Phys.org / How intertidal sediment stratification regulates coastal nutrient fluxes
A research team led by Prof. Xiao Kai from the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically elucidated the transformation and transport processes of nutrients in intertidal ...
Phys.org / Ultra-thin metasurface chip turns invisible infrared light into steerable visible beams
The invention of tiny devices capable of precisely controlling the direction and behavior of light is essential to the development of advanced technologies. Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY ...
Medical Xpress / Quantifying the role of reducing obesity in preventing common conditions
Researchers have quantified the role of obesity in common long-term conditions, showing for the first time the effect of losing weight in preventing multiple diseases.
Medical Xpress / Brain 'fingerprints' are less unique in major depressive disorder, study suggests
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating condition that affects more than 246 million people worldwide, yet scientists have struggled to identify consistent brain markers that could improve diagnosis and treatment. ...
Tech Xplore / Neptunium study yields plutonium insights for space exploration
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are breathing new life into the scientific understanding of neptunium, a unique, radioactive, metallic element—and a key precursor for production of ...
Medical Xpress / Battling the other 'Alzheimer's protein': What drives neurodegenerative tauopathies and how to treat them
In the quest to cure Alzheimer's, the protein known as beta-amyloid has long taken center stage, driving development of a long list of drugs aimed at breaking up amyloid plaques in the brain.
Medical Xpress / Forever chemicals may boost multiple sclerosis risk—is your water safe?
Could plastic byproducts and forever chemicals found in drinking water cause your body to attack your own nervous system? Research from Sweden links higher levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polychlorinated ...
Phys.org / Range-resident logistic model connects animal movement and population dynamics
Despite decades of independent progress in population ecology and movement ecology, researchers have lacked a theoretical bridge between these two disciplines. "Ecologists have been trying to establish this link since the ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors eliminated in mice without resistance developing
Current drugs for pancreatic cancer lose effectiveness within months because the tumor becomes resistant. Now, a group from Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has been able to avoid the development of resistance ...
Medical Xpress / 4D-printed vascular stent deploys at body temperature, eliminating external heating
Next-generation vascular stents can make cardiovascular therapies minimally invasive and vascular treatments safe and less burdensome. In a new advancement, researchers from Japan and China have successfully proposed a novel ...
Tech Xplore / Study identifies key elements that determine impact of AI on jobs
Research by academics at King's College London and the AI Objectives Institute has shed light on why what matters is not just how much of a job AI can do, but which parts. Dr. Bouke Klein Teeselink and Daniel Carey analyzed ...
Dialog / Infrared running of gravity offers a field-theoretic route to dark matter phenomena
The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new particles, I propose ...
