Phys.org / Neutrality can speed up and stabilize collective decisions, new study shows
Trying to persuade people to abandon deeply held views often backfires, leaving groups entrenched and unable to move forward. A new study by researchers at the University of Bath in the UK proposes a strategy that is both ...
Phys.org / Kimchi-derived probiotic found to promote binding and excretion of intestinal nanoplastics
A lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi may help promote the removal of nanoplastics from the body by binding to them in the intestine. Nanoplastics are ultrafine plastic particles measuring less than 1 micrometer that ...
Medical Xpress / Fathers' risk for psychiatric disorders increases a year after child's birth, study finds
Fathers in Sweden are less likely to receive a psychiatric diagnosis during their partner's pregnancy and in the months following the birth of their child. However, diagnoses of depression and stress-related disorders increase ...
Phys.org / Decoding sugars one bond at a time—without labels
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy platform that can identify tiny structural differences in oligosaccharides without fluorescent labels. The method can distinguish ...
Medical Xpress / Online intervention helps cancer patients share genetic testing results with family
When a person with cancer finds out they carry an inherited genetic variant that puts them at higher risk of cancer, the results can help inform their treatment or steps to prevent additional cancer.
Medical Xpress / Key protein found to protect cartilage, offering new hope for osteoarthritis treatment
Osteoarthritis, a condition that causes pain and reduced mobility in joints such as the knees and fingers, is one of the most common joint disorders worldwide, particularly among aging populations. The disease is characterized ...
Tech Xplore / Insect-inspired robot tracks odors even with only one working 'antenna'
A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor sources both indoors and outdoors with consistent accuracy, even if one of its two sensors fails. The ...
Phys.org / Iron-substituted MoOₓ catalyst boosts oxygen evolution for alkaline water electrolysis
A Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) research team, led by Dr. Dahee Park at the Hydrogen Energy Materials Research Center, has successfully developed a high-performance catalyst that significantly enhances the oxygen ...
Phys.org / Vital freshwater fish migrations are collapsing, says UN report
Some of the longest, most important migrations of species on Earth are happening beneath the surface of the world's rivers and many are rapidly collapsing, according to a major new assessment by the Convention on the Conservation ...
Medical Xpress / Early life adversity can increase cardiovascular risks, research shows
Faced with a traumatic situation, a child's biology responds in the only way it can, shunting all resources toward survival. Unfortunately, that might also mean taking resources away from the processes that lead to healthy, ...
Tech Xplore / New detector chip compresses X-ray data 100- to 200-fold in real time
Every second, scientific experiments produce a flood of data—so much that transmitting and analyzing it can slow down even the most advanced research. To help scientists better manage this data deluge, researchers at the ...
Phys.org / A catalyst-free way to add boron to arenes
RIKEN chemists have demonstrated a method to synthesize organic compounds that contain the element boron. Organoboron compounds are used in a wide range of drugs, including those for treating cancer, fungal infections and ...
