Medical Xpress / A new genetic link to pain provides a promising drug target
Chronic pain is life-changing and considered one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, making daily life difficult for millions of people around the world, and exacerbating personal and economic burdens. Despite ...
Phys.org / Self-renewing Fe-N-C catalyst shows improved durability for oxygen reduction in acid
Researchers at Tohoku University have created a new catalyst that can partly renew itself while working, opening possibilities for more durable materials in energy and chemical applications. The catalyst is designed for the ...
Phys.org / How migratory locusts balance aggregation and repulsion via olfactory neural modulation
In the natural world, animals rely on perceiving a range of signals to survive—and for insects, olfactory cues are particularly critical. These scents guide them to vital resources like mates, food, and egg-laying sites, ...
Medical Xpress / Lymphoma itself, not just treatment, can trigger rapid immune system and tissue aging
A new study led by a team of researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center reveals that lymphoma can accelerate the biological aging of the immune system and other tissues, providing new insight into how cancer reshapes the body beyond ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping fat: How microfluidics and mass spectrometry reveal lipid landscapes
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for ...
Phys.org / AI model maps building emissions to support fairer climate policies
An open-source artificial intelligence model to accurately map the carbon emissions of buildings across multiple cities could become a powerful new tool to help policymakers plan targeted and equitable decarbonization strategies.
Phys.org / Trapped calcium ions entangled with photons form scalable nodes for quantum networks
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have created a system in which individual qubits—stored in trapped calcium ions—are each entangled with separate photons. Demonstrating this method for a register of up to 10 ...
Tech Xplore / 3D printing method crafts customizable foods for people who have trouble swallowing
In rapidly aging societies like Japan, the simple act of swallowing meals can be challenging for many. This condition, known as dysphagia, affects millions of people worldwide and can significantly deteriorate a person's ...
Phys.org / New measurement station in Brazil: Quantum technology expands global network in search for dark matter
A highly sensitive quantum sensor from Jena has traveled nearly 9,000 kilometers: by truck to Hamburg, by ship across the Atlantic, and finally overland to Vassouras, Brazil.
Phys.org / Hidden turbulence discovered in polymer fluids
Turbulence, the chaotic, irregular motion that causes the bumpiness we sometimes experience on an airplane, has intrigued scientists for centuries. At the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), researchers are ...
Phys.org / Under or over? Automated technique can visualize and measure DNA tangles
At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules.
Medical Xpress / Hidden body fat linked to faster heart aging
Excessive amounts of visceral fat—the hidden fat surrounding organs—is linked with faster aging of the heart, a new study has found.
