Medical Xpress / Being a night owl may increase your heart risk, research suggests
Middle-aged and older adults who were more active in the evenings had poorer cardiovascular health compared to their peers who were more active during the day. This may be especially true among women, according to new research ...
Phys.org / Gold 'supraballs' nearly double solar energy absorption in tests
Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, ...
Medical Xpress / An updated framework for understanding (and researching) what causes human cancers
An enduring challenge for the study of human cancer is just how complex it is: how many different ways there are for cancers to originate, progress, and spread in the people who are diagnosed with them. Biologist Douglas ...
Medical Xpress / Foundations for type 1 diabetes may already be laid during pregnancy
Researchers have identified a protein pattern that, already at birth, looks markedly different in those who later go on to develop type 1 diabetes. The findings show that a combination of several factors during pregnancy ...
Medical Xpress / Why is my migraine worse in summer?
For people with migraine, summer can be a double-edged sword. You may be able to relax more, sleep in, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time with family and friends.
Phys.org / 3D material mimics graphene's electron flow for green computing
University of Liverpool researchers have discovered a way to host some of the most significant properties of graphene in a three-dimensional (3D) material, potentially removing the hurdles for these properties to be used ...
Medical Xpress / Glowing bacterial sensors detect gut illness in mice before symptoms emerge
University of British Columbia researchers have engineered gut bacteria that dim their fluorescent glow in the presence of illness. Their findings could improve how we diagnose problems in the gut by using bacteria that already ...
Medical Xpress / Long COVID brain fog far more common in US than India and other nations, study finds
Patients with long COVID-19 in the U.S. report far higher rates of brain fog, depression and cognitive symptoms than patients in countries such as India and Nigeria, according to a large international study led by Northwestern ...
Phys.org / Massive star WOH G64 is still a red supergiant—for now
An international team of astronomers led by a researcher at Keele University has solved a long-standing cosmic mystery surrounding one of the most extreme stars ever observed. The star, known as WOH G64, is located in the ...
Phys.org / Empowering an AI foundation model to accelerate plant research
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new method that more than doubles computer processing speeds while using 75% less memory to analyze plant imaging data. The advance removes ...
Phys.org / 'Goldilocks size' rhodium clusters advance reusable heterogeneous catalysts for hydroformylation
Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large—exhibits the highest catalytic activity in hydroformylation reactions. Similar to the concept ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of American adults will be obese by 2035, study warns
Nearly half of American adults—some 126 million people—will be obese within 10 years, a new study projects.
