Phys.org / Surprisingly in sync: Sunlight and sediments reveal climate history of Antarctica
The remnants of ice attached to the coast offer astounding insights into the climate history of past millennia. An international research team led by the CNR Institute of Polar Sciences (Italy) and involving the University ...
Phys.org / Golden Gate method enables fully-synthetic engineering of therapeutically relevant bacteriophages
Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has ...
Medical Xpress / Air pollution may increase the risk of the neurodegenerative disease ALS
Prolonged exposure to air pollution can be linked to an elevated risk for serious neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and seems to speed up the pathological process, report researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. ...
Medical Xpress / Stool tests and diet patterns help predict risk of IBD flare-ups
Regular stool tests already used in NHS care, combined with dietary information, could help identify people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at higher risk of relapse, a major study appearing in the journal Gut suggests.
Medical Xpress / FDA approves first treatment for Menkes disease in children
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the Zycubo (copper histidinate) injection as the first treatment for Menkes disease in pediatric patients. Approval of Zycubo was granted to Sentynl Therapeutics.
Tech Xplore / Simple equations predict hydrogen storage in porous materials
A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy storage. With millions ...
Medical Xpress / A new robotic system could perform delicate eye surgery
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision. There are currently a few ...
Tech Xplore / A self-assembling shortcut to better organic solar cells
Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are vital for converting sunlight into electricity. Their findings offer a promising shortcut to producing ...
Phys.org / Mercury's BepiColombo Mio and Earth's GEOTAIL show shared wave frequency properties across planetary magnetospheres
An international team from Kanazawa University (Japan), Tohoku University (Japan), LPP (France), and partners has demonstrated that chorus emissions, natural electromagnetic waves long studied in Earth's magnetosphere, also ...
Phys.org / Innovations in spatial imaging could unlock higher wheat yields
Researchers at the John Innes Center and the Earlham Institute are pioneering powerful single-cell visualization techniques that could unlock higher yields of global wheat.
Tech Xplore / Compostable circuits could slash environmental impact of electronics
A new type of circuit board which is almost entirely biodegradable could help reduce the environmental harms of electronic waste, its inventors say.
Medical Xpress / Noninvasive brain scanning could send signals to paralyzed limbs
People with spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the damage to their spinal cords ...
