Phys.org / How continental shelf seiches triggered flooding following New York and New Jersey hurricanes
In 1938 and 1944, two major hurricanes struck Long Island, and after the initial winds subsided, the surges came back unexpectedly hours later, leading observers to wonder whether this was a tsunami. In a study appearing ...
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 / Food waste can become jet fuel through simpler refining and 50-50 blending
The aviation industry accounts for a large portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. Biobased, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can mitigate climate impacts, but transitioning to SAF faces critical supply chain constraints. ...
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Binance to suspend crypto services in several EU countries
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance said Thursday it will suspend services in several European countries from next week as it has been unable to secure regulatory approval to operate in the European Union.
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Why pollution affects some asthma patients more than others
For many people with asthma, air-quality advisories are harbingers of worsening symptoms. But for reasons science has struggled to explain, the extent to which pollution exacerbates asthma varies widely from person to person.
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 / 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 / New algorithm identifies disease-linked changes in cells without prior training
A new algorithm could drive breakthroughs in understanding cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other potentially fatal conditions. Researchers from the University of Waterloo developed the machine-learning algorithm, called RNovA, ...
Phys.org / We checked 2,000 museum specimens and discovered a tiny new 'ferocious' Australian mammal
Australia is home to unusual mammals not found anywhere else—consider the platypus, Tasmanian devil or red kangaroo. But did you know our understanding of this continent's incredible mammalian diversity is still incomplete?
Phys.org / Scorching heat waves, torrential rain, all in a matter of days—it's not just bad luck
After a heat wave, we crave relief, not more extreme weather. But increasingly, we have to contend with a succession of extremes—ricocheting from extreme heat to intense storms to flooding waterways.
