Tech Xplore / Optimized concrete slabs cut material use without weakening floors
Researchers at TU Wien are working with technology partners to develop a digital manufacturing process for topology-optimized reinforced concrete slabs that significantly reduce material use and carbon footprints.
Phys.org / Rare mutations are helping dangerous hospital bacteria slip past the last-line antibiotic defense
Another last-resort antibiotic has fallen victim to the rapid evolution of drug-resistant superbugs. The powerful antibiotic combination ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), widely used to treat severe hospital-acquired infections ...
Science X / Deep below the Lost City, scientists uncovered superheated water that may fuel one of Earth's strangest ecosystems
Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, the Lost City hydrothermal field is known for eerie white chimney structures made of carbonate. Alkaline hot springs, loaded with hydrogen and methane, emerge from the seafloor there. Rather than ...
Phys.org / A fairer world without destroying the planet? It's possible
Imagine a future where everyone has enough, on a planet that stays livable. A new report makes the case that it's within reach.
Medical Xpress / Biological sex linked to protein changes in lung adenocarcinoma and other cancers
Biological sex factors into cancer in ways you might not expect. In lung cancer, a form called squamous cell carcinoma disproportionately affects male patients, while adenocarcinoma occurs more frequently in female patients. ...
Phys.org / A source of extremely high-energy particles in the Milky Way identified
Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than what human-made accelerators can produce. Considering human-made accelerators, such as the Large Hadron ...
Phys.org / Family courts must do more to hear children's voices, study says
Children involved in private family law proceedings in England can experience serious harm to their mental and physical health because their voices are too often ignored or dismissed, according to new research led by the ...
Phys.org / Listening in on toads reveals expansion secrets
Analysis of more than 3 million toad calls from locations across Australia gives rare insights into toad breeding behavior—and offers new hope for halting their advance. James Cook University ecology researchers discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia risk is higher if a spouse has it—but it's more than shared lifestyle
Partners do not simply grow old together; they often grow more alike. Decades of shared routines, environments and experiences leave couples with increasingly similar health profiles, a pattern long recognized for obesity, ...
Phys.org / Over 10,000 traps reveal only 1 pookila in southeast Queensland survey
It's 5 a.m. when we crawl out of our tents. The catbirds are calling and the night sky is fading to dawn as we prepare to head into the wilderness. We're surrounded by the towering eucalypts of southeast Queensland in search ...
Tech Xplore / Green hydrogen with PEC electrolyzers: New insights into transport processes
One method of storing solar energy is to use PEC electrolyzers to produce hydrogen. However, scaling up this technology remains challenging. Now, a team at the HZB Institute for Solar Fuels has used 2D fluorescence imaging ...
Phys.org / How the sun goes to 'sleep' could reveal future space weather when it wakes
Scientists have developed a new way to predict the strength of the sun's next activity cycle up to seven years before it reaches its peak.
