Phys.org / Bringing it all into focus—computational microscope captures 25.2 billion pixels per second across a wide field of view
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But improving one of these properties typically comes at the expense of another. Now, a UC Berkeley–led ...
Medical Xpress / 3D brain tissue model recreates key Alzheimer's interactions for drug testing
How can Alzheimer's research be made faster, better and more effective? After decades of intensive research worldwide and despite recent therapeutic advances, scientists have not managed to fully arrest the progress of the ...
Phys.org / Stomach stone hypothesis sheds light on the evolution of dinosaur digestive systems
An international research team led by Assistant Professor Ryuji Takasaki of the Faculty of Biosphere-Geosphere Science at Okayama University of Science has published a paper proposing a new hypothesis on the evolutionary ...
Tech Xplore / AI has been stepping out of bounds. Should you be worried?
The robots aren't revolting, but they're starting to freelance … or so it seems. Recent weeks have seen several high-profile instances of AI going off the leash in ways that have raised alarms among security experts and the ...
Phys.org / Space kit for future 'away missions' tested in Scotland
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the University of Aberdeen have carried out a series of field demonstrations in Portsoy to test cutting-edge handheld analytical instruments. Designed for use by astronauts ...
Phys.org / Electrocatalytic method could purify wastewater by converting pollutants into recoverable polymers
Wastewater treatment is a critical issue for global environmental protection and public health. Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently achieved a major breakthrough with ...
Phys.org / How evolution fine tunes molecular mechanisms to create and maintain membrane diversity between species
The cell membrane is a fundamental biological structure. These lipid layers surround and organize every cell, controlling everything from signaling to transport. But for membranes to function properly, their physicochemical ...
Phys.org / Pushing the boundaries of ultracold neutral plasmas
Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured ...
Medical Xpress / New research finds link between heart disease and cancer deaths, with men being at greatest risk
New research from Keele University and the University of Aberdeen has found that men with cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of cancer and death from cancer than women. The study found this pattern across all cancer ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable electric-field device slows aggressive breast cancer in preclinical study
A drug-free technology that uses low-intensity electric fields reduces tumor growth and spread in preclinical models of triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of the disease, according to new research ...
Phys.org / New microscopy method achieves angstrom-scale localization precision with one laser
Researchers in the lab of Sam Peng, the Pfizer Inc.–Gerald Laubach Career Development Assistant Professor of Chemistry at MIT and a core institute member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, have developed a super-resolution ...
Phys.org / Smart sensor identifies present molecules by remembering the past
Most sensors are designed to do only one thing: detect what passes through them. But what if a sensor could do more? To create a new generation of technology, researchers have looked to living systems for inspiration. If ...
