Phys.org / Implantable 'living pharmacy' produces multiple drugs inside the body
A multi-institutional team of scientists, co-led by Northwestern University, has taken a crucial step toward implantable "living pharmacies"—tiny devices containing engineered cells that continuously produce medicines inside ...
Phys.org / Next-generation optical sensor can read photon spin across UV-to-infrared wavelengths
A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not only the intensity and ...
Phys.org / Ultra‑robust machine‑learning models run stable molecular simulations at extreme temperatures
Researchers at The University of Manchester have created a physics‑informed machine‑learning model that can run molecular simulations for unprecedented lengths of time, even at temperatures as high as 1,000 Kelvin. The study, ...
Phys.org / A global butterfly index could advance insect conservation worldwide
About 70% of the species on Earth are insects. They are fundamental components of most ecosystems: they comprise half of the biomass on the planet, pollinate flowers, decompose dead organic matter and play multiple roles ...
Medical Xpress / SEEG-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation found to be beneficial for pediatric epilepsy
For pediatric patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG-RFTC) is safe, with favorable outcomes for most patients, according to a study published ...
Medical Xpress / 3 million-cell map shows menopause reshapes breast tissue, possibly raising cancer risk
Scientists have created the most detailed map to date, comprised of over 3 million cells, showing how breast tissue changes as women age—including dramatic changes during menopause.
Medical Xpress / Adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy in childhood tied to risk for adult chronic rhinosinusitis
Prior tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in the setting of specific childhood conditions may be associated with increased rates of adult chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), according to a study published in The Laryngoscope.
Medical Xpress / Cause or effect? Study answers question about gene linked with colorectal cancer
A new study has answered a question that has puzzled cancer researchers for decades: Does a genetic defect found in nearly all human colorectal cancers simply accompany the disease, or does it trigger its development? A team ...
Phys.org / Cyclic catalysts use sunlight and air to regenerate during pharma ingredient synthesis
In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and cost. However, until now, there has been a trade-off between "precise but disposable catalysts" and ...
Phys.org / Tasmanian tiger lives on in Arnhem Land rock art
The striped dog-like marsupial we know as the Tasmanian tiger has long been surrounded by mystery, and the subject of scientific curiosity. Now, newly discovered rock art depicting Tasmanian tigers and Tasmanian devils in ...
Phys.org / Stabilized laser components could shrink quantum computers from room- to chip-scale
Scientists in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California Santa Barbara have demonstrated key laser and ion trap components necessary to help drastically shrink ...
Phys.org / North Sea wind farms may be reshaping sediment flows by 1.5 million tons a year
Offshore wind farms are an important pillar of the European Union's strategy for renewable energy—by 2050, the EU aims to increase capacity in the North Sea more than tenfold. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon shows ...
