Tech Xplore / How better governance can ease pressure on the electricity grid
Demand-side flexibility, the ability to adjust electricity consumption in response to system needs, is often highlighted as a key tool for managing both growing electrification and a higher share of variable renewable energy, ...
Tech Xplore / EU clears Google's $32 bn bid for Wiz cybersecurity company
The EU on Tuesday unconditionally approved Google's $32 billion bid for cloud security platform Wiz after finding it raised no competition concerns in Europe.
Phys.org / School restrictive smartphone policies may save a small amount of money by reducing staff costs
School restrictive smartphone policies may save a small amount of money for schools, primarily by reducing the amount of time staff spend on managing phone-related behaviors, but they make little difference to pupils' quality ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea microbes get unexpected energy boost from marine snow, researchers discover
For many years, the deep ocean has been seen as a nutrient-poor environment where microbes living in the water survive on very limited resources. But new research from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) challenges that ...
Phys.org / Engineered enzymes enable greener one-pot amide synthesis for drug manufacturing
A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top 200 small-molecule drugs ...
Phys.org / 3D 'polar chiral bobbers' identified in ferroelectric thin films
A novel type of three-dimensional (3D) polar topological structure, termed the "polar chiral bobber," has been discovered in ferroelectric oxide thin films, demonstrating promising potential for high-density multistate non-volatile ...
Phys.org / The Arctic's first inhabitants shaped thousands of years of ecological development
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence for repeated prehistoric occupation in the remote island cluster of Kitsissut, north of Greenland, indicating the first people in the High Arctic were skilled seafarers who had a profound ...
Medical Xpress / Stimulating the central thalamus during anesthesia sheds light on neural basis of consciousness
The brains of mammals continuously combine signals originating from different regions to produce various sensations, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. This process, known as information integration, is what allows brain regions ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD prescriptions are up 10-fold, with the wealthiest kids most likely to be medicated
The number of young people in Australia prescribed medication for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increased more than tenfold in 20 years, our new research shows, while it is no longer most prevalent in poorer ...
Phys.org / DeepChopper model improves RNA sequencing research by mitigating chimera artifacts
Scientists in the laboratory of Rendong Yang, Ph.D., associate professor of Urology, have developed a new large language model that can interpret transcriptomic data in cancer cell lines more accurately than conventional ...
Phys.org / A quick stretch switches this polymer's capacity to transport heat
Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place one hand on a marble countertop ...
Medical Xpress / Overlooked group of gut bacteria appears key to good health, global study finds
In a huge global study led by University of Cambridge researchers, a single group of bacteria—named CAG-170—has repeatedly shown up in high numbers in the gut microbiomes of healthy people. CAG-170 is a group of gut bacteria ...
