Phys.org / Scientists observe water's behavior in a single molecular layer
New research has revealed that water behaves differently when confined to spaces just one molecule thick. For the first time, scientists have directly measured the vibrational signatures of truly two-dimensional water. In ...
Medical Xpress / Cyclospora parasite is running rampant in Michigan. Will it spread elsewhere?
If you're anywhere near Michigan, you might want to skip the cilantro—or at least wash it really well. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there's a parasite known as Cyclospora on the loose. ...
Phys.org / New approach boosts microplastic removal from wastewater
RMIT University researchers have tested a more effective way to capture microplastics from wastewater, using a combination of microbubbles and nanobubbles to achieve removal rates of more than 90%.
Medical Xpress / New platform combines precision gene targeting with brain-wide delivery
A new study describes a gene therapy strategy that uses the brain's own glymphatic transport system to distribute engineered viral vectors throughout the brain. The approach addresses two major challenges in neurological ...
Tech Xplore / Model reveals grid battery wear after 500 to 1,000 cycles in days
Energy storage is becoming critical to grid resilience and electricity affordability because battery systems can help balance supply and demand and stabilize power.
Medical Xpress / Foundation fights medical errors that claim 200,000 US lives a year
Medical error is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and one organization believes those deaths can be stopped.
Phys.org / Tiny carbon rings enable a new form of quantum control
Quantum states can be precisely controlled with the help of tiny carbon rings measuring only a few nanometers in size. This is made possible by a class of rarely used electromagnetic dipoles called toroidal moments. Using ...
Medical Xpress / Meningococcal B vaccine ineffective in gonorrhea prevention for men who have sex with men
The meningococcal B vaccine is ineffective in gonorrhea prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM) at high risk of infection, according to findings from the world's largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) into possible ...
Phys.org / Magnetic octupole model captures domain-wall motion in noncollinear antiferromagnets
Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first magnetic multipole-based micromagnetic model for antiferromagnets. Published in Applied Physics ...
Phys.org / Earth's deep memory is thawing with the Arctic permafrost, degrading records of our ancient world
Permafrost usually hits the news as a hazard, a planetary risk. When this ice-rich ground thaws, it damages roads and building foundations. It drains lakes and tips trees into drunken forests. It releases greenhouse gases ...
Phys.org / Satellite record reveals US tidal wetland productivity rose 6% in 20 years
Carbon sequestration, climate regulation, biodiversity support and shoreline protection: These are all benefits provided by tidal wetlands. As the climate changes, the amount of carbon captured by these vital ecosystems may ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover potential new treatment for Parkinson's disease, other neurodegenerative conditions
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common form of neurodegenerative disease and afflicts more than 10 million people worldwide. While current therapies address disease symptoms, they do not prevent the underlying ...
