Phys.org / Failed experiment leads to surprise drug development breakthrough
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than toxic chemicals—a discovery that could accelerate and improve how medicines are designed and made. ...
Phys.org / Fortified salad packs a healthy punch to meet a growing vitamin B12 need
A pioneering research-industry partnership has used advances in indoor farming technology to grow pea shoots fortified with vitamin B12, opening an exciting route to market for farmers and addressing a major public health ...
Phys.org / Self-regenerating catalyst restores its own performance, advancing CO₂ conversion technology
Technologies that convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from factories and power plants into useful chemical feedstocks are considered key to achieving carbon neutrality. However, rapid degradation of catalyst performance ...
Medical Xpress / The uterus' immune system can regenerate after transplantation, study shows
The immune system in the uterus can regenerate after both uterus transplantation and bone marrow transplantation. This is shown by a new study from Karolinska Institutet. The new insights into how the uterine immune environment ...
Medical Xpress / A new reagent makes living brains transparent for deeper, non-invasive imaging
Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function—sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Yet the solution may already exist within our own bodies. In a paper published in ...
Phys.org / Caught but not eaten: Smaller insects more likely to escape catfish mouths
A Kobe University study shows that small aquatic beetles survive catfish attacks by resisting ingestion inside the catfish's mouth and being spat out alive. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of size-dependent ...
Phys.org / Y-doped catalyst transforms ammonia into sustainable hydrogen energy
Ammonia isn't just for cleaning supplies and plant fertilizers—it can also serve as a precursor to clean hydrogen energy. The decomposition of ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon-free pathway that makes hydrogen, which ...
Tech Xplore / How Apple's new low-cost MacBook Neo may shake up the market
With a price tag of $600—$500 with a student discount—Apple's new MacBook Neo releasing today is shaking up the entry-level PC market and education sector, competing squarely with similarly priced Windows laptops and ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discuss fortifying our planetary defenses
When people think of asteroids, they tend to picture rare, civilization-ending impacts like those depicted in movies such as "Armageddon." In reality, the asteroids most likely to affect modern society are much smaller. While ...
Phys.org / Despite their contrasting reputations, bonobos and chimpanzees show similar levels of aggression in zoos
Chimpanzees have a reputation for being aggressive, while bonobos are often seen as their peaceful counterparts. This contrast has frequently been used to explain different sides of human nature. However, a new study by Utrecht ...
Medical Xpress / Biological sign pinpoints 'fast agers' at high risk of kidney disease
A new study led by Federation University researchers has identified a specific biological signature within the human kidney that could hold the key to predicting and managing age-related organ failure. The research shows ...
Phys.org / Winters set the stage for summer Great Barrier Reef bleaching risk
The study, published in Coral Reefs, tests how winters influence coral sensitivity to bleaching—either priming them to cope with heat stress or leaving them more vulnerable in the subsequent summer.
