Phys.org / A centuries-old debate on how reptiles keep evolving skin bones is finally settled
Our bones did not begin deep inside the body. They started in the skin, not long after the first complex animals took shape.
Phys.org / Tuning spin waves—using commercially available devices at room temperature
Physicist Davide Bossini from the University of Konstanz has recently demonstrated how to change the frequency of the collective magnetic oscillations of a material by up to 40%—using commercially available devices at room ...
Phys.org / Quantum simulator reveals how vibrations steer energy flow in molecules
Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and track how energy moves within it. The work, published Dec. 5 in Nature Communications, could improve ...
Phys.org / Long-term pesticide exposure accelerates aging and shortens lifespan in fish
Long-term exposure to low levels of a common agricultural pesticide can accelerate physiological aging and shorten lifespan in fish—a finding from new research led by University of Notre Dame biologist Jason Rohr with potentially ...
Medical Xpress / Novel liquid biopsy technology lowers barriers for more efficient cancer diagnostics
A novel liquid biopsy technology is set to advance cancer diagnostics and monitoring by overcoming the long-standing challenge of simultaneously achieving high sensitivity, broad coverage, and simple workflow. A team of researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Vascularized retinal organoids engineered with functional light-signal pathways
Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to cell death.
Phys.org / Molecule deposition on 2D materials promotes defect healing and quality restoration
Researchers from the Institute of Physics in Zagreb have shown that depositing a thin layer of organic molecules on two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors can improve their optical properties and even repair defects. Their work, ...
Medical Xpress / A sweat-based sensor may help improve sleep quality
University of Texas at Dallas researchers, in partnership with Texas-based biotech company EnLiSense, have demonstrated a pioneering wearable perspiration-based sensor that measures two key hormones that regulate the body's ...
Medical Xpress / Infant gut bacteria may be the key to preventing asthma and allergies
Allergies and asthma affect an increasing number of children worldwide, but now an international research group led by DTU has identified a previously unknown mechanism that can reduce the risk of allergies and asthma later ...
Medical Xpress / Autonomous AI agents developed to detect early signs of cognitive decline
A team of Mass General Brigham researchers has developed one of the first fully autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of screening for cognitive impairment using routine clinical documentation.
Tech Xplore / YouTube relaxes monetization policy on videos with controversial content
YouTube is updating its guidelines for videos containing content that advertisers define as controversial, allowing more creators to earn full ad revenue when they tackle sensitive issues in a nongraphic way.
Phys.org / Scientists demonstrate low-cost, high-quality lenses for super-resolution microscopy
Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less than $1 to produce. The ...
