Medical Xpress / Breast cancer risk in younger women may be influenced by hormone therapy
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that two common types of hormone therapy may alter breast cancer risk in women before age 55. The study, "Hormone therapy use and young-onset breast cancer: ...
Phys.org / AI pinpoints promising materials that capture only CO₂ from air
In order to help prevent the climate crisis, actively reducing already-emitted CO₂ is essential. Accordingly, direct air capture (DAC)—a technology that directly extracts only CO₂ from the air—is gaining attention. ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered protein can turn off tissue-damaging immune cells in autoimmune diseases
An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, shows a new study in mice.
Phys.org / New catalyst cuts precious palladium expenditure 100-fold by using recycled waste
Researchers have created a palladium-on-carbon catalyst for drug, pesticide, and plastic production that is very sparing in terms of precious metal use. In the new catalyst, palladium is carried on carbon particles manufactured ...
Phys.org / Australia's cutest mammal is now Australia's cutest three mammals
Australia is home to more than 60 species of carnivorous marsupials in the family Dasyuridae. Almost a quarter of those have only been scientifically recognized in the past 25 years.
Tech Xplore / Flexible zinc–ion batteries maintain stable voltage after bending with new hydrogel electrolyte
A research team led by Prof. Hu Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a highly durable hydrogel electrolyte for aqueous zinc–ion batteries (AZIBs) ...
Phys.org / Injectable biomaterial delivers dual therapies to promote nerve repair after spinal injury
A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery outcomes following spinal cord injuries. The study, recently published in the journal Biomaterials, ...
Tech Xplore / The physics of popping: Building better jumping robots
Inspired by a simple children's toy, a jumping popper toy, researchers have unlocked a key to designing more agile and predictable soft robots. Soft robots, made from flexible materials, hold immense promise for delicate ...
Medical Xpress / Senescence uncovered: Scientists find worms can mimic mammalian cell aging process
Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have found that worms can enter a senescent-like state, similar to that ...
Phys.org / Discovery in quantum materials could make electronics 1,000 times faster
Researchers at Northeastern University have discovered how to change the electronic state of matter on demand, a breakthrough that could make electronics 1,000 times faster and more efficient.
Phys.org / Global study shows worldwide threat of antibiotic resistance in livestock waste
An international study by Michigan State University and partner researchers has uncovered a hidden danger lurking in animal farms around the world: Livestock manure is packed with antibiotic resistance genes that could threaten ...
Phys.org / Enhanced quantum computers and beyond: Exploring magnons with superconducting qubits
Devices taking advantage of the collective quantum behavior of spin excitations in magnetic materials—known as magnons—have the potential to improve quantum computing devices. However, using magnons in quantum devices ...
