Medical Xpress / Can you slow the aging process? Study reveals which interventions might help
When Raghav Sehgal arrived at Yale as a graduate student several years ago, he wanted to explore the use of powerful computer science tools in cancer research. With an engineering background and a computational biology startup ...
Phys.org / Meteorite dust holds records of magnetism that may have helped form the sun
Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was little more than a giant ball of gas and dust. Over the next few million years, this "solar nebula" underwent a huge transformation, flattening into a disk of matter that ...
Phys.org / Supersized quantum sensors make faint photons easier to catch
Our everyday life is flooded with photons, the quantum building blocks of light. For cutting-edge technology, from quantum computing to deep-tissue imaging, detecting every single photon counts.
Phys.org / Nepal floods highlight growing glacier risks in warming Himalayas
The deadly flash flood in Nepal on Wednesday was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river, according to preliminary investigations by scientists. That may have led to the backed-up ...
Phys.org / Near-total lunar eclipse is coming up with the Americas in prime position
Now it's the moon's turn to pull a disappearing act. After being shut out of this month's total solar eclipse, the Americas will have the best seats in the celestial house when Earth's shadow briefly envelops the moon. Almost ...
Phys.org / How a glacier collapse may have caused Nepal-Tibet disaster
A huge piece of ice that fell thousands of meters from a glacier into a river below may have unleashed the disaster in Nepal and Tibet that killed at least 180 people.
Medical Xpress / Inspired by soap bubbles, scientists reproduce alveolar movement in artificial lung model
Almost everyone has blown a soap bubble through a straw at least once. Inspired by this thin soap bubble film, an artificial lung that breathes like a real lung has been developed. A research team led by Professor Sungjune ...
Phys.org / Microcline reveals how a common mineral surface triggers ice formation in clouds
Pure water freezes only at around -38°C (-36°F). Tiny mineral dust particles act as so-called ice nucleators—crystallization seeds on which ice crystals form. A research team at Bielefeld University and the University of ...
Phys.org / Lunar soil reads as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars
When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has discovered ...
Phys.org / Could 12 inches of rain hit New York City? AI maps plausible rare storms
Can a city's seawall stand up to a blockbuster storm? Will a region's power grid hold against record-breaking heat? And can a town's firefighting resources contain a major wildfire?
Tech Xplore / How the war in Iran could serve as a 'turning point' for transition away from fossil fuels: Q&A
The war in Iran has strangled one of the world's most important oil-producing regions and trade routes, and gas prices have soared. UC Santa Barbara's Paasha Mahdavi, associate professor of political science and affiliated ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds gaps in home rehab after joint replacement
Every year, hundreds of thousands of older Americans recover from hip and knee replacement surgery at home. For many, that recovery depends on timely access to physical or occupational therapy after leaving the hospital.
