Medical Xpress / Phase I trial finds topical PXS-6302 generally well tolerated in established skin scars
University of Western Australia's Burn Injury Research Unit with the Fiona Wood Foundation reports that topical pan-lysyl oxidase inhibition with PXS-6302 was generally well tolerated over three months and altered extracellular ...
Phys.org / Trilayer moiré superlattices unlock tunable control of exciton configurations
Moiré superlattices are periodic patterns formed when two or more thin semiconducting layers are stacked with a small twist angle or lattice mismatch. When 2D materials form these patterns, their electronic, mechanical, ...
Phys.org / Measuring the Unruh effect: Proposed approach could bridge gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics
Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their novel approach opens ...
Tech Xplore / Soft magnetoelastic sensor measures fatigue from eyeball movements in real-time
Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors that can reliably measure a wide range of physiological signals, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate and ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic deletion in cerebellum impedes hemisphere formation, study finds
The cerebellum, a brain region located at the back of the head that has long been known to support the coordination of muscle movements, has recently also been implicated in more sophisticated mental functions. Purkinje cells ...
Phys.org / For too long, colonial language has dominated space exploration: Is there a better way?
At an internal staff briefing last week, acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy declared the United States has a "manifest destiny to the stars," linking this to the need to win the "space race."
Phys.org / Plasma propulsion system could help remove space debris without contact
Space has a trash problem, with defunct satellites, rockets, and smaller broken bits orbiting Earth at high speeds. The amount of space junk is only increasing, raising the risk of collision with active satellites and spacecraft, ...
Phys.org / Upgraded single-photon detector searches for 'light' dark matter
About 80% of the universe's mass is thought to consist of dark matter. Yet, little is known about the composition and structure of the particles that make up dark matter, presenting physicists with some fundamental questions. ...
Phys.org / Super-X' design shows major advantages in handling hot exhaust of fusion energy
Temperatures of more than 10,000°C and a hail of charged particles from the fusion fuel (plasma): These are extreme conditions that the exhaust wall (divertor) of future fusion power plants will need to withstand. It makes ...
Phys.org / Ringing black hole confirms Einstein and Hawking's predictions
A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. Now, thanks to improved technology and a bit of luck, a newly detected black ...
Phys.org / Measuring the quantum W state: Seeing a trio of entangled photons in one go
The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately, this key characteristic ...
Phys.org / Cities need trees, but sometimes they have to be cut down. Here's why, and how to do it properly
Like all living things, trees have a limited life cycle, with phases of youth, maturity, and old age. In their prime, trees provide shade, coolness and environmental quality—as well as an undeniable aesthetic value—to ...
