Medical Xpress / Potential therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease improves efficiency of learning and recall
Researchers have found evidence that a therapeutic strategy which makes the brain work more efficiently to learn and recall memories may in fact help to target compromised brain activity in Alzheimer's disease. The study ...
Tech Xplore / Overlooked turbulence is battering giant turbines in ways current controls still fail to catch
A new method provides a more realistic description of loads on large-scale wind turbines than was previously possible. A team of researchers has developed a more accurate mathematical model of wind fluctuations across the ...
Phys.org / Cracking a long-standing problem in high-entropy alloy nanoparticle synthesis
Composed of five or more elements in nearly equal amounts, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts due to their compositionally complex surfaces that can accelerate chemical reactions. Until now, scientists ...
Phys.org / Goose poop could fuel a circular agriculture strategy, research shows
The telltale V-formations of migrating Canada geese each spring are usually welcome harbingers of warmer weather. They are also a visible warning that your chances of stepping on something unpleasant in a local park, sports ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Why are women more likely to develop multiple sclerosis? A proteomics study provides clues
Knowing that women are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at three times the rate of men, particularly during their 30s and 40s, scientists in the CU Anschutz lab of Kimberley Bruce, Ph.D., recently took that window of ...
Phys.org / How poison frogs built a chemical weapons system one evolutionary step at a time
Poison frogs are small and brightly colored amphibians that originate from Central and South America. As suggested by their name, these frogs can release highly toxic chemicals from their skin, which deter and neutralize ...
Phys.org / Quantum gas resists heating under periodic kicks, revealing many-body localization mechanism
A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a striking quantum phenomenon: a periodically driven gas of ultracold atoms that simply refuses to heat ...
Phys.org / How tiny cave shrimps power the underworld of the Yucatan
Beneath the lush rainforests of the Yucatan Peninsula lies a hidden, subterranean world: a vast network of flooded sinkholes and anchialine caves. These unique underwater systems, which mix fresh and saltwater and are influenced ...
Phys.org / Cocaine pollution alters salmon behavior in the wild, study reveals
An international study, led by researchers from Griffith University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the Zoological Society of London and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, is the first to demonstrate ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists crack an 'undruggable' childhood cancer protein, opening a path to treatments for neuroblastoma
Researchers at Linköping University show how two important cancer-related proteins can be prevented from collaborating with each other. The discovery shows the way toward future medications to combat, for example, neuroblastoma ...
Phys.org / Two paths to scalable quantum computing: Optical links between fridges and higher-temperature qubits
Superconducting qubits—bits of quantum information—have been widely considered a promising technology for moving quantum computing forward. But there's still much work to be done before they can be brought out of a near absolute ...
Tech Xplore / 'No pumps, no batteries needed': Wearable semiconductor fabric monitors health through sweat
A research team led by Prof. Kim Bong-hoon from the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology has developed a semiconductor fiber-based wearable sweat sensor ...
