Phys.org / Research brings the era of microbial cell factories one step closer
The era of "biomanufacturing," in which microbes, not petroleum, produce chemical products, is one step closer. A KAIST research team has analyzed the key challenges limiting the commercialization of biomanufacturing and ...
Phys.org / To measure a black hole's ultimate spin, we have to go to space
Despite their depiction as massive monsters that simply suck in everything, including light, astronomers know black holes actually spin. And they spin really, really quickly. Determining just how quickly is key to understanding ...
Phys.org / How NASA's Artemis III lander test will pave way for moon landings
Before Artemis astronauts land on the moon's surface in 2028, NASA will conduct the Artemis III demonstration mission in 2027, allowing teams on Earth and in orbit to practice rendezvous and docking operations between commercial ...
Medical Xpress / Dynamic 3D scaffold could advance fibrosis and cancer research
Because living systems are dynamic, biomaterials should be dynamic in their mechanical properties, including stiffness. The bioelectronic conducting material PEDOT:PSS is often used in electronics and biomedical applications. ...
Medical Xpress / Study links sleeping long hours with higher levels of an Alzheimer's-related protein
Regularly sleeping long hours each night is associated with higher levels of an Alzheimer's-related protein in the blood, even after accounting for other health factors, a new study from UT Health San Antonio, the academic ...
Phys.org / What does it mean to be 'quantum?' A physicist explains the basics behind Einstein's spooky actions at a distance
Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious because, in the world we see around us, light appears ...
Tech Xplore / Driving the speed limit cuts millions in fuel costs, study finds
A nationwide study by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities reveals that adherence to posted speed limits could dramatically curb U.S. fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, saving Americans billions ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover genetic clues from a tumor-prone reptile that could advance cancer research
A new study led by experts at the University of Nottingham suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads. The findings of the study, ...
Tech Xplore / Testing the limits of what's possible (and what isn't) with AI
When can we trust the results we get from AI, and when is learning impossible? Researchers have shown that there are some problems that even the most powerful AI cannot reliably solve, no matter how much data it is given.
Phys.org / Disrupting single enzyme gene in herb red perilla produces green plants with enriched health-promoting molecules
Hiroshima University researchers have used genome editing to transform red perilla into a green look-alike and simultaneously restructured the plant's chemistry to boost levels of compounds prized for their potential health ...
Tech Xplore / Lower printing temperatures cut defects in aluminum 3D-printed parts, study finds
Scientists at The University of Manchester have uncovered how subtle changes in temperature during a promising metal 3D printing process can significantly affect the quality of aluminum components.
Medical Xpress / Targeting RBM5 may help disrupt 'undruggable' MYC in childhood leukemia
Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and collaborators have identified the RNA-binding protein RBM5 as a potential vulnerability in a set of difficult-to-treat childhood leukemias. They characterized how ...
