Phys.org / Rare inner ear cells point to regenerative hearing treatments
A study by a team of researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University offers new hope to millions of people with irreversible hearing loss. The researchers identified a unique biological ...
Tech Xplore / New smart bicycle can tell when riders mean to turn—and when they may be falling
Two-wheeled vehicles with conventional stability-control systems must lean to change direction, making it difficult for rider-assistance systems to determine whether a rider is intentionally cornering or experiencing instability ...
Medical Xpress / Improving growth outcomes for children living with dwarfism
New findings from a trial conducted at Children's Hospital Colorado (Children's Colorado) and University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz School of Medicine demonstrate significantly increased growth rates in children with achondroplasia, ...
Phys.org / The invasive fern that science misidentified for decades
Salvinia molesta can double its biomass in 36 hours. It spreads across ponds, lakes and slow-moving waterways in a smothering green mat, blocking sunlight, consuming oxygen and collapsing the ecosystems beneath it. Now present ...
Tech Xplore / LiDAR approach could change factory inspections for tiny hard-to-reach parts
Researchers have developed a new LiDAR approach that makes it possible to image small objects with much greater precision and accuracy than conventional LiDAR. The method could be useful for acquiring noncontact measurements ...
Medical Xpress / As a major heat wave grips the eastern US, here's how to stay safe, and the heat stroke warning signs to watch for
Millions of Americans are facing heat advisories ahead of the July Fourth holiday as a major heat wave spreads across large parts of the central and eastern United States.
Phys.org / How boundary geometry helps embryonic cells organize themselves
One of the most striking biological transitions in nature happens early in development, when an embryo transforms from a simple ball of cells into a highly ordered structure with distinct tissue layers that later develop ...
Phys.org / 3D genome analysis of germ cell formation tracks 350 million years of vertebrate evolution
A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during male germ cell formation in vertebrates, leading to important new insights into how biodiversity is ...
Phys.org / Prickly starfish and urchins are decimating Australia's reefs. But we could find ways to protect them
Australia is home to some of the world's most beautiful reefs. This includes the lush Great Southern Reef, which wraps around Australia's southern coastline, and the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef.
Tech Xplore / Ammonia from wastewater: How we're turning a pollutant into fertilizer and clean fuel
Ammonia rarely makes headlines, but much of modern life depends on it. The compound of nitrogen and hydrogen is the key ingredient in the fertilizers that help feed roughly half of the world's population. It is also attracting ...
Phys.org / The universe should look the same in all directions at large scales, but DESI data suggest otherwise
Earlier this year, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed observations that mapped 47 million galaxies across 11 billion light-years, allowing astronomers to better evaluate the large-scale structure of ...
Medical Xpress / Malaria vaccine quest narrows as shared parasite targets emerge in liver
Scientists have identified targets on the malaria-causing parasite that could be key to developing a universal vaccine against one of humankind's oldest and deadliest diseases. Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University ...
