Medical Xpress / Women with kidney disease are undertested, undertreated and left behind by decades of male-dominated research
Women with chronic kidney disease are less likely than men to be diagnosed, represented in research and given treatments that have been properly tested in them. That is the central finding of a new paper published today in ...
Medical Xpress / Fatherhood linked to lower midlife mortality in Black men
Fatherhood in Black men is associated with lower rates of all-cause mortality by middle age compared to nonfathers, according to the U.S.-based longitudinal study that enrolled Black and white individuals aged 18–30 years ...
Tech Xplore / Supercharging the grid: How to free up 20% more power
Implementing effective monitoring measures could yield much more energy from the cable network—all without digging a single new trench. Just a dream scenario? No, it is entirely possible, say researchers.
Phys.org / Terahertz imaging maps spatial chirality in materials with 100-micrometer resolution
In nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known as chiral objects, derived from the Greek word for "hand," since left and right hands share the ...
Phys.org / DigMethpy: An AI-driven platform for accelerating methane pyrolysis catalyst discovery
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-powered platform that could significantly speed up the discovery of catalysts for methane pyrolysis, a promising technology for producing hydrogen with lower carbon ...
Phys.org / Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past
Using more than a decade of observations from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), researchers measured the motions of millions of stars across the Small Magellanic Cloud with unprecedented precision. The new ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Why scientists are studying a microbe they found in a sink
Scientists commonly use bacteria as tiny factories that can produce molecules for uses ranging from drug development to pollution remediation. Recently, NC State biologist Carlos Goller and former undergraduate students Pushkar ...
Phys.org / Strain creates moiré 2D materials without twisting or stacking, opening more scalable route
Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors—without relying on the traditionally used difficult-to-control twisting and stacking ...
Medical Xpress / A single clonal starting point may explain how multiple cervical cancer subtypes arise
How do different cancer subtypes arise? Do they originate from distinct cells, or from a single multipotent cell capable of differentiating into multiple cell types? This question, debated for decades in cancer biology, is ...
Phys.org / Pulsar wind nebula inside supernova remnant explored with Chandra
Astronomers from the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, and elsewhere have employed NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft to observe a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant known as CTA 1. Results of ...
Medical Xpress / Physician experts call for systems-based approach to prostate cancer screening decisions
Prostate cancer screening is one of the most common decisions men face in primary care, yet many patients make that choice without fully understanding the potential benefits and harms. A new editorial by UNC physician experts ...
Phys.org / Coastal communities at risk of effects of repeating cycles of inequality in marine energy transition
Although the clean energy transition offers major opportunities, a new report from University of Aberdeen researchers warns that current governance arrangements may leave coastal communities bearing the cost of energy transition ...
