Medical Xpress / Study explores whether sustainable development research is really focused on well-being
The success of the United Nations' global sustainability targets is often measured through economic growth—but what about how people feel and live?
Medical Xpress / AI detects hidden objects on chest scans better than radiologists
Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can spot hard-to-see objects lodged in patients' airways better than expert radiologists.
Phys.org / China's stranded astronauts 'in good condition' after space debris delays planned return
The stranded crew of a Chinese space mission is "in good condition, working and living normally," China's Manned Space Engineering office said on Tuesday.
Phys.org / Artificial enzyme combines vitamin B2 with metal for next-generation catalysts
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) acts as an important coenzyme that helps convert food into energy within the body. Korean researchers have successfully created a new artificial enzyme for the first time in the world by combining ...
Phys.org / A single gene may shape the taste of tea
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, and the size of young buds directly influences both yield and quality. Larger buds can increase leaf mass, while different tea types require specific ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug protects mitochondria and prevents kidney injury in mice
Serious damage to short-term kidney function—known as acute kidney injury, or AKI—can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ranging from sepsis to ...
Phys.org / Bees thrive in overlooked pockets of Puget Sound
To the casual observer, it's nothing more than an abandoned golf course. But the land, along with other weedy, minimally maintained "marginal lands" in the Puget Sound area, is home to scores of wild bee species, including ...
Tech Xplore / New recharge-to-recycle reactor turns battery waste into new lithium feedstock
As global electric vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. Lithium is costly to mine and refine, and most current recycling methods are energy- and chemical-intensive, ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer care crowdfunding increasingly common, but rarely successful
A growing number of desperate cancer survivors are turning to crowdfunding to help pay for their treatment and living expenses, a new study says.
Medical Xpress / Infants born with hearing loss show disruptions in brain design, underscoring the urgency of intervention
Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research.
Phys.org / Electric fields steer nanoparticles through a liquid-filled maze, offering improved drug delivery and purification
In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with an electrical charge—from ...
Phys.org / Could altering mosquitoes' internal clocks stop them from biting?
People who live in the tropical areas where Aedes aegypti mosquitoes reside have probably known for centuries, or even millennia—thanks to their itchy bites—that the mosquitoes hunt most often at dawn and dusk. A new ...
