Phys.org / Marine heat waves are cooking our ocean ecosystems—and will only become more common
You may have heard reports of fish die-offs or seen photos of hauntingly bleached coral.
Phys.org / One-step synthesis of catalysts that turn carbon dioxide into useful methane
A simple flame-synthesis method can produce highly active catalysts for converting carbon dioxide into methane, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. The team used flame-assisted spray pyrolysis to manufacture nickel–cerium ...
Medical Xpress / Intensive blood pressure lowering cut recurrent stroke risk by around 38% after brain hemorrhage
Intensive, long-term blood pressure-lowering treatment reduced the risk of recurrent stroke by 38%, without increasing serious adverse events, in people who have survived an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The findings of ...
Medical Xpress / Impaired brain protein drives fat cravings and obesity in mice
Obesity is a global health concern that can contribute to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic disorders. While many health conditions can lead to obesity, an increasingly worrying cause is found on grocery ...
Tech Xplore / AI and electrolyte engineering open new paths for better batteries
Cornell researchers are using artificial intelligence to speed the search for better battery materials while using a creative approach to chemistry to expand the design space for electrolytes, unlocking new possibilities ...
Medical Xpress / First heart signaling atlas could help identify drugs that act directly on heart muscle
QIMR Berghofer researchers have created the most detailed map yet of the chemical signals that control heart function, opening new avenues for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease.
Medical Xpress / School-based hybrid tools can improve youth well-being, but research gaps persist
Children and youth face rising mental health challenges in an increasingly digital world, especially those from marginalized populations. A new systematic review and meta-analysis of universal digital mental health interventions, ...
Phys.org / How multilayer nanocoatings dissipate energy at the nanoscale to prevent failure
An international research team including Alexander Korsunsky from the Skoltech Engineering Center has, for the first time, directly measured mechanical stresses at the contact between a diamond indenter and a complex nanostructured ...
Phys.org / 'How many will die?': The mysterious ailment killing Kenyan elephants
Lying on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust, the elephant slowly exhausted himself in futile attempts to stand, the latest potential victim of a still-mysterious ailment in southern Kenya.
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop automated MRI system to strengthen stroke treatment studies
Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed an automated system that uses MRI to measure brain tissue changes in animal ...
Phys.org / DNA origami nanosyringe actively transports molecules into synthetic cells
Transporting molecules across biological membranes is essential for life. In nature, this can occur through passive transport, known as diffusion. "Biological systems often use mechanical motion to accomplish tasks that cannot ...
Medical Xpress / For early prostate cancer, 'active surveillance' is now the number 1 choice
Three decades after UC San Francisco pioneered "active surveillance" for patients with low-risk prostate cancer, a new study has found that the vast majority of veterans with the diagnosis pursued this option instead of treatment.
