Phys.org / Shrinking shellfish? Study uncovers acidic water risks in Indian River lagoon
Florida's Indian River Lagoon (IRL), one of the state's most ecologically productive estuaries, is facing a growing but invisible threat that could reshape its marine ecosystems. Over the past decade, the lagoon has suffered ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected partial recovery of natural vision observed after intracortical microstimulation in a blind patient
A patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve damage partially recovered natural vision after participating in a clinical trial of electrical stimulation of the visual cortex conducted by researchers ...
Medical Xpress / New solution for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea
In less than 90 minutes, a new, less invasive electrical stimulation technique has been found to improve breathing in people with sleep apnea. The technique, which involves percutaneous hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS), ...
Phys.org / Cells adapt to aging by actively remodeling endoplasmic reticulum, study reveals
Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of life, but it is associated ...
Phys.org / From sea to soil: Molecular changes suggest how algae evolved into plants
Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, little light reaches the ...
Tech Xplore / Novel approach to a key biofuel production step captures an elusive energy source
Plants grown for biofuel have the potential to power our travel industry, but an important fraction of their chemical power has remained stubbornly difficult to recover. New research from the Center for Advanced Biofuel and ...
Phys.org / Chromosome-level genome unlocks evolution of endangered fern Brainea insignis
Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid complexity, diverge significantly from the classical genetic theories and analytical frameworks largely ...
Phys.org / Experts reveal how a major food crisis might happen in the UK, and what we can do to stop it
A new report has set out how the U.K. might respond to major disruptions to food supplies triggered by events such as war, extreme weather, or cyberattacks, and what can be done now to prevent such disruptions from escalating ...
Medical Xpress / Bamboo: Superfood or superfad? Here's what our study actually said
According to the New York Post, our research team has discovered a much-overlooked "superfood": bamboo shoots. Before you rush out to harvest the ornamental bamboo growing in your garden, there are a few things you should ...
Tech Xplore / New AI system fixes 3D printing defects in real time
Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste. However, with the majority of 3D printers operating on open-loop systems, they are notoriously prone ...
Phys.org / How species competition shapes trait diversity worldwide
Every ecosystem is shaped by billions of invisible battles: organisms competing for light, nutrients, space, or mates. These competitive interactions determine which species survive, how they evolve, and how vibrant and resilient ...
Phys.org / Infrared-activated hydrogel uses lysozyme 'nets' to combat resistant bacteria
Each year, bacterial infections are responsible for roughly 7.7 million deaths worldwide, with this problem further exacerbated by rising antibiotic resistance. Not only are wound infections increasingly difficult to treat, ...
