Medical Xpress / Cuba battles chikungunya virus outbreak despite shortages of food, medicine
Cuba has been gripped by an outbreak of the viral disease chikungunya, as it battles shortages of clean water, food, fuel and medicine, during its worst economic crisis in decades.
Phys.org / Who wins and who loses as the US retires the penny
By now, Americans know the strange math of minting: Each penny costs about 4 cents to make. Chances are you have some in a jar, or scattered among pockets, purses and car ashtrays.
Phys.org / Pain research reveals new detail of how synapses strengthen
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies (CAPS) and their colleagues have made a fundamental discovery about a key mechanism that enables nervous system connections to strengthen.
Phys.org / Using theory and data to create new single atom catalysts for cleaner chlorine production
Chlorine is an essential industrial chemical used in products ranging from disinfectants to plastics. Yet producing chlorine requires the chlorine evolution reaction (CER), a process that consumes a significant amount of ...
Phys.org / Scientists map mitochondrial DNA and nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment landscape in Chinese population
Mitochondria generate most of the body's energy. Variations in their genetic material have long been linked to neurological disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cancers. However, most large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ...
Phys.org / Stars forge elements in new, uncharted ways: Experimental physicist discusses the 'i-process'
All around us are elements forged in stars, from the nickel and copper in coins to the gold and silver in jewelry. Scientists have a good understanding of how these elements form: In many cases, a nucleus heavier than iron ...
Medical Xpress / Veterans' anxiety and depression rose during, after the pandemic, study finds
Symptoms of anxiety and depression increased among post-9/11 veterans over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, with persistent disparities tied to race, ethnicity and gender, according to researchers at Penn State.
Phys.org / Study sheds new light on reaction dynamics of weakly bound nuclei
Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported new experimental results that advance our understanding of reaction dynamics and exotic nuclear structures of weakly ...
Medical Xpress / Psychedelic decriminalization hasn't increased ER visits, study finds
A study published in JAMA Network Open analyzed national hospital admission data from 2016 to 2023 to assess whether decriminalizing psychedelics—such as psilocybin ("magic mushrooms")—has led to more people needing emergency ...
Medical Xpress / Uncovering the hidden cellular connections that bridge aging and disease
A Yale research team has created a new imaging technique that reveals the hidden connections between aging, disease, and genetic activity in human cells.
Phys.org / New cable design mitigates flaws in superconducting wires
When current flows through a wire, it doesn't always have a perfect path. Tiny defects within the wire mean current must travel a more circuitous route, a problem for engineers and manufacturers seeking reliable equipment.
Phys.org / Transformer AI models outperform neural networks in stock market prediction, study shows
Like other sectors of society, artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how investors, traders and companies make decisions in financial markets. AI models have the ability to analyze massive amounts of data while ...
