Medical Xpress / New study questions root cause of common dental defect in children
A major study has ruled out inflammation as the cause of a developmental condition affecting children's teeth while also revealing how common the condition is.
Tech Xplore / This robot can snuff out wildfires with a cryogenic spray
About 20 years ago, Yiannis Levendis, a professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern University, was working on an experiment to find an alternative to coal—grinding up old car and truck tires and burning ...
Phys.org / Water's local asymmetry drives proton hopping between molecules, simulations reveal
Complex simulations—the most intricate of their kind to date—carried out by an international research team led by scientists at Heidelberg University's Institute for Physical Chemistry, have revealed how water governs the ...
Phys.org / New thermodynamic framework explains pressure and edge currents in spinning active particles
Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), the Technical University of Darmstadt, Sapienza University in Rome and the University of Camerino (both in Italy) have calculated the fundamental laws of thermodynamics ...
Medical Xpress / ICU design guidelines highlight how hospital environments shape patient care and safety
International guidelines developed with contributions from a Texas A&M University College of Nursing researcher confirm the importance of thoughtful intensive care unit (ICU) design and encourage the involvement of nurses ...
Phys.org / New shrimpgoby species named after its colors and 'The Sunrise of Java'
Researchers have described a new species of shrimpgoby from the coastal waters off Banyuwangi, East Java, and given it a name that pays tribute to both its fiery coloration and its birthplace.
Medical Xpress / Targeting tumor acidity pathway may overcome PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a strategy to overcome PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer, one of the most common barriers to the long-term effectiveness of this widely ...
Medical Xpress / NPTN gene changes linked to rare developmental disorders in eight children
For some families, the reason their child is not developing as expected remains unclear for a long time. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN) in Magdeburg have now identified a genetic cause of a previously ...
Phys.org / Scientists cut and rebuild molecules from the inside to create new chiral nanocarbons
Nanocarbons are molecular-scale carbon structures considered to be the building blocks for next-generation materials. Until now, scientists have built them by fusing small, flat carbon molecules together at their edges. Modifying ...
Tech Xplore / Dynamic pitch shifts in vehicle sounds could help pedestrians assess collision risk earlier
To improve pedestrian safety in urban areas, researchers are developing technologies that alert pedestrians to potential hazards via smartphones or earbuds. However, loud warning sounds and strong vibrations can induce stress, ...
Phys.org / Nanomace catalyst boosts greenhouse gas breakdown up to 14.4-fold
Seoul National University (SNU) College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Jeong Woo Han of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new nanostructured catalyst with ...
Medical Xpress / Will dietary fiber help digestion? It might depend on your gut bacteria
Doctors recommend dietary fiber for healthy digestion, but to benefit from it, people not only need specific species of gut bacteria but also the right strains of those bacteria to process the starches, according to a new ...
