Medical Xpress / New brush test detects oral cancer in one hour
A paper published in the journal Biomarker Research by a cross-university team led by Queen Mary University of London researchers validates the use of a noninvasive brush biopsy test that can detect oral cancer within one ...
Phys.org / New beetle genus named after One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy, encompassing two new species
A research team from the Natural History Museum of Denmark has published a compelling new study in insect taxonomy in the open-access journal ZooKeys, officially establishing a new genus of rove beetle: Luffy gen. nov. The ...
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 / Virtual tutoring: What started as a pandemic phenomenon has evolved from a temporary fix to an educational fixture
When Amanda Neitzel first evaluated a live virtual reading-tutoring program called AirReading two years ago, she found what most educators would have predicted: modest results. One semester of live video tutoring nudged struggling ...
Medical Xpress / Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for ...
Tech Xplore / Cheaper catalyst turns captured carbon dioxide, methanol and hydrogen into ethanol
An international team of researchers has developed a homogeneous catalytic process that converts methanol, carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethanol using inexpensive and stable catalyst precursors.
Phys.org / Childhood trauma may erode adult relationships through daily communication struggles
Traumatic events from your childhood could have a lingering impact on your adult relationships, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
Phys.org / Atomic 'domino effect' found to drive phase changes in a two-dimensional crystal
Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically different properties—are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding the microscopic mechanisms of these transformations ...
Phys.org / Assessing lab animals with AI
Rutgers Office for Research (OfR) leaders collaborated with researchers around the world to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) program that has the potential to revolutionize lab research.
Phys.org / Study underscores barriers for male survivor support
Male survivors of intimate partner violence are less likely to seek help than female survivors, according to new research from Michigan State University's School of Social Work. As a result, these cases of intimate partner ...
Phys.org / Is the state of nature fair? Researchers measure how biomass is distributed in microbial communities
The distribution of income and growing inequality are central themes in public debate. Far less attention has been paid to how resources are distributed in ecological communities, in the so-called state of nature, without ...
Phys.org / Rats show empathy, according to model
A rat first frees a cagemate rat and then shares food with it. Is this animal just as empathetic as humans? In an American study from 2011, researchers observed that rats first freed their fellow rats from a cage and then ...
