Medical Xpress / Australian bee glue delivers a scar-fighting compound that shuts down raised scars before they take hold
A natural compound made by Australian bees to seal their hives may help stop scarring in human skin after surgery, injury and burns, according to University of the Sunshine Coast researchers. The scientists say the laboratory ...
Phys.org / Can naked mole rats peacefully hand over power?
Naked mole rats keep kingdoms underground. One queen bears all the children, while others maintain complex subterranean tunnels, forage for food, take care of newborns, and perform other necessary upkeep. This society hinges ...
Tech Xplore / Microwave energy can transform tires into fuel and graphene faster
Research published in the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis has reviewed the potential for microwave assisted pyrolysis (MAP) to convert problematic waste materials such as tires, plastics and fiber, into fuels ...
Tech Xplore / CacheMind turns chip tuning into a conversation, exposing hidden cache failures and lifting processor performance
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new AI-assisted tool that helps computer architects boost processor performance by improving memory management. The tool, called CacheMind, is the first computer ...
Phys.org / Satellites reveal city methane emissions are rising faster than official estimates
Urban emissions of methane—a potent greenhouse gas—are rising faster than bottom-up accounting estimates anticipated, according to a study led by University of Michigan Engineering. The discrepancy was found with satellite ...
Phys.org / Mining waste product could help store carbon emissions, study suggests
A new Concordia-led study suggests that iron-rich slag, one of mining's biggest waste products, could help store carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The researchers examined whether slag, a waste material generated from metal ...
Dialog / Why do some stars in the galactic center survive while others are destroyed?
The center of our galaxy is an extreme place. Surrounding the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, stars are packed densely into a region where gravity, radiation, and dark matter all interact in complex ways. It is a ...
Medical Xpress / Parental depression timing may shape adult children's mental health for decades
A new Yale study shows how the timing of depression in mothers and fathers affects mental health in their adult children. This includes influences on depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.
Phys.org / Picky methane-consuming microorganisms prefer carbon monoxide, opening the door to more greenhouse gas release
Research by microbiologists Reinier Egas and Cornelia Welte of Radboud University shows that many methane-consuming microorganisms actually prefer carbon monoxide over methane. When carbon monoxide is present, they consume ...
Phys.org / Key gene enables tomato seed germination under high-temperature conditions
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have demonstrated that tomato mutants lacking the SlIAA9 gene, an auxin signaling repressor involved in the regulation of seed germination, not only retain high germination capacity under ...
Phys.org / Ocean eddies are amplifying climate extremes in coastal seas, study finds
New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in the ocean and amplifying ...
Phys.org / Kinship interlocks: How the rich stay rich
How do some wealthy families remain in the upper class for many generations, while other rich families do not? That is the question author Shay O'Brien (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) tackles in the sociological study ...
