Phys.org / Why do high-speed particles bounce higher in wet collisions?
Researchers have uncovered a counterintuitive phenomenon in collision dynamics: high-speed particles bounce back from wet walls much more strongly than expected. Integrating experimental observations with advanced numerical ...
Medical Xpress / Adversity across life linked to greater frailty and faster biological aging
Published in BMC Medicine, the study analyzed data from over 150,000 participants and found the strongest associations in people who experienced adversity in both childhood and adulthood. These individuals were more frail ...
Science X / How can a heart beat for centuries? A lesson from the Greenland shark
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is one of the longest living vertebrates on Earth, with an estimated lifespan of up to 400 years or more. Its extraordinary lifespan, extremely slow growth, very low metabolism, ...
Phys.org / Marigold flowers show potential as a source of plant-based protein
Our current fascination with high-protein foods means plant-based protein now shows up in many food products. But rather than growing plants just for their protein, researchers wondered if edible flowers—like pot marigolds ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds people wait an average of 50 days to see a neurologist for the first time
People with insurance through an employer or another commercial plan experienced an average wait time of 50 days for their first visit with a neurology provider, according to a study published in Neurology. Wait times were ...
Tech Xplore / A new R package facilitates the generation of flowcharts for research studies
Representing the pathway of participants in a study is a key element in clinical and epidemiological research. Flow diagrams are the standard tool to do so, as they allow the different stages of the process to be clearly ...
Medical Xpress / Calls to improve drowning prevention efforts for portable pools
A portable swimming pool can often be found in an Australian backyard, but new Griffith University research, conducted in partnership with UNSW Sydney, has discovered many parents and caregivers are unaware of safety requirements ...
Phys.org / Handle with care: Mobile microgrippers pick up cells in a pinch
In tissue engineering, the tiniest bit of improper force can harm a living culture. Spheroids—3D clumps of cells—can be used to model complex human tissues, because they can re-create specific cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix ...
Tech Xplore / No batteries, just body heat: Demonstrating the potential of battery-free sensing
As devices for wireless sensing systems become smaller and more complex, finding suitable power sources for them is becoming increasingly difficult. However, advances in low-power sensing technology may allow such systems ...
Science X / Your dreams are doing far more than replaying your day, and this study shows why
Why do dreams sometimes feel vivid and immersive, while at other times they seem fragmented or difficult to interpret? A new study conducted by researchers at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca provides new insights ...
Science X / 'Hybrid' immune cells can speed bone fracture healing by unlocking dual repair signals
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have created new "hybrid" immune cells with the potential to help new bone form after a break by simultaneously promoting blood vessel ...
Phys.org / Image: Fires rage in Georgia
Firefighters are battling two destructive blazes in the southern part of the state as drought grips the U.S. Southeast. An extreme drought that has gripped the Southeast for months helped fuel two large, destructive, human-caused ...
