Phys.org / Geometry shapes life: Embryo curvature acts as instruction manual for coordinated cell division
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications. Scientists at ISTA ...
Medical Xpress / Touch-free health monitoring could breathe new life into health diagnostics
A new development in wireless sensing technology that can reliably screen for five common pulmonary diseases could lead to new forms of touch-free diagnostics.
Phys.org / Climate change accelerates tree deaths across Australian forests, study finds
Australia's forests are losing trees more rapidly as the climate warms, a new study examining decades of data said Tuesday, warning the trend was likely a "widespread phenomenon."
Medical Xpress / Vitamin C may help protect fertility from a harmful environmental chemical
A new discovery at the University of Missouri reveals that vitamin C may help protect reproductive health from a harmful environmental chemical. Using a fish model, researchers found that exposure to potassium perchlorate, ...
Phys.org / AI approach takes optical system design from months to milliseconds
A team of researchers at Penn State have devised a new, streamlined approach to designing metasurfaces, a class of engineered materials that can manipulate light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with just their ...
Phys.org / Worms as particle sweepers: How simple movement, not intelligence, drives environmental order
When observing small worms under a microscope, one might observe something very surprising: the worms appear to make a sweeping motion to clean their own environment. Physicists at the University of Amsterdam, Georgia Tech ...
Phys.org / ALMA devours cosmic 'hamburger,' reveals potential for giant planet formation
Have you ever found something unexpected in your hamburger? Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) were surprised to discover the very earliest phases of giant planet formation between the ...
Medical Xpress / Suppressing postoperative inflammation may prolong pain
Taking anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery is fairly standard protocol. But a new study from researchers at Michigan State University suggests this approach may be backfiring and that blocking inflammation during this critical ...
Phys.org / Economics has lost the narrative thread, says leading expert
Economics could do with less mathematics and more story, says Canada's most-cited economist.
Phys.org / Greenland is rich in natural resources. A geologist explains why
Greenland, the largest island on Earth, possesses some of the richest stores of natural resources anywhere in the world.
Medical Xpress / New AI model predicts disease risk while you sleep
A poor night's sleep portends a bleary-eyed next day, but it could also hint at diseases that will strike years down the road. A new artificial intelligence model developed by Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrathin polymer layer extends lifespan of anode-free lithium metal batteries
Anode-free lithium metal batteries, which have attracted attention as candidates for electric vehicles, drones, and next-generation high-performance batteries, offer much higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion ...
