Phys.org / The path to solar weather forecasts is paved with drops in cosmic rays
At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ways to forecast it, ...
Tech Xplore / The best hydrogen for heavy-duty transport is locally produced and green, say researchers
If trucks ran on hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions from heavy-duty road transport could be significantly reduced. At the same time, a new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows ...
Medical Xpress / How weight loss benefits the health of your fat tissue
It is well known that obesity typically leads to inflammation and dysfunction of fat tissue that increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Tech Xplore / Smart gate paves way for reliable hydrogen from seawater
Researchers have developed a simple, scalable way to reliably generate hydrogen with impure water, such as seawater or industrial wastewater.
Phys.org / Plants use bacterial-like gene to make alkaloids, offering new route for sustainable medicines
Plants make substances called alkaloids to protect themselves, and humans have long taken advantage of these chemicals, using them in painkillers, treatments for disease and household products such as caffeine and nicotine.
Medical Xpress / From immune evasion to activation: A new cancer vaccine strategy
A research team led by Professor Chen Peng from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University has developed a novel cancer immunotherapy strategy that forces tumors to expose themselves to the immune ...
Phys.org / US to repeal the basis for its climate rules: What to know
President Donald Trump's administration is finalizing its repeal of a foundational scientific determination that underpins the US government's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, with an announcement expected ...
Phys.org / Robotic nanoprobe enables precise extraction of a single mitochondrion from a living cell
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic syndrome. Gently extracting a single mitochondrion from within a living cell—without ...
Medical Xpress / Near-atomic imaging reveals promising target for 'Brain on Fire' condition
Scientists have identified a promising target for treatment of a devastating autoimmune disease affecting the brain.
Phys.org / Global power struggles over the ocean's finite resources call for creative diplomacy
Oceans shape everyday life in powerful ways. They cover 70% of the planet, carry 90% of global trade, and support millions of jobs and the diets of billions of people. As global competition intensifies and climate change ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Intermittent fasting's link to gut bacteria could combat obesity
Although she's not an entomologist, Maggie Stanislawski, Ph.D., spends hours a day studying bugs. The assistant professor of biomedical informatics specializes in the gut microbiome, an environment swimming with trillions ...
Phys.org / Cat disease challenges what scientists thought about coronaviruses
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have uncovered new details about how a once-deadly coronavirus disease in cats spreads through the immune system. The findings may help scientists better understand long ...
