Phys.org / Moon race: How China is challenging the US
Walking on the moon by 2030, building a lunar base, and then perhaps on to Mars: after 30 years of honing its expertise, China is challenging the United States' supremacy in spaceflight.
Medical Xpress / Ultra-high-resolution MRI powers the most complete brain structural atlas yet
An international team led by the ITACA Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has developed one of the most comprehensive and detailed structural atlases of the human brain to date. Known as HoliAtlas, ...
Phys.org / Even if it goes nowhere, an SEC investigation will cost you
Everybody acts differently while they are being watched, especially by those with authority. Whether it's your boss sitting in the next cubicle next door or a cop car driving behind you, observation leads to behavioral changes. ...
Tech Xplore / Strengthening wood with needle and thread
Wood laminates are used in many different ways, for example, in the manufacture of skis and snowboards or in components for vehicle interiors. However, their weight advantages for lightweight construction also have disadvantages. ...
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Simple tool developed to estimate the heating demand of entire neighborhoods
One of the research lines of the group of the EHU-University of the Basque Country is seeking solutions to generate districts or neighborhoods whose annual net energy consumption is close to zero. Using machine learning techniques, ...
Phys.org / Polymer uses movable molecular rings to overcome durability–degradability trade-off
Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade when they are no longer needed. Designing materials that satisfy both requirements has long been a ...
Medical Xpress / DOCK10 emerges as key trigger of dangerous insulin hypersecretion in rare pancreatic tumors
The dedicator of cytokinesis 10 (DOCK10) gene has been identified as a key driver of abnormal insulin secretion in insulinomas, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. Using surgical specimens and patient-derived ...
Medical Xpress / Kratom calls skyrocket to nation's poison centers
Calls to poison centers about kratom, a drug widely available in vape shops and gas stations, increased more than 1,200% between 2015 and 2025, with a corresponding rise in hospitalizations, an alarming new UVA Health analysis ...
Phys.org / Turning CO₂ into methanol: Multilayer machine learning speeds up search for better catalysts
Finding high-performing catalysts, which are used to accelerate processes from chemical manufacturing to energy production, can be a slow, expensive process, often relying on years of trial-and-error or massive computational ...
Medical Xpress / Practical recommendations to strengthen cancer microbiome research
An international team led by researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS), has published a paper in Nature Cancer ...
Tech Xplore / Bird‑like robots promise greater flexibility and control than drones
A bird banking in a crosswind doesn't rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment. Engineers at Rutgers University have taken a major step toward building bird-like drones that ...
