Phys.org / Porous material uses green and blue light to repeatedly store and release CO₂
Scientists at the University of Groningen, led by Nobel laureate Ben Feringa and colleagues, have created a new porous material that captures and releases carbon dioxide using only visible light. The breakthrough could pave ...
Phys.org / JWST spots most distant jellyfish galaxy to date
Astrophysicists from the University of Waterloo have observed a new jellyfish galaxy, the most distant one of its kind ever captured. Jellyfish galaxies are named for the long, tentacle-like streams that trail behind them. ...
Medical Xpress / Natural compound derived from ashwagandha plant could benefit lymphoma patients
A new UNC study finds that a chemical derived from ashwagandha disrupts viral and cancer processes that make B-cell lymphomas difficult to treat with standard chemotherapy. Cancer has many causes, including inherited genes, ...
Phys.org / Accounting move promotes equal pay for equal work
During the 60 years since pay discrimination became illegal in the United States, gender pay equity has remained stubbornly elusive. The gap between women and men increased in 2024, with women earning 80.9 cents for every ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping protein production in brain cells yields new insights for brain disease
The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, known as translation, ...
Medical Xpress / Brainwaves of mothers and children synchronize when playing together—even in an acquired language
Interbrain synchrony is the simultaneous activity of neural networks across the brains of people who are socially interacting—for example, talking, learning, singing, or working together. Having brains that are thus synchronized ...
Medical Xpress / Telehealth genetic services increase uptake of counseling in childhood cancer survivors
For childhood cancer survivors, remote telehealth genetic services improve genetic counseling and testing uptake, according to a study published online Feb. 13 in The Lancet Regional Health—Americas.
Phys.org / New amplifier design promises less noise, more gain for quantum computers
The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), RIKEN researchers have ...
Medical Xpress / Periods may trigger pain for many who have sickle cell disease
Pain related to sickle cell disease (SCD) increases during menstruation, as do emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations, for many women and girls—according to a new, nationwide study led by researchers at UC ...
Medical Xpress / Eyes may be a window into early Alzheimer's detection
The eyes—specifically, the outer area of the retina—may provide a window into early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) long before irreversible brain damage has occurred, according to new research from Houston Methodist. ...
Medical Xpress / What a zinc gradient in dentin could mean for fillings and tooth health
Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to be both strong and sensitive. Besides calcium and phosphate, teeth contain trace elements such ...
Phys.org / Horses with over 30 minutes of REM sleep show better persistence in learning tasks
Just as for humans, sufficient sleep supports learning and coping for horses. A recent study at the University of Helsinki indicates that short periods of REM sleep impair horses' perseverance and performance in demanding ...
