Phys.org / Novel structural insights into Phytophthora effectors challenge long-held assumptions in plant pathology
How do evolutionarily conserved pathogen effectors maintain structural stability while engaging diverse host targets? In a new study published in Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions, researchers at the University of Pretoria's ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid perovskite device generates electricity from the sun and rain simultaneously
A team from the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville (US), has developed a new hybrid device that allows energy to ...
Medical Xpress / Meningococcal B vaccination does not reduce gonorrhea, trial results show
Contrary to existing evidence from observational studies, the meningococcal B vaccine (4CMenB) has no effect on preventing the acquisition of gonorrhea, according to the results of the world's largest randomized control trial ...
Phys.org / Americans reveal deepening split between self and country
American reports of individual well-being have remained relatively stable over decades, but confidence in the nation has sharply declined. James N. Druckman and colleagues analyzed long-term survey data from two projects: ...
Tech Xplore / Local water supply crucial to success of hydrogen initiative in Europe, study shows
Green hydrogen is considered to be an important part of the global climate transition, especially as a fuel and energy carrier for heavy transport and industry. However, large-scale green hydrogen production requires sustainable ...
Medical Xpress / Early healthy eating shapes lifelong brain health, new research finds
Eating unhealthy foods early in life leaves lasting brain and feeding changes, but gut bacteria can help restore healthy eating, a new University College Cork (UCC) research study finds. A high-fat, high-sugar diet during ...
Tech Xplore / AI model edits can leak sensitive data via update 'fingerprints'
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now widely used by millions of people worldwide, as tools to source information or tackle specific tasks more rapidly and efficiently. Today, some of the most used are large language ...
Medical Xpress / The brain's primitive 'fear center' is actually a sophisticated mediator, research reveals
A Dartmouth study challenges the conventional view that the amygdala—the two-sided structure deep in the brain involved in emotion, learning, and decision making—is simply the brain's primitive "fear center," reflexively ...
Phys.org / Too much transparency can hurt financial markets
These days, transparency is a financial buzzword. Opening the curtains on the operations of financial markets is supposed to help investors and regulators make better decisions. But sometimes transparency can backfire, according ...
Phys.org / Source or sink? Trees with heart rot disease emit more methane, upending forest carbon models
Throughout their lifetimes, healthy forests produce more oxygen than they use, while taking in greenhouse gases via plants and soils. This ecosystem-wide service, called carbon sequestration, regulates global climate and ...
Medical Xpress / Medicare Advantage and Medicare–Medicaid eligible patients less likely to use highly rated stroke rehabilitation
Stroke patients with Medicare Advantage health insurance plans are less likely to be discharged to highly rated post-acute care than those covered by traditional Medicare, according to a new study co-led by researchers at ...
Tech Xplore / Successfully commercializing novel solar cells: When records are not enough
It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at Empa and other institutions ...
