Kratom products can be seen at gas stations, vape shops or online. Marketed as "natural" and often sold in forms such as powders, capsules and gummies, kratom is gaining popularity in the U.S. among teens. But while it comes ...
Phys.org / How protein network cooperatively regulates iron balance in plants
Iron (Fe) is a vital micronutrient for plants, which is required for processes such as photosynthesis and enzyme activity. Plants must carefully manage iron levels to maintain health and productivity. They activate iron uptake ...
Phys.org / The masters behind Bronze Age rock art
For more than 200 years, Nordic Bronze Age rock art has sparked the interest of academics. Yet we still know surprisingly little about the individuals who carved these figures into the rock. A new doctoral dissertation at ...
Phys.org / Rain, not snow: Extraordinary warmth leaves mountains less snowy across the West
At UC Berkeley's Central Sierra Snow Laboratory, located at 6,894 feet above sea level near Donner Pass, researchers collect detailed measurements of the snowpack each day. There is still some snow on the ground to measure, ...
Phys.org / The invisible bubbles that spread cancer could also help stop it
Cancer is transported from one organ to another by invisible bubbles. Understanding these microscopic messengers could change the fight against metastasis.
Medical Xpress / Influence of environmental exposures in heart failure previously underestimated, say researchers
Whether heart failure develops and how it progresses depends not only on physical factors, but also on external influences and the duration of exposure, according to scientists at University Medical Center Mainz in collaboration ...
Phys.org / AI agents streamline discovery of safer, more efficient solid electrolytes for batteries
Solid-state batteries are widely viewed as a key technology for the future of energy storage, particularly for electric vehicles and large-scale renewable energy systems. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, which rely ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered immune 'traffic controller' can be hijacked by cytomegalovirus
Researchers from Monash University and the Lions Eye Institute have discovered a tissue protein that acts as a central 'traffic controller' for immune cells and can be hijacked by a virus to weaken immune responses.
Phys.org / Magnetic 'sweet spots' enable optimal operation of hole spin qubits
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. These systems process information ...
Phys.org / Remote sensing model enables early detection of vole outbreaks in Spanish farmlands
Researchers at the Regional Service for Agri-Food Research and Development (SERIDA) have developed a new large-scale remote sensing model that will enable comprehensive, high-resolution monitoring of fossorial water vole ...
