Phys.org / Electron buildup at 2D interface reveals how Janus semiconductors form at room temperature
Researchers at Tohoku University have uncovered the long-standing mystery behind the synthesis of Janus two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, paving the way for more precise manufacturing of materials used in future electronics ...
Phys.org / Drifting tuna gear creates risks for wildlife in protected marine areas
An international study co-authored by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher has found that drifting devices used by the global tuna fishing industry are entering marine protected areas around the world, creating potential ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cell–fibroblast crosstalk may be the key trigger of autoimmune diseases
In autoimmune disorders, immune cells targeting "self" proteins are mistakenly activated, resulting in abnormal expansion and responsiveness. These disorders are known to reduce patients' quality of life over a prolonged ...
Phys.org / Did gravitational tides cause Earth's extinctions?
Life on Earth took a long evolutionary journey that eventually created us, the purportedly intelligent species that dominates the planet. But there was no grand plan or design, only happenstance, nature and luck. Life on ...
Medical Xpress / New Alzheimer's drugs offer hope for some, but good dementia care protects the humanity of those they cannot help
Disease-modifying drugs for Alzheimer's offer a meaningful glimpse of hope for many people who fear dementia. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, but dementia itself is an umbrella term for symptoms ...
Medical Xpress / Bandage-like device delivers hydrogen sulfide to wounds, boosting blood flow where healing stalls
For most people, a blister or small cut is an inconvenience. For others, it can become something much more serious.
Phys.org / Nanoscale CoAl design delivers 6 GPa strength with 15% plastic strain at room temperature
Materials engineers have developed the ability to manipulate structure and matter at the nanoscale for solid-state alloys called intermetallics, making it possible to alter their properties for improved performance.
Phys.org / Scientists design 'tunable' biomolecules to probe how sugars behave
Sugars are not just a source of energy—they also play a crucial role in how cells communicate, how proteins interact and how materials behave in medicine and industry. But studying these processes is challenging because sugar ...
Phys.org / Space shuttle ready for new mission in California
The space shuttle Endeavour, which took astronauts into orbit 25 times, went on display at the California Science Center on its final mission Wednesday.
Phys.org / Third known interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS may be billions of years older than the solar system, study finds
An interstellar comet that blazed past the sun last year could be nearly three times older than our solar system and is unlike anything ever seen before in our cosmic backyard, astronomers said Monday.
Medical Xpress / What one sleepless night does to brain connections and why sleep may reset them
A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be important for restoring cellular balance in the brain, according to a study published in PLOS Biology ...
Phys.org / Plasma approach keeps catalysts working for longer in hydrogen production
Scientists from the University of Manchester have shown how a plasma-based approach, using nonthermal plasma—an electrically energized gas often described as the fourth state of matter—can prevent catalyst deactivation in ...
