Phys.org / How lipid nanoparticles carrying vaccines release their cargo
A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are often packed in little ...
Tech Xplore / 'Discovery learning' AI tool predicts battery cycle life with just a few days' data
An agentic AI tool for battery researchers harnesses data from previous battery designs to predict the cycle life of new battery concepts. With information from just 50 cycles, the tool—developed at University of Michigan ...
Phys.org / From cryogenic to red-hot: Optical temperature sensing from 77 K to 873 K
An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent material that enables particularly robust and precise optical temperature sensing across an exceptionally ...
Phys.org / DIVE multi-agent workflow streamlines hydrogen storage materials discovery
Developing new materials can involve a dizzying amount of trial and error for different configurations and elements. Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen a surge of popularity in energy materials research for its potential ...
Phys.org / Oysters play unexpected role in protecting blue crabs from disease
Oysters famously filter their surrounding water, but it turns out they are removing more than algae and excess nutrients. New research from William & Mary's Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences & VIMS shows they can ...
Medical Xpress / Spray away infections: New device delivers antibiotics via mist, alleviating risks of side effects
A University of Missouri researcher has unveiled a safer, smarter way to fight drug-resistant infections. Dr. Hongmin Sun, an associate professor in the School of Medicine, has demonstrated that a spray-mist device can deliver ...
Phys.org / Lab-grown beef: Novel line of bovine embryonic stem cells shows promise
Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem cells, which have significant potential for a variety of new innovations, from lab-grown meat to ...
Phys.org / Analysis reveals interhemispheric thermal imbalance as key to Asian-Australian monsoon variability
The Asian-Australian monsoon system (A-AuMS) is the world's most typical cross-equatorial coupled monsoon system. On a seasonal timescale, the summer monsoon in one hemisphere is usually linked to the winter monsoon in the ...
Phys.org / 2024 total eclipse subtly shifted animal calling across three Ohio prairies, study finds
No natural phenomenon provides a rarer chance to study the secrets of the animal world than a total solar eclipse. This was recently demonstrated by researchers investigating how a total solar eclipse might affect the soundscape ...
Medical Xpress / High-dose antioxidants linked to offspring birth defects
Antioxidants have been marketed as miracle supplements, touted for preventing chronic diseases and cancers; treating COPD and dementia; and slowing aging.
Phys.org / Invisible actors in groundwater mapped for first time, revealing role in freshwater reservoir
Groundwater is considered the largest reservoir of liquid freshwater on Earth and a habitat for complex microbial communities that drive essential biogeochemical cycles. Until now, the role of viruses that infect microorganisms ...
Phys.org / Nanocrystal biohybrids harvest light to reduce N₂ gas to ammonia
Ammonia, a key part of nitrogen fertilizers, is central to sustaining global food production. However, its manufacture is also energy intensive: Ammonia production requires 2% of global energy to meet global demand. Approximately ...
