Tech Xplore / A faster, greener method to recycle lithium-ion batteries can also ease supply chain issues
As global demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to surge, a team of Rice University researchers has developed a faster, more energy-efficient way to recover critical minerals from spent batteries, potentially easing ...
Medical Xpress / Living longer with less burden of cancer treatment: New endpoints defined for cancer trials
An international group of experts led by the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) at MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna has established endpoints for clinical trials in patients with cancer and isolated metastases. ...
Phys.org / From pet to pest: Research warns invasive goldfish are reshaping freshwater ecosystems
A new peer-reviewed study conducted by researchers at The University of Toledo and University of Missouri provides some of the first rigorous experimental evidence that goldfish—one of the world's most popular pets—can dramatically ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers spot shifts in firearm suicide risk and seeking treatment after 2020 purchasing surge
Individuals who died by firearm suicide following the 2020 firearm purchasing surge were more likely to be from racial minority groups, had higher rates of suicidal ideation and were less likely to have engaged in mental ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown human skin advances our understanding of the critical role of skin blood vessels
New research has shown that single blood vessel cells that appear in the earliest stages of lab-grown skin organoids have the ability to form complex microvascular networks that grow and mature over time. These self-organizing ...
Phys.org / More activity means less response in active materials
For some time, researchers have assumed that solid materials could gain more useful properties by making their microscopic components more active. Now, a team led by Jack Binysh at the University of Amsterdam has found that ...
Phys.org / Small differences in cell structures called microtubules determine how well cancer drug performs
A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has uncovered the mechanism underlying how cancer patients respond to a widely used cancer drug, ...
Phys.org / Will attendance‑based grading improve school absenteeism?
School absenteeism is a major concern across Canada—and beyond. As researchers with the Canadian School Attendance Partnership, we have been exploring this issue for a few years, motivated by concerns raised by families, ...
Phys.org / Most sunscreens harm corals. Here's what you can do
Every time you go for a swim, some of your sunscreen gets left behind. An estimated 25% of applied sunscreen washes off during recreational water activities, releasing some 5,000 tons annually in reef areas alone, according ...
Phys.org / Peatlands are vital for tackling climate change, yet scientists still haven't found them all
Push a metal corer into a peatland and you pull up something remarkable: a dark, dense, sponge-like material made of partly decomposed plants. This peat is rich in carbon. In some places, that peat has been building up for ...
Medical Xpress / Why newborn memory circuits start crowded, then slim down as brains mature
The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories into long-term ones, helping us retain and build upon our experiences. Researchers led by Magdalena ...
Medical Xpress / Not all Alzheimer's leads to dementia: The mystery of cognitive resilience
Some brains resist Alzheimer's, even when the disease is already present. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have found that this likely depends on how specific brain cells, known as immature neurons, ...
