Phys.org / System isolates single extracellular vesicle surface proteins to map function
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an essential role in tissue repair, neuroprotection and immune health. By isolating the surface proteins ...
Medical Xpress / Black Americans face increasingly higher risk of gun homicide death than white Americans
Firearm homicide death rates have long been disproportionately higher for Black Americans compared to white Americans, and a new analysis across 45 years suggests that in recent years, this disparity has grown. Alex Knorre ...
Phys.org / Why the planet doesn't dry out all at once: Scientists solve a global climate puzzle
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), in collaboration with international partners, have shown that ocean temperature patterns help limit the global spread of droughts. Published in Communications ...
Tech Xplore / Rise of the rice robots—creating active smart materials
Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to design a new material that could be used to build "soft" robots that change stiffness automatically ...
Phys.org / Targeted climate policies are successfully cutting carbon, study shows
Countries with stricter and better-targeted climate policies cut carbon emissions faster, according to a major new study by researchers in the UK and EU. The study draws on the most comprehensive climate policy dataset ever ...
Medical Xpress / Civilians face increasing harm from deadly explosive weapons, 17-country study finds
A University of Queensland study has found that almost 90% of people killed and injured by landmines and similar weapons are civilians. Dr. Stacey Pizzino from UQ's School of Public Health, together with her research team, ...
Phys.org / Mate choice: How social trends influence mate diversity
Whether people follow a general trend when choosing a partner or consciously decide against it has a noticeable impact on the diversity of phenotypes to choose from. This is shown by a new study by the University of Würzburg.
Phys.org / Getting closer to the stars: Fink, a French tool for tracking transient phenomena across the observable universe
Thanks to Fink, a software package created by two CNRS engineers, it is now possible to track millions of transient celestial phenomena observed in the sky by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, in real time and with ...
Tech Xplore / Solvent‑free perovskite solar cell technology could pave way for scalable production
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe that markedly enhances the crystal quality of vacuum-deposited perovskite films. This advance brings ...
Medical Xpress / Why our immune system remembers vaccinations for decades
Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen have now investigated this question. ...
Medical Xpress / As worms and jellyfish wriggle, new AI tools track their neurons
Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, neuroscientists often choose simple, transparent lab animals because it's possible to see all their ...
Phys.org / When smaller means better: How device scaling enhances memory performance
Shrinking ferroelectric tunnel junctions can significantly boost their performance in memory devices, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. The team fabricated nanoscale junctions directly on silicon substrates and ...
