Tech Xplore / 3D silicon circuits bring denser computer chips closer to reality
By stacking transistors on top of one another, rather than laying them side by side on a flat chip, many electronic engineers are hopeful that vast amounts of computing power could be packed into tiny spaces, all while cutting ...
Medical Xpress / Macrophages in 'marathon mode' may drive skin granulomas, pointing to new therapies
An international research team has succeeded in elucidating key immunological and biochemical mechanisms underlying granulomatous skin diseases. The findings, recently published in Science Advances, identify new therapeutic ...
Medical Xpress / Safe firearm storage may reduce pediatric lead exposure in households with guns
In homes with guns, proper storage is important in preventing injuries and deaths. Now, researchers have found a secondary benefit: Gun owners may be able to minimize children's exposure to lead, an environmental toxin, by ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected chromosome interaction fuels aggressive cancers, researchers discover
Published in Nature, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center report a previously unrecognized change in how the cell's genetic material is packaged into structures called ...
Phys.org / Terahertz imaging maps spatial chirality in materials with 100-micrometer resolution
In nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known as chiral objects, derived from the Greek word for "hand," since left and right hands share the ...
Phys.org / Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past
Using more than a decade of observations from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), researchers measured the motions of millions of stars across the Small Magellanic Cloud with unprecedented precision. The new ...
Medical Xpress / Aspirin may unmask silent bladder cancer by triggering bleeding
The presence of blood cells in urine is a sign of bladder cancer. Because aspirin blocks platelets from forming harmful blood clots, the medication can cause mild bleeding or worsen existing bleeding in the urinary tract. ...
Medical Xpress / How aging cells may trigger heart attacks and strokes uncovered
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a molecular pathway that drives certain stressed or aging cells to become abnormally active, causing inflammation inside blood vessel plaques. ...
Tech Xplore / Dust-prone desert of the Southwest may be ideal for solar energy
Solar energy developers eyeing parts of southern New Mexico may have less to worry about than expected when it comes to dust. A new study led by University of Texas at El Paso researchers concludes that photovoltaic panels ...
Medical Xpress / ACT-based program helps parents of children with disabilities handle stress, randomized trial shows
Parents of children with ADHD, autism and other disabilities reported increased psychological flexibility and reduced stress after participating in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy–based program Navigator ACT. The results ...
Medical Xpress / Women with kidney disease are undertested, undertreated and left behind by decades of male-dominated research
Women with chronic kidney disease are less likely than men to be diagnosed, represented in research and given treatments that have been properly tested in them. That is the central finding of a new paper published today in ...
Phys.org / Strain creates moiré 2D materials without twisting or stacking, opening more scalable route
Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors—without relying on the traditionally used difficult-to-control twisting and stacking ...
