Phys.org / Induced pluripotent stem cells: From dish to freezer and back
With a Kobe University-developed procedure, induced pluripotent stem cells can now be frozen directly in their dishes without losing their viability or undifferentiated state after thawing. This marks a significant step for ...
Phys.org / Embrace chaos to get lifelike movement from synthetic materials, researchers say
When people think of high-powered machines, they'd likely think of muscle cars before their own muscles. But muscles and other living tissues can do energetic things very quickly—they twitch, snap and beat—which is how ...
Phys.org / Understanding climate change in America: Skepticism, dogmatism and personal experience
Scientists are trained to be professional skeptics: to always judge the validity of a claim or finding on the basis of objective, empirical evidence. They are not cynics; they just ask themselves and each other a lot of questions.
Phys.org / From cages to fields: Lab mice lose their anxiety after a week outdoors
When postdoctoral researcher Matthew Zipple releases lab mice into a large, enclosed field just off Cornell's campus, something remarkable happens.
Tech Xplore / Harry Potter-style 'moving invisibility cloak' technology developed
What do Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and stealth fighter jets that evade radar have in common? They both make objects invisible despite their physical presence. Building upon this concept, a research team has taken it ...
Medical Xpress / HHS cuts funding for American Academy of Pediatrics' programs
The U.S. government has ended several health grants to one of the nation's largest pediatricians' groups, a move the organization says could hurt children and families across the country.
Phys.org / Using bent light to map complex planetary architectures
With new technologies comes new discoveries. Or so Spider Man's Uncle Ben might have said if he was an astronomer. Or a scientist more generally—but in astronomy that saying is more true than many other disciplines, as ...
Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
Phys.org / Hidden bias gives 'swing state' voters more influence over US trade policy
Americans living in political "swing states" have a significantly louder voice in national trade policy—effectively making their votes worth more than others—according to a new study published in the Journal of International ...
Medical Xpress / Most Americans still get nicotine wrong
Nicotine is the drug that keeps people coming back to cigarettes, but not the substance that causes serious health effects in people who use tobacco. It is the tar and toxic chemical mix in tobacco and tobacco smoke that ...
Phys.org / Your body is full of medicine. Researchers can now synthesize it
Northeastern University researchers have made a breakthrough drug discovery, developing the first synthetic endogenous cannabinoid compound, with repercussions for new therapeutics from pain and inflammation to cancer.
Medical Xpress / Scientists map structure of antibodies driving rare autoimmune brain disease
MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. The blood of patients contains antibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a protein in the myelin layer ...
