpress / Brain activity reveals how people juggle changing goals in real time
Nature never sits still, and neither does anything living within it, since paths keep shifting as things move through the world. Decisions work the same way, changing shape as we go rather than settling once and for all. ...
Medical Xpress / Women make up nearly 70% of the global health workforce, even as the world faces a shortage of 34 million health workers
Women have driven the expansion of the global health workforce over the past three decades, yet substantial workforce shortages remain, according to a new study published in The Lancet Public Health. Researchers estimate ...
Medical Xpress / Why you move—not just how often—could affect dementia risk
For years, scientists have known that regular physical activity can help lower the risk of dementia. But new USC research suggests that it's not only the amount but also the activity's context—for work or for leisure—that ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists unveil skeletal remains believed to be ritual offering in Peru
Archaeologists on Tuesday unveiled the skeletal remains of an adult they believe was buried as an offering near the base of Huaca Pucllana, an ancient adobe pyramid in Peru's capital of Lima.
Tech Xplore / Three-stage AI system rebuilds blurred, missing facial details in 30 seconds
Imagine finding a very old family photograph that has faded over time. Parts of the image are missing, the faces are blurry, and years spent inside a cardboard album have erased many details. Restoring such an image traditionally ...
Phys.org / Homebuyers are choosing homes with much higher carbon footprints than they realize
When people shop for a home, they tend to focus on the information listings put front and center: price, floor area, number of bedrooms and location. Rarely do listings show how a home can shape a household's carbon footprint ...
Phys.org / 'Hidden stars' suggest that distant galaxies are much more massive than they appear
Astronomers have discovered that the most massive galaxies in the early universe contain far more small stars than expected. As a result, these early galaxies were likely much more massive than initial measurements suggested. ...
Phys.org / A single asteroid impact may explain the appearance of Mars' moon Deimos
Deimos, the smaller and outermost of Mars' two moons, is roughly oval in shape and has a deep depression at its south pole. Unlike its heavily scarred sister moon, Phobos, Deimos is covered by a loose layer of dust and rubble—a ...
Medical Xpress / Cabin crew at greater risk of radiation‑based cancer than nuclear technologists, new study suggests
What jobs are most associated with deaths from radiation-related cancer? Surprisingly, the answer is cabin crew and pilots—ahead of nuclear technologists, whose work involves handling radioactive materials used in medical ...
