Phys.org / Fire-footed rope squirrels identified as a natural reservoir for monkeypox virus
Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH), a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), together with an interdisciplinary team of partners, have identified the fire-footed rope squirrel ...
Medical Xpress / Minimally invasive surgery restores active dad's mobility
Stretching at the gym, AJ Starsiak felt an alarming pop in his back. Starsiak shrugged it off. An active 39-year-old father of two who plays softball and ice hockey, he was no stranger to minor injuries.
Phys.org / Predicting an animal's immune response based on its genetic data
What if cattle were selected not only for their productivity, but also for their resistance to disease? A study conducted by a team of scientists combining systemic immunology, genomics and machine learning provides a better ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic clues emerge from a molecular map of Alzheimer's disease
Rice University scientists have developed the first complete, label-free molecular atlas of the Alzheimer's brain in an animal model. The findings help advance understanding of Alzheimer's onset and progression, a disease ...
Phys.org / Rising CO₂ and warming jointly limit phosphorus availability in rice soils, decade-long study reveals
A decade-long study has revealed that rising atmospheric CO₂ and warming work together to reduce the availability of phosphorus in rice-upland crop rotation systems, potentially threatening future food security. The research, ...
Medical Xpress / Major depressive disorder shares immune abnormalities and potential therapies with inflammatory skin diseases
A team of leading clinical research scientists from the Departments of Psychiatry and Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has found that the serum of patients with major depressive disorder shares immune ...
Phys.org / Carbon nanotube 'sandpaper' polishes semiconductor surfaces down to a few atoms
The performance and stability of smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) services depend on how uniformly and precisely semiconductor surfaces are processed. KAIST researchers have expanded the concept of everyday "sandpaper" ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tool helps scientists see how cells work together inside diseased tissue
Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical research produces far more information than the human eye alone can handle, including detailed maps of ...
Phys.org / Mira A ejects seven Earth masses, forming a heart-shaped cloud 300 light-years away
Just in time for Valentine's Day, space offers a heart-shaped greeting. The star Mira A, about 300 light-years from Earth, has released material into an expanding cloud of gas and dust resembling a heart. Both the amount ...
Phys.org / New lithium-based green phosphors rival today's commercial LED standard
Research results from Innsbruck, Schwabmünchen, and Düsseldorf demonstrate how the most widely used green phosphors in commercial LEDs can be replaced by representatives of an entirely new class of compounds. Green luminescence, ...
Phys.org / Stiff gels slow germs: Mapping the hydrogel properties that control bacterial growth
Hydrogels are soft, jelly-like materials that can absorb large amounts of water. They are widely used in medical technologies such as contact lenses and wound dressings, and are also a staple of laboratory research, where ...
Phys.org / Seeing how atoms vibrate at the Ångström scale
Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) offers extremely high resolution to probe such vibrations. ...
