Tech Xplore / New software may nearly double pooled SSD performance in data centers
To improve data center efficiency, multiple storage devices are often pooled together over a network so many applications can share them. But even with pooling, significant device capacity remains underutilized due to performance ...
Medical Xpress / Treating tumors independently of oxygen: Photodynamic therapy uses hydrogen peroxide instead
Photodynamic treatment of cancer is based on administering an initially inactive substance that is only activated in the tumor via targeted light irradiation. It then generates reactive oxygen species that kill the cancer ...
Phys.org / Oyster reefs stack up for shoreline protection
Oyster reef living shorelines have been found to provide a resilient and adaptive alternative to conventional hard coastal protection, reducing wave energy while supporting oyster colonization.
Phys.org / Molecular 'leash' measures force-sensing protein activation at about 15 piconewtons
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have built a molecular "leash" to pull directly on a force-sensing protein called Piezo1, and discovered it switches on at about 15 piconewtons, proving that it can ...
Phys.org / New insights into hornification could strengthen the future of paper production
When paper dries and is subsequently rewetted, its properties change permanently. This phenomenon is known as hornification. New research now shows that the process is more complex than previously assumed, and that temperature, ...
