Phys.org / Youth build resilience in climate-vulnerable Sierra Leone
Beginning two summers ago in a building lacking reliable power and internet, dozens of teenagers in Bo City, Sierra Leone watched videos about climate science, then discussed opportunities to build resilience in one of the ...
Phys.org / Molecular 'knitting machine' for bacterial capsules mapped in 3D
Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a capsule. This primarily protects the bacteria from environmental influences, but also serves as ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Algorithm achieves near end-to-end genome assembly without ultra-long DNA sequencing
Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard laboratory technology. ...
Tech Xplore / Woven nickel-titanium structures unlock new flexibility in 3D-printed shape-memory materials
At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to fabric than a typical ...
Medical Xpress / Connecting the dots between cause-effect events in Alzheimer's disease
A study published in Molecular Psychiatry reveals a path of cause-effect molecular events that can lead to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan ...
Phys.org / Offshore wind farms change ocean current patterns, simulations show
By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz Center Hereon have analyzed the long-term overall impact of this large number of wind farms on the ...
Phys.org / New tool could reduce collision risk for Earth-observation satellites
Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new way to design Earth-observation satellite missions that could help protect the space environment while continuing to deliver vital data for tackling global ...
Medical Xpress / How do Olympians get their bodies ready to compete at altitude?
Some athletes go to the gym. Some run long distances across vast terrains. Some even build their fitness using brine and seafoam. But many Olympic hopefuls, such as those competing in this year's Games, sometimes schlep to ...
Medical Xpress / Optimizing CAR T-cell therapy to tackle solid tumors
In 2024, Professor Sebastian Kobold's research group at LMU University Hospital had already shown that the metabolite prostaglandin E2 can block T cells—the killer cells of the immune system—in the vicinity of a tumor, ...
Phys.org / If alien signals have already reached Earth, why haven't we seen them?
For decades, scientists have searched the skies for signs of extraterrestrial technology. A study from EPFL asks a sharp question: if alien signals have already reached Earth without us noticing, what should we realistically ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Using an AI chatbot for health advice? Keep these tips in mind
Shaili Gupta often sees patients who consult chatbots like ChatGPT for health advice. She finds that some of her patients are much more informed about health-related issues and have follow-up questions that show a much better ...
