Phys.org / Hyperdoped silicon photodiode advances short-wave infrared detection at room temperature
Detecting short-wave infrared (SWIR) light, a region of the electromagnetic spectrum just beyond the light visible to the human eye, could be advantageous for many real-world applications. For instance, it could enable more ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly one in five Medicaid-eligible adults may miss new 80-hour work rule
A new study found that nearly 20% of eligible adults in Medicaid expansion states are in danger of not meeting the minimum work hours that will be required nationwide beginning Jan. 1. Women, unmarried people, white individuals ...
Phys.org / Airborne tuberculosis bacteria may mutate as they dry, revealing a target to curb drug resistance
Tuberculosis bacteria released into the air from infected individuals dry out to form infectious particles that are second only to measles in contagiousness. Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have discovered specific mechanisms ...
Phys.org / Egypt's deserts were once home to a diverse shark community
During the Late Cretaceous period, parts of Egypt were covered in water. A new study, published in the journal Cretaceous Research, describes new evidence that this tropical sea was home to a diverse community of sharks. ...
Phys.org / Scientists put algae to work making fuel. AI reveals which cells are pulling their weight
Algae have a habit of turning up where they're not wanted. They coat your swimming pool in green gunk, cling to rocks at the beach and even make headlines when they take over prominent reservoirs, such as the White House ...
Tech Xplore / 'Gamified' DDoS attacks wage psychological warfare against NATO states, finds study
First-of-its-kind research from Finland's Aalto University School of Business reveals the modus operandi and operating model of the pro-Russian hacking group responsible for thousands of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) ...
Medical Xpress / Nurse-coordinated collaborative care improved outcomes in patients with heart failure
Days alive and out of hospital were significantly increased in patients with heart failure when a nurse-coordinated collaborative care model was introduced, according to results presented in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress ...
Medical Xpress / New AI method can support real-time management of infectious diseases
For the past 25 years, one discipline has been revolutionizing epidemiology: phylodynamics. By using genetic sequences, scientists can study how pathogens evolve. Thanks to mathematics, these data can be coherently organized ...
Phys.org / The hidden physics behind the shape of rose thorns
Roses are known for their thorns, the sharp structures that can sting and prickle the skin. Thorns, botanically known as prickles, are thought to discourage animals from feeding on plants and may also help climbing roses ...
Medical Xpress / Estimated glucose disposal rate inversely linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia
There is a negative link between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men, according to a study published online Aug. 25 in The Aging Male.
Medical Xpress / Cancer is quantum: Studies show cancer cells may occupy limited, shared states like quantized energy levels
Andrea Califano began his career as a physicist. But that's not why he's now calling cancer a quantum disease. "We're really just following the data," says Califano, the Clyde '56 and Helen Wu Professor of Chemical Biology ...
Phys.org / Researchers make non-recyclable flame-retardant EV composites recyclable
Korean researchers have developed a recyclable flame-retardant composite that overcomes a fundamental limitation of conventional flame-retardant composites, which cannot be recycled once cured, while maintaining excellent ...
