Tech Xplore / Solar reactor uses old battery acid to turn plastic waste into clean hydrogen
Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor to break down hard-to-recycle forms of plastic waste—such as drink bottles, nylon textiles and polyurethane foams—using acid recovered from old car batteries, and converting ...
Medical Xpress / Physical activity and appropriate sleep linked to subsequent lower dementia risk
An estimated 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and both its prevalence and cost are expected to increase, with global costs projected to reach $2 trillion dollars by 2030. Current treatments for preventing or ...
Phys.org / Fluorescence imaging technique reveals hidden magnetic chemistry in living systems
A research team at the University of Tokyo has developed a new microscopy platform that can observe a previously hidden layer of biomolecular chemistry linked to weak magnetic fields. The work, led by Project Researcher Noboru ...
Phys.org / Oyster reefs stack up for shoreline protection
Oyster reef living shorelines have been found to provide a resilient and adaptive alternative to conventional hard coastal protection, reducing wave energy while supporting oyster colonization.
Phys.org / Social honey bees stay cool: How groups mitigate heat-triggered hormone spikes
Heat can change a honey bee's hormone levels, but only if the bee is alone. New research from MSU entomologist Zachary Huang shows that isolated honey bees experience a rapid hormonal rise when exposed to high temperatures, ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular map could unlock new treatments for heart and lung diseases
Scientists have created a new "molecular map" uncovering how an important human receptor involved in blood clotting and inflammation works—an advance that could help us design better drugs for conditions such as pulmonary ...
Medical Xpress / MRI technique enables long-term tracking of transplanted stem cell-derived heart cells
Researchers at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto have demonstrated a new way to monitor transplanted stem-cell-derived heart cells using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method allows ...
Phys.org / After milestone-rich lunar flyby, astronauts start trip home
The Artemis II astronauts wrapped up their lunar flyby as they continue their journey back to Earth on Tuesday, bringing with them rich celestial observations including little-known lunar craters, a solar eclipse and meteor ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover a 1,200-year-old Fijian island likely built from discarded shellfish remains
Located off the coast of Culasawani, in the Fiji archipelago, is an island that is made up of materials that might be part of someone's dinner. A recent study took a closer look at the 3,000-square-meter island and discovered ...
Tech Xplore / Bio-inspired structural design improves impact resistance and energy absorption
The delicate butterfly served as the inspiration for a new lightweight lattice structure that also boasts enhanced mechanical strength, impact resistance, and energy absorption capability through advanced structural design. ...
Phys.org / Photos show stunning views of the moon and Earth from the Artemis II mission
The Artemis II astronauts—three Americans and one Canadian—hurtled deeper into space than any other humans during a moon flyby Monday that marks NASA's lunar comeback.
Medical Xpress / Transport issues disrupt dialysis for kidney patients
A new UC Davis Health study reveals that transportation challenges create major barriers for patients with end-stage kidney disease who receive hemodialysis at a clinic. These challenges also have a negative impact on dialysis ...
