Phys.org / Foldamer–protein pair unlocks precise building blocks for artificial molecular materials
Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to use these properties to make artificial materials. However, arranging proteins and synthetic molecules ...
Medical Xpress / Single gene injection reverses inherited heart disease in mice and patient-grown tissue
Melbourne researchers have made a gene therapy breakthrough that could restore heart function in children with genetic heart disease, sparing them the need for transplants.
Phys.org / Labrador Sea a key player in providing oxygen for deep North Atlantic life
Researchers from Cornell University have pinpointed the source of oxygen that sustains deep-sea life in the North Atlantic Ocean: the churning waters in the Labrador Sea.
Phys.org / Dice design solves board gaming's most surprisingly complex problem—who goes first?
It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first?
Medical Xpress / Brain receptors may act as biological brakes on chronic pain after nerve injury
Deep at the base of the brain, a tiny cluster of nerve cells serves as the body's natural pain reliever, dialing down pain signals traveling up the spinal cord. But nerve damage can flip this system into a hyperactive engine ...
Phys.org / What beats seeing eclipses from space? Try the northern and southern lights
Eclipses may be wondrous, but nothing beats seeing the northern and southern lights from space.
Phys.org / Metastable 3D printing 'ink' enables a closed-loop material cycle
Polymers used for light-based 3D printing are very stable because of their chemical structure, but they are typically hard to recycle. A research team led by Professor Dr. Eva Blasco, a researcher at the Institute for Molecular ...
Phys.org / Tourist sign translations made more culturally fluent by AI system
A new artificial intelligence, or AI, translation model could improve the accuracy and cultural appropriateness of Chinese-English public signs at tourist attractions, according to research in the International Journal of ...
Phys.org / New bone analysis challenges long-held theory on farming's arrival in Ireland and Great Britain
New research led by University College Dublin has rewritten a key chapter in Irish prehistory, revealing that bones long thought to mark the beginning of farming in Ireland belong to bear and wild boar, not cattle.
Phys.org / Scorching summer triggers record rockfalls in Alps, scientist says
The exceptionally hot summer in the Alps has been marked by a record number of rockfalls, some of them fatal, with "a large majority attributable to the climate crisis," according to scientist Ludovic Ravanel.
Phys.org / Japan to launch probe for Mars moons in October: Space agency
Japan's ambitious mission to collect and bring back samples from one of Mars' moons will lift off Oct. 20, the space agency announced Thursday.
Phys.org / Europe's heat waves scorch 80 million with 40 C heat
Europe's deadly, record-breaking summer heat waves sent temperatures above 40°C (104°F) in areas inhabited by 80 million people from mid-June to mid-August, according to official data analyzed by AFP, with many of those areas ...
