Phys.org / X-rays reveal how platinum oxidizes in real time inside hydrogen devices
Electrolysers produce hydrogen. Fuel cells, in turn, generate electricity from hydrogen. Both technologies are considered key building blocks of the energy transition, offering well-established solutions for storing, transporting ...
Tech Xplore / Entirely new way of making espresso shakes up the coffee world
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have harnessed the power of ultrasonic sound waves to make espresso-strength coffee with room-temperature water, cutting energy use by up to 75%. That morning coffee kick from a shot of espresso ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep and exercise may curb heart risk from mutant white blood cells
Healthy sleep and regular exercise can work to counteract genetic mutations in white blood cells that are associated with cardiovascular disease and are most common among older people, Mount Sinai researchers have found. ...
Phys.org / 'Cool Routes' finds cooler walking paths with hourly forecasts and street-level shade data
The Arizona sunshine hits like a blowtorch. The pavement radiates heat like a stove burner. To make hot-weather walking less of an ordeal, Arizona State University researchers have created a web-based app that finds the coolest, ...
Phys.org / 'Black hole stars'—Webb finds strongest evidence yet
The complex puzzle known as little red dots has become more complete since their initial discovery by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. Now a particular little red dot's spectrum is helping connect many of the pieces.
Phys.org / New combined spore trapping and DNA sequencing technology tracks fungicide resistance in grain crops
Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping with advanced DNA sequencing to confirm fungicide resistance from air samples containing airborne spores.
Medical Xpress / Girls are biggest consumers of anxiolytic and sedative drugs among adolescents in most EU countries
Xabi Martinez-Mendia, a researcher at the EHU-University of the Basque Country, has analyzed how adolescent psychotropic drug consumption is linked to gender inequality and economic factors in 32 European countries. Published ...
Medical Xpress / Pangenome graph unlocks 20 near-complete variant groups in Japanese genomes
The race to complete the human pangenome—which comprises all genetic information across the human species—has been underway since 2022, when the first complete reference human genome sequence was released by the international ...
Science X / People are not as dishonest as we expect them to be, finds new study
According to a Pew Research report, Americans trust one another less than they did a few decades ago. Social trust is shaped largely by personal experiences of navigating the world, as well as by how strongly people believe ...
Phys.org / Chimpanzees react negatively to unfairness, especially when close partners are nearby
Primates, including humans, are among the social animals living on Earth. Their survival relies heavily on cooperation with others, alliances, the sharing of resources and other social interactions.
Phys.org / How bacteria organize themselves to 'hitchhike' across large distances
While scientists have studied how bacteria move toward food using a chemical radar known as chemotaxis, they have only watched single species swim in isolated environments over distances of only a few centimeters.
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular eraser' destroys cancerous mRNA before protein forms, reshaping cancer cells
Many of the deadliest forms of cancer are caused by a pathological mutation in the RAS protein. Yet, to date, no effective treatment for this cancer protein has been found. A new research approach aims to prevent the protein ...
