Medical Xpress / Once-weekly brisk interval walk rivals thrice-weekly for fat loss with the same total workout time
A research team from the School of Public Health at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has found that brisk interval walking performed once a week can significantly improve body fat reduction ...
Phys.org / New quantum protocol breaks distance and speed barriers in fiber networks
Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China have successfully deployed a multi-mode quantum relay network, achieving matter–matter entanglement over 14.5 kilometers, according to media reports.
Phys.org / Long-overlooked gene for deglycosylating enzyme in fish embryo identified
RIKEN researchers have determined the molecular structure of an enzyme that occurs in fish. This could shed light on molecular processes in a wide range of marine organisms. The work is published in the Journal of Biological ...
Phys.org / A timeline of destruction and discovery: 180 years of 'plant destroyer' research
A microscopic "plant destroyer" not only helped trigger one of the deadliest famines in modern history but also reshaped global agriculture and gave birth to an entirely new scientific discipline. Now, nearly 180 years after ...
Phys.org / Analytical framework tracks response diversity over time, linking it to ecosystem stability
An international research team led by National Taiwan University has developed a new analytical framework based on Empirical Dynamic Modeling. This framework can quantify how response diversity varies over time using time-series ...
Phys.org / British scientists among winners of top Spanish award
British chemists David Klenerman and Shankar Balasubramanian joined French biophysicist Pascal Mayer in winning Spain's top science award on Wednesday for DNA sequencing research that helped combat coronavirus.
Phys.org / Most people don't know what they don't know, but think they do
Do you know what the Apple logo looks like? Chances are, you think you do. It's ubiquitous and iconic. How could you not know it? But when tested, it turns out very few people can remember all the features of the logo. One ...
Tech Xplore / Price shocks from the Iran war power solar sales in energy-hungry Asia
Soaring costs for fuel due to the Iran war are leading panicked consumers in hard-hit Asia toward rooftop solar power, a likely windfall for China as the world's largest provider of solar technology.
Tech Xplore / Rooftop antenna panels offer a faster, smarter ground station for crowded skies
Engineers at the University of California San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering and Qualcomm Institute have developed a more efficient, scalable way to handle satellite communication traffic, one that could significantly ...
Phys.org / Light-activated copper(II) complexes achieve efficient anti-Markovnikov alkene hydration
The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production of pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and fine chemicals. However, conventional acid-catalyzed ...
Phys.org / Molecular glue could hijack cells' natural machinery to help treat diseases
Proteins do most of the work in our body's cells. But when a protein is too active or does not function properly, it can lead to disease or other health problems. Researchers from the University of Toronto have discovered ...
Phys.org / Wear and tear changes measurable PFAS levels in firefighter hoods, gloves and wildland gear
One of the first steps in addressing health concerns is measurement. For firefighters, one health concern is that their gear commonly contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called "forever chemicals" because ...
