Medical Xpress / Saline nasal spray alone resolves sleep-disordered breathing in nearly one-third of children, study finds
Investigators based at Monash Children's Hospital and Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne report that a once-daily intranasal saline spray resolved obstructive sleep-disordered breathing symptoms in nearly one-third of children ...
Phys.org / Watching a critical green-energy catalyst dissolve, atom by atom
Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is currently the most reliable catalyst used in the conversion of energy to chemicals by electrolysis, ...
Phys.org / When silicon fills the role of carbon: Debut of all-silicon cyclopentadienides
Carbon's unique chemical properties allow it to be an essential building block for life on Earth and many other molecules we rely on for day-to-day life—but what about carbon's neighbor? Silicon is located one row below ...
Medical Xpress / Relationship experts and couples say romance doesn't need grand gestures to thrive
Doing something romantic for Valentine's Day does not need to involve a heart-shaped box of chocolates, roses or an atypically expensive dinner, according to relationship experts.
Tech Xplore / Is artificial general intelligence already here? A new case that today's LLMs meet key tests
Will artificial intelligence ever be able to reason, learn, and solve problems at levels comparable to humans? Experts at the University of California San Diego believe the answer is yes—and that such artificial general ...
Phys.org / A new comet was just discovered. Will it be visible in broad daylight?
A newly discovered comet has astronomers excited, with the potential to be a spectacular sight in early April. C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was spotted by a team of four amateur astronomers with a remotely operated telescope in the Atacama ...
Medical Xpress / AI model reads brain MRIs in seconds, hitting up to 97.5% accuracy
An AI-powered model developed at the University of Michigan can read a brain MRI and diagnose a person in seconds, a study suggests. The model detected neurological conditions with up to 97.5% accuracy and predicted how urgently ...
Medical Xpress / A 3D-printed delivery system enhances vaccine delivery via microneedle array patch
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted an urgent need for efficient, durable, and widely accessible vaccines. This prompted several important innovations in vaccine technology, and researchers continue to explore new and creative ...
Tech Xplore / Interface engineering lifts perovskite solar cell performance to 26.19% efficiency
Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, have engineered a thin two-dimensional perovskite phase ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep disruption damages gut's self-repair ability via stress signals from brain: A biological chain reaction
Chronic sleep disruption doesn't just leave people tired and irritable. It may quietly undermine the gut's ability to repair itself, increasing vulnerability to serious digestive diseases. A new study from the University ...
Phys.org / Live-cell tracking reveals dynamic interaction between protein folding helpers and newly produced proteins
Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, amino acids, are assembled ...
Phys.org / Self-assembling 'bundlemers' could reshape next-generation protein-based materials
Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to perform specific jobs in nature. But these elegant structures form only under narrow pH and temperature ...
