Phys.org / Targeting malaria at the source: Drug-treated nets eliminate parasites in resistant mosquitoes
Researchers have identified a type of chemical compound that, when applied to insecticide-treated bed nets, appears to kill the malaria-causing parasite in mosquitoes.
Medical Xpress / Reactivation of specific memories can indirectly strengthen related ones, study finds
Most humans can recall specific events and past experiences for long periods of time. This capability, referred to as episodic memory, is known to be in great part supported by the activity of neurons in the hippocampus and ...
Tech Xplore / AI may soon account for half of data center power use if trends persist
Alex de Vries-Gao, a PhD candidate at VU Amsterdam Institute for Environmental Studies, has published an opinion piece about the results of a simple study he conducted involving the possible amount of electricity used by ...
Phys.org / Hopes for alien life dim as doubts emerge over exoplanet K2-18b chemical signals
When astronomers announced last month they might have discovered the most promising hints of alien life yet on a distant planet, the rare good news raised hopes humanity could soon learn we are not alone in the universe.
Phys.org / A newly discovered type of superconductor is also a magnet
Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption.
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed device enables precise modeling of complex human tissues in the lab
A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University of Washington and UW Medicine ...
Medical Xpress / Organ-specific inflammation masquerades as relapse in CAR T-cell remission
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg have identified a previously undocumented, organ-specific toxicity linked to CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy in autoimmune disease. The syndrome, termed ...
Phys.org / Diamond nanoparticles get a quantum upgrade with shell inspired by TV technology
Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth and diagnosing diseases—even cancers—in their early stages.
Phys.org / An extreme cousin for Pluto? Possible dwarf planet discovered at solar system's edge
A small team led by Sihao Cheng, Martin A. and Helen Chooljian Member in the Institute for Advanced Study's School of Natural Sciences, has discovered an extraordinary trans-Neptunian object (TNO), named 2017 OF201, at the ...
Phys.org / Archaeologist sailing like a Viking makes unexpected discoveries
Archaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia and took routes farther from land ...
Phys.org / Study provides new insights into medieval sex workers and childcare
In 1998, excavations were conducted in advance of the construction of the Oude Vismarkt square in Aalst, Belgium. During excavations, archaeologists uncovered a 14th-century brothel. Unusual for the time, they also discovered ...
Phys.org / Jupiter was formerly twice its current size and had a much stronger magnetic field, study says
Understanding Jupiter's early evolution helps illuminate the broader story of how our solar system developed its distinct structure. Jupiter's gravity, often called the "architect" of our solar system, played a critical role ...
