Phys.org / Nanoparticles sneak antibodies into cells to inhibit cancer and inflammation
A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat by smuggling therapeutic antibodies, new research has found.
Tech Xplore / Next-generation battery potential unlocked with a novel electrolyte design
A research team has successfully designed a novel electrolyte for fluoride shuttle batteries based on a new concept. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Medical Xpress / Low testosterone linked to cancer risk in men
New research shows men with very low testosterone levels are at higher risk of both fatal and nonfatal cancer later in life. But while the research found men with low testosterone were 18% more likely to die of cancer years ...
Medical Xpress / Small-molecule antiviral drug targets ACE2 receptor to block coronaviruses from entering cells
The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the rapid emergence of the omicron variant and its sublineages, has weakened the effectiveness of existing vaccines and antiviral drugs, underscoring the potential risk of ...
Phys.org / Primordial halo simulations reveal how cosmic storms shaped the universe's first stars
Just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, the universe was a dark and simple place. There were no galaxies like the Milky Way, no planets, and no heavy elements such as carbon or oxygen. Instead, vast clouds of ...
Phys.org / UK suffers as heat breaks new June record
The UK suffered its hottest-ever June day Thursday, with temperatures reaching 36.7C in the southwest, breaking a record set earlier that day as the extreme heat stretched London's ambulance services.
Phys.org / New energy-boosting quantum mechanism discovered in photosynthetic bacteria
Researchers have discovered how certain photosynthetic bacteria use a sophisticated quantum mechanism to increase their efficiency when capturing sunlight. The study, published today in the journal Nature Chemistry and led ...
Phys.org / Stress gives bees sharper vision and faster reactions, researchers discover
Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, new research from Newcastle University reveals.
Medical Xpress / Special protein in the brain's cleansing system may contribute to loss of brain function in Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and permanent loss of nerve cells in the brain. The breakdown causes memory loss, functional impairment and personality changes. In a new study published in Nature Aging, researchers found ...
Tech Xplore / Seaweed-based ingredient helps turn dirt into 3D-printed walls
An ingredient that gives ice cream a creamier texture could make natural earthen materials like clay and sand easier to 3D print into durable structures, according to new research led by scientists at the University of Colorado ...
Phys.org / Self-driving chemistry lab discovers catalysts that can switch products on demand
Researchers have developed a self-driving chemistry lab that can autonomously search through hundreds of catalyst recipes and reaction conditions to identify faster, more selective and more programmable ways to make important ...
Tech Xplore / 3D photothermal design unlocks 8.5-fold higher solar evaporation for desalination and crop irrigation
The global shortage of freshwater has become a critical challenge. Conventional water treatment relies heavily on fossil fuels and associated infrastructure, which can make it unsuitable for remote and harsh regions. In contrast, ...
