Phys.org / Shark DNA could hold answers to how we age
Age isn't just a number for one of the ocean's top apex predators. It's a mystery University of Georgia researchers are solving. A new UGA study has determined how to estimate the age of sharks by analyzing changes to individual ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria may transform spinach, beets and plant iron into protective compounds
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that gut bacteria can convert dietary nitrate and iron into protective molecules that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The study, published ...
Phys.org / Alternative mRNA modification lets ribosomes move nearly twice as fast
In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines to fight infectious diseases, ...
Phys.org / Thinner lenses, brighter colors: Metalens research clears two hurdles for AR and VR glasses
AR and VR glasses once seen only in science fiction may soon be realized not as bulky stacks of lenses but as a single eyeglass-like optical element. That future is now closer to reality.
Phys.org / North Sea wind farm expansion may shift rain offshore, simulations suggest
Offshore wind farms are a key pillar of the energy transition. The European Union plans to expand offshore wind capacity in the North Sea by 2050. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon indicates that a very extensive ...
Phys.org / Gold nanoclusters could help break down Alzheimer's amyloid plaques
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and a decline in other mental functions. Past studies have consistently linked this disorder to the accumulation of the protein ...
Phys.org / Heat wave-hit Europe logs over 30,000 excess summer deaths: First figures
Europe saw at least 30,000 excess deaths across a blistering summer of back-to-back heat waves and drought that scientists have blamed on man-made climate change, according to provisional figures.
Phys.org / Blood-camouflaged nanoparticles defeat drug-resistant breast tumors in mouse model
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant subtypes of breast cancer, accounting for 15% to 20% of all cases. Unlike other breast cancers, TNBC lacks targetable receptors, leaving ...
Tech Xplore / Holographic laser printing makes 3D shapes—voids and all—in one shot
Researchers at the University of Utah's John and Marcia Price College of Engineering, in collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, have demonstrated a new method of 3D printing that avoids the ...
Phys.org / Patience predicts longer education paths and faster earnings growth, real-money experiment finds
Some teenagers are happy to wait for a bigger reward tomorrow rather than cash in today. Others would rather take the sure thing now—or gamble on a risky, high-payoff bet. According to a new study, these everyday differences ...
Phys.org / Rethinking how we name and classify our human ancestors following recent evolutionary discoveries
Recent advances in our understanding of human evolution challenge the way we currently name and classify our ancestors, according to new research from Monash University. The study, published in the American Journal of Biological ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover environmental cues behind black bear hibernation
New research from Virginia Tech scientists in the College of Natural Resources and Environment provides fresh insight into how environmental conditions influence black bear hibernation, with implications for wildlife management ...
