Medical Xpress / Randomized controlled trials could be harming nonprofits, experts argue
In the 1940s, medical researchers began using randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy of health interventions. In RCTs, researchers create randomly assigned treatment and control groups, administering the potential ...
Tech Xplore / No more burning and exploding batteries? Study addresses low-temperature performance and fire risks
A research team led by Principal Researcher Kim Jaehyun from the Division of Energy and Environmental Research at DGIST has developed a solid electrolyte technology for lithium metal batteries that operates stably even at ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of brain-body connection offers clues for Parkinson's and alcohol use disorder
When danger lurks, instinct keeps us safe. It compels us to run from a burning building or wrestle a knife-wielding attacker to the ground. It also adjusts our body physiology to support these behaviors.
Tech Xplore / Buried oxygen reactions help explain why solid-state batteries fade so quickly
Although solid-state batteries (SSBs) demonstrate high performance and are intrinsically safe, their capacity currently declines rapidly. A team from TU Wien, Humboldt-University Berlin and HZB has now analyzed a TiS₂|Li₃YCl₆ ...
Phys.org / The moon's largest impact crater scattered something priceless—and Artemis may be heading straight into it
A new study, published in Science Advances, has refined some important details about the moon's largest and oldest impact crater, which stretches more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) on the far side of the moon. The new details ...
Medical Xpress / Human islet map links cell mix to insulin output and diabetes risk
Diabetes is the most common and serious chronic disease worldwide, characterized by insufficient insulin to maintain proper blood glucose levels. It affects more than 12% of Americans and is the eighth leading cause of death ...
Phys.org / Conserving 30% of the planet will only succeed if people are part of the plan
What do you see when you imagine a conservation area? Perhaps a remote rainforest, a towering mountain range or a coral reef teeming with life. But do you expect to see any people?
Phys.org / Fresh brew, harsh bite: Coffee's bitter edge finally comes into full molecular view
Have you ever wondered why freshly brewed coffee smells so delicious, but tastes bitter? New research from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine has revealed the molecular details responsible for the detection ...
Phys.org / Major survey of London tap water shows 'forever chemicals' within safe limits
A large study of London's tap water has revealed that trace amounts of PFAS "forever chemicals" are present, but their levels are within U.K. and EU safety limits. The analysis, led by researchers at Imperial College London ...
Science X / Strawberries crossed oceans—and walked straight into an ambush already waiting underground
Plant diseases often arise when the pathogens that cause disease are introduced into new territories where native plants don't recognize the pathogen and therefore may have minimal defenses against it. But there's another ...
Phys.org / The G-value paradox: Why similar genes can lead to very different brains
Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in nervous system complexity. New research points to a potential link between the expanding diversity ...
Medical Xpress / Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome: A new name to improve diagnosis, care of condition affecting 170 million women
A global effort led by Monash University has changed the name of a significant women's health condition that was misunderstood to be "all about ovarian cysts." Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is the new name ...
