Phys.org / Using moon dirt with 3D printing to build future lunar colonies
Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D printing method, researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Blood lactate levels can predict physical outcomes for ALS patients
Higher levels of blood lactate may be the key to a longer life for people with the neurodegenerative condition ALS, new research suggests. A study at The University of Queensland and Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science ...
Tech Xplore / Longer-range electric vehicles: Dry-process electrodes use a lithium film to curb early losses
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel dry-process manufacturing method for thick electrodes aimed at enhancing electric vehicle (EV) driving range while reducing battery production costs. Professor Won-Jin ...
Phys.org / Protein regulator of sugars and fats may work with an unexpected partner—itself
A protein that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another protein, but new research shows it can also work with an unexpected partner—itself. A team of Penn ...
Tech Xplore / Designing the heart of hydrogen cars: AI points to zinc as key for stable fuel cell catalysts
In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of high cost and short lifespan. ...
Phys.org / NASA revamps Artemis moon landing program to reduce flight gaps and risk
NASA said Friday it's adding an extra moon mission by Artemis astronauts before attempting a high-risk lunar landing with a crew.
Tech Xplore / Carmaker BMW to trial humanoid robots at German factory
German carmaker BMW said Friday it plans to deploy two AI-powered humanoid robots in a factory in a pilot program for the first time this year.
Phys.org / Assessment tool LLMentor supports lecturers in providing feedback on academic texts
Academic writing is one of the skills that students find most difficult to learn on the side. Particularly in bachelor's programs, precise and specific feedback is needed to turn initial drafts into robust exposés for final ...
Phys.org / Coral proxy data reveals century-long slowdown of South China Sea throughflow under global warming
The South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) serves as a critical oceanic conveyor belt for heat and freshwater, mediating water exchanges between the South China Sea (SCS) and the Pacific and Indian oceans while regulating key ...
Medical Xpress / How a tick could help prevent diseases like MS and cancer
A team from the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute has identified a tick-derived evasin that can bind to two major classes of chemokines, a discovery that is important for the development of therapeutics targeting ...
Phys.org / Older male humpbacks sire more calves as populations recover from whaling
New research from the University of St Andrews published in Current Biology has shown that the role of age in male humpback whale reproduction has changed as populations recover from centuries of exploitation. Whaling drove ...
Phys.org / Single-celled organism becomes multicellular via three different pathways
Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger multicellular organism. A new ...
