Phys.org / Mechanochemistry simplifies synthesis of challenging conductive organic molecules
Mechanochemistry is a growing field for chemical reactions that proceed in the solid state in the absence, or with minuscule amounts, of solvent added. For decades, solvents have been considered conventional for the progression ...
Phys.org / New genome editing method could swap entire genes and correct 1000 mutations at once
New technology enables the insertion of a large segment of DNA into a genome, potentially expanding gene therapy treatment from cancellation of disease-causing mutations to replacement of an entire gene, scientists say.
Medical Xpress / FDA approves once-daily Idvynso tablet for treating HIV
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Merck's Idvynso (doravirine/islatravir), a new, once-daily, two-drug single tablet for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults to replace the current antiretroviral regimen ...
Medical Xpress / Marker of biological aging linked to cognitive symptoms of depression
Blood tests measuring the aging of certain white blood cells can predict cognitive and mood-related symptoms of depression, rather than physical symptoms. These findings, published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: ...
Phys.org / Cities rethink beekeeping as honeybee boom may strain wild bees
The rising popularity of urban beekeeping has raised concerns about honeybee well-being and the impact they might have on wild bee populations in cities. A collaborative study by beekeepers, political stakeholders and research ...
Phys.org / Under crushing hypergravity, fruit flies adapt—and recover
Expose an animal to extreme physical stress, and the expectation is simple: It will break down. But when UC Riverside scientists subjected fruit flies to forces many times stronger than Earth's gravity—a condition called ...
Medical Xpress / Patients clam up with medical AI, and that gap could reshape digital diagnosis
It is quite possible that in the near future, people will have to describe their symptoms to an AI before they can get a doctor's appointment. The AI will then decide whether it is an emergency or if treatment can wait, and ...
Phys.org / DAMPE satellite reveals cosmic rays share spectral break near 15 teravolts
A century after their discovery, cosmic rays—particles of extreme energy originating from the far reaches of the universe—remain a mystery to scientists. The DAMPE (Dark Matter Particle Explorer) space telescope is tackling ...
Phys.org / Measurement of nuclear reactions at record-low energies opens new pathways for astrophysics research
An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the CRYRING@ESR storage ring, scientists were able to measure nuclear reactions at extremely low energies for ...
Phys.org / Light unlocks full polarization control at ultrafast speeds, reshaping photonics
Scientists at Heriot‑Watt University have demonstrated in a world-first, that light can be used to control every aspect of how electromagnetic waves oscillate, opening new technological frontiers. Researchers working in photonics, ...
Phys.org / Cities are getting hotter—and bigger. New research reveals the scale of the challenge
We tend to think of climate change impacts as dramatic and destructive. Storms and floods that bring down landslides and swamp streets, or raging wildfires that tear through forests and farmland.
Phys.org / Compound in ginger and turmeric may disarm drug-resistant bacteria
Every year, antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as staph, causes serious infections and outbreaks in hospitals and community settings, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations, including ...
