Medical Xpress / Researchers discover the eye's hidden cleanup system
Many of the world's leading causes of irreversible blindness, including glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, share a common problem: the buildup of fluid, waste and inflammatory debris in the back of the eye.
Phys.org / Scientists use dual-frequency images to explore black hole plasma physics
The first-ever image of a black hole—a glowing, ring-like structure at the heart of galaxy M87—was unveiled to the world in a landmark moment in 2019. Now, researchers have taken the next big step—moving beyond capturing ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop methods for breaking down forever chemicals
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed two processes—hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma combined with gas dispersion—to break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ...
Medical Xpress / One of the oldest psychedelics meets modern brain imaging
For millennia, people have used the psychedelic mescaline as a spiritual and religious tool. Mescaline is a naturally occurring chemical found in cacti, mainly peyote cacti, that are located in the Southwest United States ...
Phys.org / Deep-space CubeSat could stretch solar storm warnings from 15 minutes to 3 hours
Space weather warnings could be received hours before Earth is hit rather than minutes with the help of a miniature UK-built instrument soon to be stationed in deep space. MAGIC (MAGnetometer from Imperial College) is part ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop more photostable near-infrared fluorescent dye for longer surgical imaging
Researchers in Korea have developed a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye with significantly improved photostability, overcoming the rapid signal fading that has long limited fluorescence imaging during surgery for cancer, ...
Phys.org / Ancient stone tools reveal complex nomadic lifestyles in Armenian Highlands
A team of international scientists led by Dr. Ariel Malinsky-Buller, together with Ph.D. students David Nora, Ioannis Oikonomou and Dominik Rogall from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has uncovered new insights into the ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-robust acoustic chip can handle 12 times more power for 6G and satellite links
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel chip architecture that enables the miniature acoustic devices inside smartphones to withstand more than 12 times higher power ...
Medical Xpress / Mindful use of digital technology could reduce workplace burnout, study finds
Employees who engage with digital technology more mindfully are better protected against technostress, exhaustion and poorer mental well-being—and a new tool can now measure this capacity, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / Brain-penetrating nanoparticles, ultrasound and microbubbles show promise in treating glioblastoma
University of Virginia Comprehensive Cancer Center scientists have developed a promising new experimental approach to targeting glioblastoma, the most common and deadliest brain cancer. The approach could overcome many of ...
Tech Xplore / New electronic skin brings self-healing sensors to underwater robots and divers
Underwater environments are among the harshest operating conditions for electronic devices. Divers and underwater robots depend on sensors to navigate, communicate and handle objects, but conventional sensors are fragile, ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanical engineers develop buttons that rise with light
No wires. No actuators. Shine light on the metal surface, and it rises like a button. KAIST researchers have developed a metal structure that changes shape using light, without any light-absorbing coating. This technology ...
