Phys.org / Smarter, greener ways to protect fragile cultural heritage
Museums, libraries, archives and heritage organizations face a difficult problem: Many of the objects they preserve are made from materials that naturally deteriorate.
Phys.org / Fat-storing cell structures may block viral spread by recruiting antiviral proteins
La Trobe University scientists have uncovered the critical role fatty cell structures play in our body's early detection and defense against viruses. Published in Nature Communications, the discovery could open the door to ...
Medical Xpress / Potential new therapeutic targets for preeclampsia discovered
Unusual behavior in the cells of mothers and babies with preeclampsia may provide new therapeutic targets for the condition, a new UCL-led study finds.
Medical Xpress / New mechanoresistant cancer cells show how they survive high stress environments
When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, faraway location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high-force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared ...
Medical Xpress / Giving antibodies 'eyes' may help target hidden KRAS mutations in cancer cells
Antibodies are like "guided missiles" that find and attack cancer cells, but cancer-causing mutations inside cells have remained a "blind spot" for treatment because antibodies cannot reach them. KAIST researchers have now ...
Tech Xplore / Bubble control tech unlocks electricity-free hydrogen peroxide production at industrial-level rates
A research team led by Professor Sunghak Park of the Department of Future Energy Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, with research teams from Korea University and Northwestern University, has developed an innovative electrochemical ...
Tech Xplore / Get ready for mobile 'stores on wheels.' Research shows they can outperform traditional retail stores
As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny memory switches could shrink 5G and 6G radio-frequency chips
Mobile phones today handle far more wireless signals and services than earlier generations. The same is true of the sophisticated equipment behind mobile networks, such as base stations, and emerging technologies such as ...
Phys.org / Io's volcanic output offers a 40‑day forecast of plasma density in Jupiter's magnetosphere
A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA's Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute's Io Input Output observatory (IoIO) shows that IoIO observations reliably predict the density of Jupiter's ...
Phys.org / Wound odors may unlock better traps for flesh-eating New World screwworm
Jessica Metcalf's work stinks. Literally. But the Colorado State University professor's research may be key to protecting livestock and wildlife from a flesh-eating parasite.
Phys.org / Combining AI protein design with laboratory evolution improves engineered enzymes
When scientists want to create a protein that can potentially treat disease, one approach is to begin with a different protein and evolve it in the lab, selecting over many generations for versions with a new, desired function.
Phys.org / World's first 'zinc oxide spin qubit' could advance scalable quantum devices
A research team led by SKKU professor Hosung Seo of the Department of Quantum Information Engineering and the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology, working with the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University ...
