Phys.org / Fat-storing cell structures may block viral spread by recruiting antiviral proteins
La Trobe University scientists have uncovered the critical role fatty cell structures play in our body's early detection and defense against viruses. Published in Nature Communications, the discovery could open the door to ...
Phys.org / Reusable magnetic invention removes microplastics plus some PFAS from water
Microplastics are an increasing global concern, with growing evidence of their presence in water systems. RMIT University researchers have developed a water treatment material that rapidly removes micro- and nanoplastics ...
Phys.org / Two-color lasers aim electron currents through semiconductor with no electric field
Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a device that enables them to control the flow of electrons through a semiconductor using only laser light—no electrical power source required. The device was built to ...
Medical Xpress / Gut immune cells may help explain how B-cell depletion controls MS
B-cell depletion therapies, in which B cells of the immune system that may drive disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) are temporarily removed, have contributed significantly to improved treatment for patients in recent ...
Phys.org / Lithium ions sprint up to 10,000 times faster when their molecular cages briefly open
An international collaborative research group led by Professor Bong June Sung of the Department of Chemistry at Sogang University and Professor Shinji Saito of the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), National Institutes ...
Medical Xpress / The lone star tick is bringing another infection concern, the Bourbon virus
Tick-borne diseases are common throughout the United States, and most cases are treated effectively. A rarely diagnosed tick-borne infection, the Bourbon virus, transmitted by the common lone star tick, could soon begin to ...
Medical Xpress / How autistic brains process faces differently
Researchers have conducted one of the most comprehensive studies on how the autistic brain processes faces. Some hallmark characteristics of autism include tendencies to avoid looking at others' faces and to make less eye ...
Medical Xpress / PTSD therapy walks patients through past trauma
As anyone who has gone for a walk to ease a troubled mind knows, there's something about motion that helps process distressing memories. Now, University of Alberta researchers have solid evidence that an innovative psychotherapy ...
Tech Xplore / A computer in a liquid: Hundreds of oscillating particles compute complex patterns
Researchers at the Universities of Konstanz and Stuttgart have demonstrated a new approach to computation: a computer made from a few hundred microscopic particles oscillating in a liquid. Instead of processing information ...
Phys.org / Water-surface vortices drive tiny rotors without electricity, magnets or chemicals
Reliably generating controlled miniature rotations has long been a challenge: Chemical propulsion systems wear out, and methods that use electric or magnetic fields require complex setups. A team from KIT's Institute of Microstructure ...
Phys.org / Prize honors discovery of altermagnetism as a third fundamental class of magnetism
One of Europe's highest distinctions in condensed matter physics has been awarded for a discovery that is reshaping our understanding of magnetism: The 2026 Europhysics Prize of the European Physical Society (EPS) Condensed ...
Phys.org / Quantum Newton's cradle set to level up computing
Sending quantum information through a chain of qubits, like energy through a Newton's cradle, could be the key to faster operations and take quantum computing to the next level.
