Phys.org / A silicon-compatible path toward scalable quantum systems
Beginning in the 1950s, silicon transformed the electronics industry by enabling smaller and faster devices that could be reliably manufactured at scale. More than six decades later, silicon-based semiconductors remain at ...
Medical Xpress / Overloaded RNA 'editing room' reveals weakness in RAS-driven cancers
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have identified an overworked cog in the cellular machinery of tumor cells that could be targeted by new treatment options for an aggressive ...
Medical Xpress / Why fasting can lead to a longer lifespan
Restricting calories has long been recognized as a powerful way to live longer, with periods of intermittent fasting proving more effective than a steady diet. However, the mechanism behind this phenomenon has been unclear. ...
Tech Xplore / Green technology in the game industry: Scientists find way to charge your game console while playing
Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have designed a portable game console powered by solar panels and a cranking device. They embedded the crank into the gameplay experience, allowing users to—for example—fire ...
Medical Xpress / How do cancer cells 'learn' to resist treatment?
Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an approach that may lead to new therapies. Published online April 15 as the cover story of the journal ...
Medical Xpress / Ultraprocessed food linked to thigh muscle fat in those at risk for knee OA
For individuals at risk for knee osteoarthritis, high ultraprocessed food (UPF) consumption is associated with higher muscle fat content, according to a study published online April 14 in Radiology.
Phys.org / Machine learning accelerates analysis of fusion materials
Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion reactors, but the ultra-high heat can damage its microscopic structure and lead to component ...
Phys.org / Space telescopes track nearby quasar's dramatic X-ray state transition
By analyzing the data from various space observatories, Chinese astronomers have inspected a nearby quasar designated SDSS J000532.84+200717.4. Results of the new study, published April 1 on the arXiv preprint server, shed ...
Medical Xpress / Autism diagnoses are up, largely fueled by the National Disability Insurance Scheme
Research published earlier this year found the strongest evidence yet that the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has played a key role driving up autism diagnoses in Australia.
Medical Xpress / For women with primary progressive MS, could bestselling drug be doing more harm than good?
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing a petition to revoke the approval of Roche's top-selling drug ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) for treating primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS)—a form of MS thought to ...
Phys.org / AI-guided electron microscope provides unique glimpse into the world of MXenes
The use of artificial intelligence has enabled researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to gain a greater understanding of two-dimensional (2D) materials that can be useful for energy storage, water purification, ...
Medical Xpress / Multiple myeloma cells adapt after immunotherapy, helping explain why many patients relapse
Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer in adults. It starts in the white blood cells that are responsible for creating antibodies that help the body fight infections. Once the myeloma cells begin to multiply, ...
